Village boy moves to London

Deconstructing the Tower of London: alternative moves and conflict resolution as predictors of task performance.

Despite widespread use the cognitive demands of the five-disc Tower of London (TOL) are unknown. Research suggests that conflict moves (those that are essential to the solution but do not place a disc in its final position) are a key aspect of performance. These were examined in three studies via a verification paradigm, in which normal participants were asked to decide whether a demonstrated m...

Scores for Effective Forest Conservation: A Village-to- Village Approach

Community forestry in Nepal strives for forest conservation and sustainable forest management. Evaluating progress towards this end requires periodic measurements, and currently there are no standard tools for undertaking evaluations in a participatory way.

Like most people, they do not spend much time thinking about their relationship to other life forms, and they generally act, unknowingly, as if human beings were separate from the rest of nature—as if we could change the composition of the at...

Innate DNA sensing moves to the nucleus.

It has been assumed that cells distinguish viral from cellular DNA due to the former's presence in the cytosol. However, in this issue, Kerur et al. (2011) propose that the DNA genome of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is recognized inside the nucleus by the DNA sensor IFI16, leading inflammasome activation.
