Why Keep Them Alive

Why keep climate records - and how to keep them

For all our concern about the damage caused to art by the environment, there are no data which allow us to connect measured environmental variables with the rate of deterioration of the art in exhibition or storage. Recent proposals for rating the suitability of spaces and the vulnerability of individual objects require a durability of electronic data which is very unlikely to be achieved. This...

Rods Feed Cones to Keep them Alive

Cone photoreceptors, responsible for high-resolution and color vision, progressively degenerate following the death of rod photoreceptors in the blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa. Aït-Ali et al. describe a molecular mechanism by which RdCVF, a factor normally released by rods, controls glucose entry into cones, enhancing their survival.

The evolving story of orexin biology: the hits keep coming

In the span of just 11 years since their discovery, the study of the orexins (hypocretins) has not only provided insight into the biology of sleep/wakefulness, but also demonstrated the importance of the development of new pharmacologic tools and genetic models with which to understand basic physiologic mechanisms and provide potential strategies for the treatment of human pathologies. Highligh...

"They Keep Coming Back Like Zombies": Improving Software Updating Interfaces

Users often do not install security-related software updates, leaving their devices open to exploitation by attackers. We are beginning to understand what factors affect this software updating behavior but the question of how to improve current software updating interfaces however remains unanswered. In this paper, we begin tackling this question by studying software updating behaviors, designi...
