In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, we are joined by researcher and educator Darby Orcutt, who discusses an ambitious new project that is seeking to collect and analyze anomalous biological samples, in an effort that could ultimately help reveal the existence of relict hominoids like Sasquatch.  Darby Orcutt is a faculty member at North Carolina State University where he is a librarian, instructor, and researcher. He teaches and writes about science, technology and society while also building collaborative scientific teams to tackle complex problems and fostering conversation between researchers and the broader public. However, Darby is known for his work at the intersection of science and the strange. Have you found a biological specimen that seems to be unusual? Orcutt and his colleagues are currently seeking to analyze such samples (including genetically), and those who submit their samples will receive any forthcoming results. You can learn more about Orcutt's project by clicking here.  Also, if you are interested in contributing to this study of allegedly morphologically anomalous samples (which could help us to test more samples and conduct deeper analyses), a tax-deductible gift to NC State University can be made here.  Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  Chinese zoo defense of their bears being real, not people in suits Scientists claim to have revived 42,000 year old Nematodes Century-old samples reveal the brain of the Tasmanian tiger Golden tamarins, once close to extinction, rebound Matt Pruitt's Book The Phenomenal Sasquatch The Passing of Peter Byrne Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.

On this episode of "On the Shoulders of Giants- Talking Old Times with Thomas" , Julie and Thomas discuss how to have field hair samples examined to rule out known species and what science says in regards to claims of "Bigfoot DNA".   For more information on how to have your field hair sample analyzed go here:  https://www.facebook.com/cindy.dosen/?ref=br_rs Thomas is from British Columbia and has been researching the Sasquatch enigma since 1978 and is considered by many to be an "old school" investigator.  He has authored three books on the topic:  "The Sasquatch in Alberta"', 1989; “Sasquatch, Bigfoot, The Continuing Mystery", 1993; and "In search of Giants", 2000. Thomas has also co-authored two other titles: "Meet the Sasquatch", 2004 and "Sasquatch in British Columbia”, 2012. He has also written many articles and appeared on numerous television and Radio documentaries. Thomas is one of the last old school investigators who was privy to the stories and was friends with several of the “Squatchfathers”! Julie has been investigating the possibility that Sasquatch exists for the last several years and resides in her home state of North Carolina right outside of the Uwharrie Forest.  She is an active field investigator and is a member of the Carolina Cryptid Research Group.   Powered by Sasquatch Coffee, have you tried it Yet-i?  

Proof of alien life? Stinky gas is surefire evidence aliens are real, astronomers announce Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1219318/Proof-of-alien-life-stinky-gas-phosphine-evidence-aliens-real-astronomers-MIT-alien-new PROOF of alien life will come with the discovery of planets rich in an incredibly noxious and foul-smelling gas known as phosphine, astrobiologists have announced. MIT researchers have proposed in a recently published study simple organisms are responsible for the production of phosphine. On Earth, phosphine is one of the most toxic and repulsing gases known to man. Sometimes dubbed “swamp gas”, phosphine is typically found in incredibly unpleasant locations such as foul marshes and heaps of penguin dung. But on planets far outside of the solar system, alien bacteria that do not require oxygen to thrive could be churning out the gas. Clara Sousa-Silva from MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences is certain rocky exoplanets that have phosphine in their atmosphere are home to alien life. The molecular astrobiologist argued astronomers now need to consider new and bizarre scenarios if we are to find alien life one day. Dr Sousa-Silva, who led the phosphine study, said: “Here on Earth, oxygen is a really impressive sign of life. But other things besides life make oxygen too. “It's important to consider stranger molecules that might not be made as often, but if you do find them on another planet, there's only one explanation.” Methane Mystery on Mars May Get a Partial Answer Soon Link: https://www.space.com/mars-methane-mystery-partial-answer-soon.html SAN FRANCISCO — NASA's Curiosity rover may have just taken a big step toward cracking at least part of the Mars methane mystery. Curiosity's measurements show that methane levels cycle seasonally inside the Red Planet's 96-mile-wide (154 kilometers) Gale Crater, which the rover has been exploring since August 2012. The six-wheeled robot has also detected several big surges of the gas, which is a possible (though far from definitive) sign of Mars life. But here's where the mystery comes in: The view from above is very different. The European-Russian Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), which was designed to sniff out low-abundance gases such as methane, has found the Martian air to be virtually free of the stuff. Perhaps something in the Martian atmosphere destroys methane very quickly, scrubbing away most of the gas that rises above Curiosity and therefore leaving little for TGO or Mars Express to detect, said Vasavada, who's based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. But that's not the only possible explanation. "Maybe the expansion and contraction of the atmosphere every day from solar heating is responsible," he told Space.com after the roundtable. Curiosity's previous methane measurements — which the rover makes using its Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, or SAM — have been gathered at night, Vasavada said. That's not surprising, considering how busy the rover is during the day studying rocks in minute detail and/or driving across the rugged Red Planet landscape. But it means that Curiosity had sniffed only when the atmosphere was relatively dense and the methane concentrated as a result. During the day, as the atmosphere expands, the methane becomes more mixed and diffuse — perhaps diffuse enough to explain, at least in part, why the orbiters' observations are so different. "This rare experiment is a chance to get some exciting science observations, but we'll need time after the experiment to analyze the data; we don't expect to have any takeaways right away," science team member Catherine O'Connell, a planetary geologist at the University of New Brunswick in Canada, wrote in a mission update on Friday (Dec. 13).

Can SpaceX Reach Influence The Minds and Minds of The People Like The Shuttle? https://youtu.be/QQ74dGEXhYc Planet 9 may have already been found, study suggests Link: https://www.foxnews.com/science/planet-9-already-found-study Since its launch in April 2018, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has found a number of exoplanets, including a so-called "missing link" and an exoplanet with three suns. But a new study suggests the $200 million satellite may have also discovered the mysterious Planet 9. The research, published in Research Notes of the AAS, notes that TESS is able to take multiple images of the same spot in space, potentially locating trans-Neptunian objects, also known as TNOs. "What TESS is doing is staring at regions in the sky for months for at a time," the study's lead author, Harvard University astrophysicist Matt Holman, said in an interview with Fox News. "It's looking for exoplanets and you can find those by looking at the paths of the host stars." "While it's doing that, it's collecting images one at a time and it can look for objects in our solar system," Holman added. "The main thing I don't think people realized before is if you have a small telescope like TESS, you can combine images and find faint objects." According to SyFy Wire, Planet 9 could have a near-infrared magnitude between 19 and 24, making it possible that TESS may have already observed it. Holman noted that TESS has already looked at the entire southern hemisphere, making the chances "nearly 100 percent" that Planet 9 has already been observed if it's in that part of the sky. "If it's in the Northern Hemisphere, we're not there just yet," he added. The Curiosity rover detects oxygen behaving strangely on Mars Link: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/12/world/curiosity-rover-oxygen-scn/index.html Earlier this year, the rover's tunable laser spectrometer, called SAM, which stands for Sample Analysis at Mars, detected the largest amount of methane ever measured during its mission. SAM has also found that over time, oxygen behaves in a way that can't be explained by any chemical process scientists currently understand. SAM has had plenty of time -- about six years -- to sniff and analyze the atmospheric composition on Mars. The data revealed that at the surface, 95% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, followed by 2.6% molecular nitrogen, 1.9% argon, 0.16% oxygen and 0.06% carbon monoxide. Surprisingly, the oxygen actually rose by a peak increase of 30% in the spring and summer before dropping back to normal in the fall. Given the amount of time Curiosity has been monitoring the atmosphere, it was able to detect that this pattern repeated, albeit with varying amounts of oxygen. The variation suggests that the oxygen is being created by something, then taken away. "The first time we saw that, it was just mind boggling," said Sushil Atreya, study author on a new paper about the oxygen levels and professor of climate and space sciences at the University of Michigan. The study published Tuesday in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. So why is this unusually large amount of methane so interesting? On Earth, microbial life is a key source of methane. But NASA also warned that expectations of life should be managed due to the fact that interactions between rocks and water can also create methane, and Mars has water and an abundance of rocks. "With our current measurements, we have no way of telling if the methane source is biology or geology, or even ancient or modern," said SAM Principal Investigator Paul Mahaffy of NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Un equipo internacional de científicos, entre los que se encuentra nuestro invitado, Daniel Viudez Moreiras, investigador del Centro de Astrobiología (INTA – CSIC), publicó recientemente un artículo en Science que revela que la concentración de metano en la atmósfera de Marte sufre variaciones que se correlacionan con el paso de las estaciones en el Planeta Rojo. Los datos han sido recogidos por dos de los instrumentos del rover Curiosity, que desde 2012 recorre el fondo del crater Gale, una enorme cuenca de impacto de 154 kilómetros de diámetro que en tiempos remotos estuvo bajo las aguas de un gran lago. Los dos instrumentos son: TLS-SAM (Tunable Laser Spectrometer – Sample Analysis at Mars) diseñado para analizar los gases que componen la atmósfera y las rocas marcianas, entre ellos la concentración de metano y REMS (Rover Environmental Monitoring Station) desarrollado por el Centro de Astrobiología (INTA – CSIC). Os invito a escuchar a Daniel Viúdez.

The analysis of dried blood spots has been used routinely for newborn screening since the early 1970s, and the number of disorders screened has expanded substantially in recent years. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding minimum blood spot quality acceptance criteria for sample analysis.

China's Education Ministry has taken a critical step in its initiative to reform the college entrance exam system, aiming to reverse the exam-oriented education to help fuel future growth. According to the ministry, university entrance will no longer be solely determined by students' score in the Gaokao, the national college entrance exam. In addition to exam results, students will also be evaluated on their morality standards, physical health, art cultivation and social practice. For example, volunteer activities will result in merits. China resumed the Gaokao system in 1977. Since then, the exam has been called a "single-plank bridge" because of the wide gap between applicants and admissions. But in recent years, Gaokao has attracted criticism for its suffocation of students' innovative spirit. This is NEWS Plus Special English. China has approved the construction plan for a new international airport in Beijing that will enable the Chinese capital to handle 72 million more passengers each year. The project will involve investment of almost 80 billion yuan, roughly 13 billion US dollars, and take about five years to complete. The new airport will be located 46 kilometers south of Tian'anmen Square in Daxing district, and is expected to become operational in 2018. The airport is designed to handle 2 million metric tons of cargo and 620,000 passenger flights on an annual basis. It will include 150 parking aprons for passenger jets and a terminal building with a floor space of 700,000 square meters. Officials say that the new airport will serve the rising demand for air transport in Beijing, boost the balanced development of the capital city's northern and southern areas, and strengthen China's competitiveness in the civil aviation sector. A 66-kilometer rapid transit line will be built to link the city's northern areas to the new airport. Passengers will spend less than 30 minutes getting to the city center from the airport. Currently, Beijing has two airports that serve civil aviation flights. Beijing Capital International Airport, located in northeastern Beijing, served 84 million passengers last year and was one of the busiest airports in the world. This is NEWS Plus Special English. China's drug watchdog has ordered a severe crackdown on the illegal sale of cough syrup that contains codeine, a potentially addictive prescription drug. China's Food and Drug Administration and the Public Security Ministry have released a joint statement saying that pharmaceutical companies and drug retailers must be stripped of their licenses if found to have illegally sold cough syrup containing codeine, and they will be banned from future trading. In recent years, some pharmaceutical companies and drug retailers have been found to have sold the products in large quantities. The statement says that as a result, abuse of this substance is worsening, and addiction and death from abuse of codeine had caused severe social impact. The administration has vowed to cooperate with the police in "resolutely putting an end to the abuse issue", and has boosted supervision and control on manufacturing, distribution and purchase of the product.

U.S. space agency NASA says that its Mars Curiosity rover has measured a tenfold spike in methane, a potential sign of life, in the atmosphere around it and detected other organic molecules in a rock-powder sample collected by the robotic laboratory's drill. Researchers say that the temporary increase in methane, sharply up and then back down, shows there must be some relatively localized source; and there are many possible sources, biological or non-biological, such as interaction of water and rock. The researchers used Curiosity's onboard Sample Analysis at Mars laboratory a dozen times in a 20-month period to sniff methane in the atmosphere. Curiosity also detected different Martian organic chemicals in powder drilled from a rock dubbed Cumberland, the first definitive detection of organics in surface materials of Mars. NASA said these Martian organics could either have formed on Mars or been delivered to Mars by meteorites. The researchers say that Curiosity's new findings are not enough to reveal if Mars has ever harbored living microbes, but the findings do shed light on a chemically active modern Mars and on favorable conditions for life on ancient Mars.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der statistischen Modellierung und Inferenz genetischer Netzwerke. Assoziationsstrukturen und wechselseitige Einflüsse sind ein wichtiges Thema in der Systembiologie. Genexpressionsdaten weisen eine hohe Dimensionalität auf, die geringen Stichprobenumfängen gegenübersteht ("small n, large p"). Die Analyse von Interaktionsstrukturen mit Hilfe graphischer Modelle ist demnach ein schlecht gestelltes (inverses) Problem, dessen Lösung Methoden zur Regularisierung erfordert. Ich schlage neuartige Schätzfunktionen für Kovarianzstrukturen und (partielle) Korrelationen vor. Diese basieren entweder auf Resampling-Verfahren oder auf Shrinkage zur Varianzreduktion. In der letzteren Methode wird die optimale Shrinkage Intensität analytisch berechnet. Im Vergleich zur klassischen Stichprobenkovarianzmatrix besitzt speziell diese Schätzfunktion wünschenswerte Eigenschaften im Sinne von gesteigerter Effizienz und von kleinerem mittleren quadratischen Fehler. Außerdem ergeben sich stets positiv definite und gut konditionierte Parameterschätzungen. Zur Bestimmung der Netzwerktopologie wird auf das Konzept graphischer Gaußscher Modelle zurückgegriffen, mit deren Hilfe sich sowohl marginale als auch bedingte Unabhängigkeiten darstellen lassen. Es wird eine Methode zur Modellselektion vorgestellt, die auf einer multiplen Testprozedur mit Kontrolle der False Discovery Rate beruht. Dabei wird die zugrunde liegende Nullverteilung adaptiv geschätzt. Das vorgeschlagene Framework ist rechentechnisch effizient und schneidet im Vergleich mit konkurrierenden Verfahren sowohl in Simulationen als auch in der Anwendung auf molekulare Daten sehr gut ab.
