Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…

Two new methods allow the specific and sensitive detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infections in normal blood samples, even in early stages of disease where animals exhibit clinical symptoms and in blood samples taken from calves.<br>
Both methods involve flow cytometry procedures which are ba-sed on the specific measurement of IFN-? release or based on the determination of MAP-specific antibodies, respectively.
Power stations, oil refineries, factories and other types of industrial plant will, when some more development work has been done, be much better able to work…
