But as the US military has been gearing up for operations in Syria in response to the Assad regime's alleged use of chemical weapons,

#Unmasking organised crime networks with data Military software engineers have developed a program that can predict the social structures of street gangs.
That why police forces are keen to discover how these organisations are arranged to map the networks that link individual members.
A team at the West point Military academy in the US state of New york has released just details of a software package it has developed to aid intelligence gathering by police dealing with street gangs.
There are many reasons why this sort of information would be important to the police. The ecosystem structure of a gang can reveal how it operates.
police will often monitor the rival gang more closely because of the likelihood of retaliation. But gangs know this,
Understanding such alliances helps the police stay a step ahead. Mapping highly influential members of a social network has been done many times before for example
But if police can identify him, they can then monitor him more closely. Complex netherworld In developing Orca, Paulo Shakarian, a West point graduate and sometime adviser to the Iraqi National Police,

#Massive study closes in on cancers risk markers Cancer research has taken a huge leap forward with scientists now able to identify more than 80 genetic markers found to increase the risk of breast ovarian and prostate cancer.
which has played a significant part in making this global effort a tremendous success. The main findings of the project COGS('Collaborative Oncological Gene-Environment Study')have been published in a special issue on genetic risk factors
and those without, to assess each individual's inherited risk. Overall, the study found that common genetic variation links all these cancers.
Each alteration was seen to raise the risk of ovarian, breast or prostate cancer by a small amount,
although a small minority of men with several markers saw their risk of prostate cancer increase more than fourfold.
Results of the studies on women revealed that with certain spelling mistakes the risk of breast cancer,
In addition, the test also identified those with a smaller than average risk of developing the cancers.
'With this new information, researchers now have a clearer picture of the total number of genetic changes that can explain the risk of getting these cancers.

he still thinks it could exist.""I think if it were terribly large, we would have more consistent results from epidemiological data.
