Computer algorithm helps develop ultra-powerful peptides
During the past several years, many strains of bacteria have become resistant to existing antibiotics, and very few new drugs have been added to the antibiotic arsenal.To help combat this growing public health problem, some scientists are exploring antimicrobial peptides — naturally occurring peptides found in most organisms. Most of these are not powerful enough to fight off infections in humans, so researchers are trying to come up with n...
Cesium atomic clock portfolio compliant with ITU standards
Microsemi has announced completion of certification of its portfolio of cesium clocks to be compliant with the new G.811.1 recommendation (known as enhanced Primary Reference Clocks, or ePRC) from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for timing characteristics of enhanced primary reference clocks. This new standard raises the bar for frequency accuracy by an order of magnitude from 1x10E-11 to 1x10E-12.
Shifting advanced medical care from hospital to home
Healthcare is evolving and even where clinical care is delivered is changing. Fifty years ago, patients stayed in the hospital for weeks after an appendectomy. Today they go home the same or the next day. Some patients nowadays stay due to common problems: for DVT prophylaxis after surgery, for physical therapy, for antibiotics and serial CBCs to monitor the progress of infection, and so on. But as technology evolves, some of these clinical tasks...
Under the radar: Clanking the blockchains
In case you hadn’t noticed, there is a new bandwagon to jump on. This one is called blockchain and it is meant to be the answer to all our security problems.Such is the hype, it is being reported that an American drinks company changed its name from Long Island Iced Tea Corp to Long Blockchain Corporation and saw its share price quadruple in a day. The biggest mystery to me is just why the Americans like cold tea.Steve Rogerson looks at som...
