That's because unlike nitrogen or oxygen, carbon dioxide molecules absorb the Sun's heat rays
even though they let light rays pass through, like a greenhouse. Scientists are looking at ways to modulate the global temperature by removing some of this greenhouse gas from the air.
As shark populations were diminished by overfishing, the number of rays increased, which in turn reduced the level of sea scallops, an important fishery.

If changes in the magnetic field which occur independently of the earth's climate can be linked to changes in precipitation then it can only be explained through the magnetic field's blocking of the cosmetic rays he said.
Scientists say that cosmic rays from outer space play a far greater role in changing the Earth's climate than global warming experts previously thought.

We wanted to see the effect of the bitter melon extract treatment on different types of cancer using different model systems said Ray who first tested the extract in breast and prostate cancer cells.
In a controlled lab setting Ray found that bitter melon extract regulated several pathways that helped reduce the head and neck cancer cell growth in the animal model.
After a period of four weeks Ray found that the growth and volume of the tumor had reduced.
Ray who is originally from India often uses bitter melon in her meals. People in Asia use this vegetable in stir fries salads
Although more research is needed Ray believes the bitter melon extract may enhance the current treatment option.
but a combination of things--existing drug therapy along with bitter melon--may help the efficacy of the overall cancer treatment Ray said.

Ray's initial research found that treatment with this natural substance halted the breast and prostate cancer cell growth eventually stopping them from spreading.

Our three compounds which we tested rigorously in the lab do not dissolve plastics Ray said.
Using novel chemical informatics strategies Ray's lab screened half a million compounds against the DEET receptor to identify substitutes.
All three compounds activated the same antennal cells in flies as DEET Ray said. What's really encouraging is that some of these compounds may be affordable to produce in large quantities.
With the help of UC Riverside's Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) Ray is exploring options for commercializing the technology.
We think there is incredible potential for a start-up company to develop new repellents based on Dr. Ray's current research said Michael Pazzani the vice chancellor for research and economic development at UCR.
When commercialized the findings by Ray's team could have wide applications. Ir40a and its related proteins are conserved not only in flies
and plant pests Ray explained. Our findings could lead to a new generation of cheap affordable repellents that could protect humans animals and in the future our crops as well.
The three natural compounds identified by Ray's group that mimic DEET are methyl NN-dimethyl anthranilate ethyl anthranilate and butyl anthranilate.

#A case study of manta rays and lagoonsdouglas Mccauley a new assistant professor in UC Santa barbara's Department of Ecology Evolution and Marine Biology does fieldwork in one of the most isolated places in the world--Palmyra Atoll.
and his colleagues chose to study the ecology of Manta alfredi. Manta rays are classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature
and are present at this site in surprisingly large numbers. The researchers'findings appear in the journal Marine Biology.
There is very little known scientifically about manta rays said Mccauley. If we want to understand what habitats are important to them
Manta rays are a highly mobile species that can travel across many different parts of the ocean.
Mccauley's team decided to focus on how mantas use Palmyra's lagoons. Lagoons are known to be ecologically important to a variety of mobile species including manta rays sharks turtles and dolphins.
We used high-resolution animal tracking tools to describe in as much detail as we could the ecology of the mantas
and their connection to this particular marine habitat Mccauley explained. Using a novel combination of research tools the scientists examined how the manta rays use lagoons
what particular habitat microfeatures are important and what drivers make the fish come and go from Palmyra's lagoons.
Palmyra's lagoons and the mantas that use them are protected. However lagoons elsewhere have been compromised. Fishing boat traffic and habitat degradation all may negatively affect mantas in less remote lagoons.
The big question Mccauley and his team wanted to answer is why manta rays congregate in this particular habitat.
It turns out it was at least partially because of the food. The researchers used stable isotope analysis a chemical assay of a tissue biopsy that provides an integrative view of what the animal ate in previous months.
They matched the chemical signature of the mantas to that of zooplankton collected in the lagoons verifying that this habitat serves as an important feeding ground.
Using mathematical modeling we determined that many of the manta rays we encountered took around 80 percent of their energy from lagoon plankton Mccauley said.
and energy to manta rays highlights the need to motivate management interventions in lagoons. Other tools in the researchers'arsenal were high-resolution tracking
which provided information about how the manta rays used the lagoon habitat over long and short periods of time;
whether the manta rays were staying in this habitat for longer time periods by tracking their comings and goings.
Because we were trying to produce a more complete picture of manta ray ecology we had to use a toolkit that pulled out different fleeting pictures
which tells us more accurately what the manta rays are doing Mccauley said. In trying to produce science that is meaningful and useful for managers Mccauley
Additional detailed information about how manta rays use ocean areas outside of lagoons will also be needed to better manage this at-risk species. Story Source:
