Study Suggests Music Industry Embrace Piracy

unassimilatible writes to tell us that according to the Financial Times, the music industry should embrace illegal file-sharing websites. A recent study of the recent Radiohead album release found that huge numbers of illegal downloads actually helped the band's popularity and, by extension, concert ticket sales. "Radiohead's release of In Rainbows on a pay-what-you-want basis last October generated enormous traffic to the band's own website and intense speculation about how much fans had paid. He urged record companies to study the outcome and accept that file-sharing sites were here to stay. 'It's time to stop swimming against the tide of what people want,' he said." Update 19:46 GMT by SM: Several readers (including the original author) have written in to mention that it isn't stressed enough that this study was engaged by the music in

2008 Digital Camera Usage and Satisfaction Study

The 2008 Digital Camera Usage and Satisfaction Study examines camera model lines in four body-style segments: point and shoot, premium point and shoot, ultra slim and digital single-lens reflex (DSLR). In each segment, four factors are measured to determine customer satisfaction: picture quality, performance, ease of operation, and appearance and styling. The study is based on responses from more than 8,000 consumers who purchased a digital camera between April 2007 and March 2008. The study was fielded in June and July 2008.

On the Effect of Low-Energy Electron Induced DNA Strand Break in Aqueous Solution: A Theoretical Study Indicating Guanine as a Weak Link in DNA

In this theoretical study we have investigated the effect of low-energy electrons attached onto a 3′-guanine monophosphate, 3′-GMP, in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. DFT calculations with B3LYP/DZP++ were performed to study the C3′−O3′ bond break of a 3′-GMP radical anion. Our results show that low-energy electrons, if attached to a 3′-GMP with a neutrally charged phosphate group, can easily induce a C3′−O3′ bond break in both the gas phase and aqueous solution. The activation energy was found here to be 10.3 kcal/mol in the gas phase and, even lower, 5.3 kcal/mol in aqueous solution. In comparison with calculated activation energies for other nucleotides the 3′-GMP has the lowest energy barrier in aqueous solution.

NSF-funded Rice study will trace path of nanomaterials

Working to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials is the basis of a new Rice study funded by the National Science Foundation. Led by Pedro Alvarez, the George R. Brown Professor and chair of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, and Vicki Colvin, the Pitzer-Schlumberger Professor of Chemistry and director of the Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology, the study will trace tagged nanoparticles to increase understanding of how they move through the environment and what impact they may have on the health and function of natural systems.

Presentation of Preliminary Feasibility Study on Guggenheim Museum

Earlier today, representatives from Guggenheim Foundation (New York) have introduced a preliminary feasibility study on Guggenheim Museum. A working group set up by the Prime Minister and led by Chancellor of the Government Valdemaras Sarapinas will take two weeks to analyse the information presented by the guests and subsequently advise the project authors of the conclusions to be taken into account in the finalized feasibility study which is expected to be submitted by the end of this year.

LegalView Reports Results of a Breakthrough Study Investigating Link Between Genetic Predisposition and Developing Mesothelioma Cancer

blog of an advanced scientific investigation studying the link between asbestos and genetics. Researchers, who found a genetic response to a specific type of asbestos known as crocidolite, published their findings in an August 2008 issue of BMC Genetics. The study, a first of its kind, used a methodology of exposing cells within the human lung lining to asbestos and then scientists watched the reaction and changes. The study offers mesothelioma victims a unprecedented look into how asbestos affects the human body. Victims were also provided with a gleam of progress on finding a cure for the condition, although the scientists stated more research is required.
