 Genetics plays we sometimes ugly towers ... As demonstrated by a study by the University of Pennsylvania in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, which concluded that smokers and smokers carrying a defective gene generally have cognitive impairment, such as difficulty concentrating, they stop smoking .
Specifically, this genetic variant bad, holding the code of a certain enzyme that controls dopamine, influence the levels of dopamine in the brain, which increases the risk of relapse among smokers who try to stop smoking.
The search for James Loughead and Caryn Lerman has therefore focused on volunteers smokers, all with various versions of a gene that affects the amount of circulating dopamine in the prefrontal cortex.

Nuclear fusion, a reality from 2011?

HUMER

 Nuclear fusion is something that scientists dream since the mid-40s, after the fission reaction has been obtained and that the first atomic bomb was created.
Since then, nuclear energy has become a part of everyday life, with plants under construction around the world, from Korea to India, but also, of course, the USA, China , Russia and France, as you know.
Smaller countries such as Romania and Bulgaria also have nuclear energy, providing electricity to a large percentage of their national power grids. Nuclear power plants require huge amounts of water to operate, as well as uranium, rare resource.

 Clearly, our world is full of hidden discoveries through time and history! Last days to find the exhumation of a human skull yet have a brain by a team of palaeontologists.Uncovered near the city of York in northern England, by Rachel Cubitt of the York Archaeological Trust and his colleagues, the relic was hidden under the soil of an area of excavations dating back to 300 years BC -- C and would probably have been used in a ceremonial rite.
The brain, 2000 years old, has its origins in the Iron Age and represent the oldest fossil of its kind that the scientific community has discovered so far.The head of the excavations realized that the skull could be completed by feeling something move inside of it at the time of its discovery. It contained a substance actually yellowish characteristic of a brain, showing the living tissue residue archaic.

 The Ornithomimosauria or Ornithomimidae ( "Imitations of bird" in Latin) commonly called "ostrich dinosaurs" because of their morphological characteristics, were dinosaurs theropods of medium size, long neck, beak edentulous (except for species the most primitive) with big eyes and long legs built for the race. They lived on in Laurasian Cretaceous Lower Cretaceous higher, until the Cretaceous extinction. It is possible that they appeared to go from the Jurassic, although it is not yet confirmed.
Description
Head Gallimimus bullatus
This group is characterized by their small size (no more than 3 meters high), with a long neck, a head with big eyes, the brain relatively large contribution by the rest of the body, long arms with three-fingered hands with long, curved claws, the long legs made for a high speed, feet trydactiles (probably with a pin smallest behind) and an equally long tail which was used as a stabilizer in the run.

 The dinosaurs (Dinosauria in Latin) are vertebrates ruling on terrestrial ecosystems for over 160 million years. They appeared on Earth in the first half of the Triassic (about -251 to -199.6 million years), there are over 230 million years. The supercontinent of Pangea was not fragmented, the dinosaurs were able to colonize every continent on foot dry At the end of the Cretaceous, there are about 65 million years, a disaster caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and ended their reign on terrestrial wildlife. A group of dinosaurs, however, has survived the disaster, because taxonomists consider birds today as the descendants of dinosaurs theropods.
Since the first dinosaur fossils were found in the early nineteenth century, the reconstructed skeleton and exhibitions have become major attractions in museums around the world. Dinosaurs have become part of popular culture, appearing in books and movies success, and new discoveries are regularly reported in the media.

According to experts in telecommunications, of the many variants, the technologies that will impact on the future of mobility are Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G or UMTS. Although together, these technologies have their particularities and differences:
The protocol wireless Wi-Fi is a favorite based and OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), noted for its high speed.
WiMAX is considered the standard of the future, offering a higher speed of data transmission but faces competition from FLASH-OFDM, developed primarily by the company Qualcomm.
