These are very erratic winds, which can be blowing perpendicular to one another, she said. You never know where they re coming from, and that s a huge safety concern for firefighters.

About 40 residents had been evacuated from the area, about 60 miles north of San Francisco, including occupants of six homes ordered evacuated Monday morning, Marshall said.Others living in the area were urged to have evacuation plans ready because the blaze was considered to be threatening 200 other houses and five businesses.The fire also threatened major power lines from 21 generating plants in the Geysers, the world s largest geothermal power facility.On Saturday, two-thirds of the plants and two transmission lines were shut down, said Kent Ckzb Guards Secure $131M Jackpot
To get a super-detailed X-ray view inside a cell鈥攔ight down to the individual molecules鈥攕cientists dunk the cell they ;re looking at in preservative chemicals. That not only kills the cell, it changes its internal structure ever so slightly, meaning researchers aren ;t getting an exact look at the cell natural state. Now, scientists at Germany DESY Research Center have found a way around that, with a technique that produced the world first X-ray of an individual liv

They grew the cells on silicon nitrite plates, which are nearly invisible to X-rays, pumping nutrients to the cells and evacuating

Because long exposure to high-energy X-ray can damage or kill a living cell, the researchers used tiny, 0.05-second X-ray blasts to produce images so clear, even nanometer-scale structures are visible. When compared with images of chemically-fixed cells, these X-rays prove that the chemical fixation process makes significant changes to the tiny, 30- to 50-nanometer structures within the cell. Yes, technically speaking, the X-ray you got at your last dentist appointment was looking at and through living ce
