Gates defends focus on high-tech agriculture (AP)
AP - Bill Gates has a terse response to criticism that the high-tech solutions he advocates for world hunger are too expensive or bad for the environment: Countries can embrace modern seed technology and genetic modification or their citizens will starve.

Samsung Wins Dutch Decision in Apple Patent War
Samsung has won a major battle in the Apple-Samsung Legal World War. On Tuesday, an appeals court in The Netherlands denied Apple's request to ban sales in Europe of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet.The decision upholds a lower court ruling in August, in which Apple had contended that Samsung illegally copied the iPad's design. Apple had previously won a Europe-wide preliminary injunction in The Netherlands against Samsung's Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, and Ace smartphones.
'No Coincidence' In December, a U.S. District Court also denied Apple's motion for a ban on the Tab 10.1, prior to a scheduled trial in July. A temporary ban on the Tab in Australia has expired, and a trial is scheduled in that country in March. Apple also has recently sued Samsung in Germany, seeking a ban on a variety of Samsung products, including the Tab. The German court can consider the Dutch decision in its deliberations.
Tuesday's decision in Holland said that Apple's rights to its design were relatively narrow, and that Samsung had not infringed those rights in the design for its tablet. Among other things, the judges pointed out that the iPad and the Tab 10.1 had different backs and sides, and different thicknesses.
In a statement to news media, Samsung said "this ruling again demonstrates that Apple's products simply do not warrant the intellectual protections it believes." Apple has not yet commented on the decision.
In an earlier statement, Apple had said that "it's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging."
Prior Art Apple had sought a wider interpretation of its design rights. But the Dutch court found that there were product examples previous to the iPad, or prior art, such as a concept video produced...

Acid reflux drug does not improve asthma in children
Children without symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux whose asthma was being poorly controlled with anti-inflammatory treatment did not have an improvement in symptoms or lung function with the added treatment of the proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole, compared to patients who received placebo, according to a study in the January 25 issue of JAMA. Use of lansoprazole was associated with increased adverse events. -

22:24Cyano-bridged bimetal assemblies attract attention because of their magnetic properties such as photomagnetization, humidity-induced magnetization, and nonlinear magneto-optical effect, which make them suitable for many applications. A high Curie temperature is an asset for the use of such magnetic compounds in functional materials. Hexa-, hepta-, and octacyanometalates have been shown to have high Curie temperatures as a result of the high coordination number of their metal centers and the large superexchange interactions due to their diffuse 4d or 5d orbitals. Shin-ichi Ohkoshi and his co-workers at the University of Tokyo report the compound with the highest Curie temperature among octacyano-bridged bimetal assemblies in the Short Communication published in the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry.

22:24The fate of the world's great whale species commands global attention as a result of heated debate between pro and anti-whaling advocates, but the fate of smaller marine mammals is less understood, specifically because the deliberate and accidental catching and killing of dolphins, porpoises, manatees, and other warm-blooded aquatic species are rarely studied or monitored.

22:24A new study finds that perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), widely used in manufactured products such as non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, and fast-food packaging, were associated with lowered immune response to vaccinations in children. It is the first study to document how PFCs, which can be transferred to children prenatally (via the mother) and postnatally from exposure in the environment, can adversely affect vaccine response.

Acid reflux drug does not improve asthma in children, study finds
A randomized clinic trial found that the addition of lansoprazole does not improve asthma symptoms or the control of asthma in children and may increase the risk for upper respiratory infections and other adverse events.
