Pam, a once powerful Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale is now an extra-tropical storm moving past northern New Zealand. NASA's Aqua satellite and the ISS-RapidScat instrument provided a look at the storm's structure and wind speed.
On March 15 at 02:05 UTC, the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of Tropical Cyclone Pam off northern New Zealand as it was becoming an extra-tropical cyclone. The image showed strong thunderstorms around the center of circulation and east of the center. Cloud in Pam's southern quadrant had reached northern New Zealand at that time.
The RapidScat instrument aboard the International Space Station (ISS) measures surface winds. When the ISS passed over Pam on March 15 RapidScat gathered data on surface winds that showed the strongest winds stretched from the northeast to the south of the center near 35 m/s (78 mph/126 kph). On March 16, after Pam made its transition to an extra-tropical storm, RapidScat gathered surface wind data on the storm from 2:20 to 3:45 UTC (March 15 from 8:20 to 11:45 p.m. EDT). RapidScat measured maximum sustained winds near 25 meters per second /56 mph/90 kph, west and south of the center.
The New Zealand Meteorological Service (NZMS) issued a bulletin on Extra-tropical storm Pam on March 16 at 25:35 local time. The bulletin included a Severe Weather Watch for Wellington that is valid through 8:35 p.m. local time on Tuesday, March 17.
The NZMS noted that Cyclone Pam was moving to the southeast but southerly gales for the east and south of the north island will be slow to subside.
Cyclone Pam was about 400 km east of Gisborne and moving to the southeast away from New Zealand and towards the Chatham Islands. NZMS noted "The heavy rain, severe southerly gales and extremely large seas that affected eastern parts of the North Island will continue to ease Monday night and Tuesday morning. However, a warning remains in force for heavy rain about the ranges of Hawkes Bay until early Tuesday morning. Also, in exposed parts of the east and south of the North Island, south to southwest gales continue Monday night and much of Tuesday."
The watch in place calls for the possibility of gale-force southerly winds in Wellington and dangerous coastal conditions through Tuesday. Heavy ocean swells and very large waves are forecast to continue to affecting the coast from East Cape to Cape Palliser Monday night (local time), and should gradually ease during Tuesday, according to NZMS.

NASA sees Extra-Tropical Storm Pam moving away from New Zealand
Since the early 20th century, astronomers have relied on the same technique to detect asteroids -- they take images of a section in the sky and look for star-like objects that move between frames. However, with an increase in sensitivity of ground-based telescopes, it has become increasingly difficult for astronomers to sift through the massive pile of data and verify every single detection.
In order to increase the frequency of asteroid detection, including of those bodies that could be potential threats to our planet, NASA has released a new software, developed in collaboration with Planetary Resources, Inc., capable of running on any standard PC. The software, which can be downloaded for free, will accept images from a telescope and run an algorithm on them to determine celestial bodies that are moving in a manner consistent with an asteroid.
Amateur astronomers and asteroid hunters can also take images from their own telescopes and analyze them with the software. The application will tell the user whether a matching asteroid record exists and offer a way to report new findings to the Minor Planet Center, which then confirms and archives new discoveries, NASA said in a statement released Sunday.
The new algorithm, which increases the chances of asteroid detection in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter by 15 percent, was created as part of NASAs Asteroid Data Hunter challenge. The work is also of special interest to Planetary Resources, which hopes to mine asteroids for water and precious metals in the near future.
The Asteroid Data Hunter challenge has been successful beyond our hopes, creating something that makes a tangible difference to asteroid hunting astronomers and highlights the possibility for more people to play a role in protecting our planet, Jason Kessler, program executive for NASAs Asteroid Grand Challengesaid in the statement. The grand challenge,sponsored by the NASA Tournament Lab, was announced in 2013 with an aim to find all asteroid threats to human populations.

From Fantastic Voyage to Star Trek'sSeven of Nine, the use of nanotechnology inside the human body has long been explored in science fiction. However, WIRED Health speaker Sonia Trigueros is working to make nanotechnology in healthcare a science fact.
Imagine a world without chemotherapy. Where cancer treatment consists of a pill that selectively targets and kills cancer cells without damaging healthy ones. She believes that world is within our reach, perhaps 20 years away.
Trigueros is co-director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Nanotechnology at the University of Oxford; she will speak at WIRED Health in the session A Nanoscale Approach to Cancer.
The purpose of her work -- using DNA molecules wrapped around single-walled carbon nanotubes -- is to create a highly efficient drug delivery system for use in the battlegrounds of cancer and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This use of nanoparticles in medicine could totally transform healthcare.
A molecular biologist, Trigueros works as part of an interdisciplinary team that includes chemists, physicists and engineers, all working towards creating new healthcare treatments through the use of nanotechnology.
"You are reading and learning from all the different methodologies," Trigueros says. "So you cannot stop learning." After eight years in the physics department she has had to learn a lot in order to speak the same scientific language as her colleagues.
But for Trigueros it's not just about collaboration. "It's about placing yourself out of your comfort zone," she says. "You have to be outside of your knowledge. You're collaborating with people but you have to know about their discipline. Because if not, it's going to be impossible."
Why? Because, she says, nanotechnology is a game-changer: "It is changing the way that we see science because it's impossible to do it in one discipline only."
When most people think about nanotechnology they think about making things smaller. However, for Trigueros that is not the most relevant aspect. She says the most relevant aspect is that when we use nanotechnology to make something smaller, the material changes and develops different properties: something light becomes heavier; metallics behave completely differently.
"What we have here is a new area of research," she says, "with completely new properties. And we only know about 10 percent of them. As soon as we know the basic properties of the materials the applications are millions. It's a new science."

AUDIO:Arrays of gold, pillar-supported bowtie nanoantennas can be used to record distinct musical notes, in this case, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. " view more

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated the first-ever recording of optically encoded audio onto a non-magnetic plasmonic nanostructure, opening the door to multiple uses in informational processing and archival storage.
"The chip's dimensions are roughly equivalent to the thickness of human hair," explained Kimani Toussaint, an associate professor of mechanical science and engineering, who led the research.
Specifically, the photographic film property exhibited by an array of novel gold, pillar-supported bowtie nanoantennas (pBNAs)--previously discovered by Toussaint's group--was exploited to store sound and audio files. Compared with the conventional magnetic film for analog data storage, the storage capacity of pBNAs is around 5,600 times larger, indicating a vast array of potential storage uses.
To demonstrate its abilities to store sound and audio files, the researchers created a musical keyboard or "nano piano," using the available notes to play the short song, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
"Data storage is one interesting area to think about," Toussaint said. "For example, one can consider applying this type of nanotechnology to enhancing the niche, but still important, analog technology used in the area of archival storage such as using microfiche. In addition, our work holds potential for on-chip, plasmonic-based information processing."
The researchers demonstrated that the pBNAs could be used to store sound information either as a temporally varying intensity waveform or a frequency varying intensity waveform. Eight basic musical notes, including middle C, D, and E, were stored on a pBNA chip and then retrieved and played back in a desired order to make a tune.
"A characteristic property of plasmonics is the spectrum," said Hao Chen, a former postdoctoral researcher in Toussaint's PROBE laboratory and the first author of the paper, "Plasmon-Assisted Audio Recording," appearing in the Nature Publishing Group's Scientific Reports. "Originating from a plasmon-induced thermal effect, well-controlled nanoscale morphological changes allow as much as a 100-nm spectral shift from the nanoantennas. By employing this spectral degree-of-freedom as an amplitude coordinate, the storage capacity can be improved. Moreover, although our audio recording focused on analog data storage, in principle it is still possible to transform to digital data storage by having each bowtie serve as a unit bit 1 or 0. By modifying the size of the bowtie, it's feasible to further improve the storage capacity."
The team previously demonstrated that pBNAs experience reduced thermal conduction in comparison to standard bowtie nanoantennas and can easily get hot when irradiated by low-powered laser light. Each bowtie antenna is approximately 250 nm across in dimensions, with each supported on 500-nm tall silicon dioxide posts. A consequence of this is that optical illumination results in subtle melting of the gold, and thus a change in the overall optical response. This shows up as a difference in contrast under white-light illumination.

European Union researchers, who were involved in project GECCO have for the first time created a '3D nano-LED' for white light, will see their work continued under the cooperation with Germany's Epitaxy Competence Center - ec.
Page 1 of 1
Following the end of the funded GECCO project which investigated 3D GaN for high efficiency solid state lighting applications ec, which was opened by Osram Opto Semiconductors and Germany's Institute of Semiconductor Technology, Technical University of Braunschweig, will extend the development work for industry.
The ec has been established as a two million euro joint venture between the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture, Braunschweig University of Technology and Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH. The Center's main focus is on GaN technology, which underpins potential applications in optoelectronics, LED and laser technologies as well as power electronics and sensors.
All of these technologies are essential building blocks for the automotive industry, the field of mechanical engineering, as well as medical and other application areas.
ec, which was formed as a Gallium Nitride Research Center to increase the importance of the gallium nitride technology (GaN) in Germany, is focusing on stimulating the evolution of epitaxy production methods in Germany while also providing the infrastructure for nano-analysis and processing techniques. The ec builds a bridge between basic research at universities on the one hand and product-oriented research and development in the industry on the other.
GaN-based white LED technology are being designed into car headlights as as as LED lamps and streetlighting.
"GaN-based white LED technology will continue to gain market share," said Aldo Kamper, CEO of Osram Opto Semiconductors, in his speech at the opening ceremony. At the same time efficient processes are always asked: "Technological development towards even greater performance and lower cost of production has to go faster. This only works if industry and academia work together closely; in research projects or with ec as a center of excellence. In addition, the employees of such centers combine enormous expertise and form a pool of talent in the field of semiconductor technology".
"In the future we plan to expand epitaxy further and further develop the infrastructure for nano-analysis and systematic processing," explained Dr.-Ing. Snke Fndling, head of ec, further plans for the center of excellence.

Cells have two different programs to safeguard them from getting out of control and developing cancer. One of them is senescence (biological aging). It puts cancer cells into a permanent sleep so they no longer divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. Now the research group led by Professor Walter Birchmeier (Max Delbrck Center for Molecular Medicine, MDC, Berlin-Buch) has discovered that an enzyme known to be active in breast cancer and leukemia blocks this protection program and boosts tumor growth. They succeeded in blocking this enzyme in mice with breast cancer, thus reactivating senescence and stopping tumor growth (EMBO-Journal, DOI 10.15252/embj.201489004)*.
The enzyme Shp2 belongs to a group of enzymes called tyrosine phosphatases. These enzymes are major cell growth regulators. Shp2, for example, plays an essential role in early embryogenesis and is also known to play a role in cancer. Some years ago researchers showed that Shp2 is upregulated in 70 percent of invasive breast cancers. These forms of breast cancer are particularly aggressive. Recent studies with human breast cancer cell lines have also shown that Shp2 mediates survival signals in cancer cells.
Reason enough for MDC cancer researcher Professor Birchmeier, who for years has been studying signaling in cancer, to further investigate this enzyme with his research team colleagues Dr. Linxiang Lan and Dr. Jane Holland. Also, current evidence shows that senescence may play an inhibitory role in breast cancer.
The MDC researchers therefore studied mice which carried the breast cancer gene PyMT. This oncogene rapidly initiates breast cancer, which also metastasizes. The researchers noted that the enzyme Shp2 is very active in these mice. They were able to show that Shp2 initiates a signaling cascade. Within this cascade Shp2 turns on different signaling molecules, but turns off the tumor suppressor genes p27 und p53. As a result, the senescence protection program is also shut off.
The question of interest was whether or not senescence can be turned on again. Is it possible to target Shp2 directly and shut it off? Using a small molecule, researchers of the biotech company Experimental Pharmacology and Oncology (EPO), based on the Berlin-Buch campus as is the MDC, were able to shut down the Shp2 gene in the mice with breast cancer. In this way they were able to reactivate the senescence program and stop the growth of the breast cancer cells. The small molecule was developed by the Leibniz-Institut fr molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) in Berlin-Buch. However, it is still an experimental drug and has not been licensed for use in human patients.
The next step was to find out which role Shp2 and its target genes play in human patients with breast cancer. Dr. Balzs Gyrffy of Semmelweiss University in Budapest, Hungary, a longtime collaborator of Professor Birchmeier, looked at the retrospective data of almost 4,000 patients. After analyzing the data, he and his collaborators in Berlin are convinced that the activity of Shp2 and its target genes can predict the outcome of breast cancer: The less active Shp2 is, the higher the chance for the affected women to stay relapse-free after having undergone a successful breast cancer therapy.
"Our data suggest that senescence induction by inhibiting Shp2 or controlling its targets may be useful in therapeutic approaches to breast cancer," the researchers conclude. Cancer cells in the senescence mode secrete messenger molecules of the immune system (cytokines), enabling the body's defense system to identify these sleeping cancer cells and destroy them.

Microsoft is experimenting with peer-to-peer distribution for Windows 10 updates, potentially making the download process less agonizing.
According to The Vergeand Ars Technica,the latest leaked build of Windows 10 adds a Choose how you download updates section to the settings menu. This section has a toggle for downloading apps and updates from multiple sources to get them more quickly. Users can then choose to get apps and updates from other PCs on a local network, and from other computers on the Internet.
While the leak doesnt mention peer-to-peer technology specifically, The Verge notes that Microsoft acquired Pando Networks, a maker of P2P file sharing technology, in 2013. Its possible that this technology is playing a role in the new Windows 10 features.
If Microsoft goes ahead with this feature, itll likely have to provide some assurances on the security front, as peer-to-peer updates would be a disaster if attackers were somehow able to taint Windows updates. Users may also want to know what kind of responsibilities theyd shoulder on the upload side, in terms of how often theyd be seeding updates and drawing system resources.
Microsoft has gone nearly two months without delivering a new preview build for Windows 10, though the company may soon speed up the cycle for users who dont mind extra bugs. Between peer-to-peer updates and the first release of the Project Spartan web browser, the next build is shaping up to be a big one.
Why this matters: If youve ever tried to install a major Windows update on launch day, youve likely experienced the pain of sluggish downloads and server timeouts. A peer-to-peer system would solve that problem by taking a load off Microsofts servers, provided the company can make sure its software stays secure along the way.
