23:42In the United States, where blacks bear a disproportionate burden of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, black religious institutions could help turn the tide. In a new study based on dozens of interviews and focus groups with 38 of Philadelphia's most influential black religious leaders, physicians and public health researchers find that traditional barriers to preaching about HIV prevention could give way to faith-friendly messages about getting tested and staying on treatment.

Biologists produce potential malarial vaccine from algae
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have succeeded in engineering algae to produce potential candidates for a vaccine that would prevent transmission of the parasite that causes malaria, an achievement that could pave the way for the development of an inexpensive way to protect billions of people from one of the world's most prevalent and debilitating diseases. Initial proof-of-principle experiments suggest that such a vaccine could prevent malaria transmission. -

Google Upgrades Search with Knowledge Graph
On the heels of major revisions to Microsoft's Bing search engine, Google is revamping its own. On Wednesday, the tech giant announced the launch of its Knowledge Graph, which is intended to help users quickly and easily discover new information.In a posting on the Google Official Blog, Senior Vice President of Engineering Amit Singhal wrote that, instead of primarily focusing on matching keywords to queries, the enhancement enables the search engine to use an intelligent model that "understands real-world entities and their relationships to one another: things, not strings."
'Critical First Step' Singhal said the Knowledge Graph "knows about" a variety of things, people, and places, such as landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, geographical features, movies, celestial objects, works of art, and other subjects. The Graph's current inventory of knowledge, he said, is only the "critical first step" toward creating the next generation of search, which understands the world in ways closer to how people do.
The Graph is more than just calling up data in Wikipedia, the CIA World Factbook, and other supplies of knowledge. It's been populated with more than 500 million knowledge objects, with more than 3.5 billion facts about the relationships between those objects.
The first step in this new kind of search, Google said, is understanding the differences in meaning for a given query. For instance, is the search for "Taj Mahal" about the monument or the musician? The Graph will give choices.
Next, the Graph provides summaries containing key facts that a user might want about a particular subject. The example given by Singhal is Marie Curie. The Graph will deliver birth and death dates, as well as information on her education and scientific discoveries. There's also knowledge about her relationship with other entities, such as her Nobel-prize-winning relatives.
