A precision measurement of the mass of the top quark:

Article Abstract:

The mass of the top quark, reflect some of the most crucial aspects of standard model (SM). A technique that extracts more information from each top quark event and yields a greatly improved precision when compared to previous measurements is described. As a result, the most likely Higgs mass increases from the experimentally excluded value of 96 to 117 GeV/C(super 2), which is beyond current experimental sensitivity.

Postprandial cardiac hypertrophy in pythons

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the nature of cardiac hypertrophy in pythons following feeding and ventricles from three groups of Burmese pythons were obtained. It was concluded that the newly synthesized protein results from the increased transcription of the gene encoding cardiac myosin heavy chains and that cardiac hypertrophy follows from de novo addition of contractile elements.

Taste alteration and endoparasites

Article Abstract:

A demonstration in two species of caterpillar reveals that infection by lethal parasites alters the taste of specific phytochemicals for the larvae. Grammia geneura and Estigmene acrea from the field are collected to test how the response of their gustatory cells to these plant compounds to quantify the gustatory-cell responses and determine whether they are linked to parasitism.
