Over the past few decades, scientists have suggested that high levels of HDL—which has come to be known as "good cholesterol"—can reduce the risk of heart attack. New evidence, however, suggests that might not be the case after all. More »

Scratches

Scratches in laminate floors can often be filled in with a little bit of wood putty that is similar in color to the floor. Use a putty knife to fill in the cracks, and then clean the area with a dry cloth to remove any residue. You should put some type of seal over the wood putty to protect the repair; clear nail polish can be an excellent solution if the scratch on your laminate floors is small.

Another option is to check with the manufacturer to find out if they sell scratch repair pencils. This pencil is made of a waxy substance that is color matched to your specific floor. You ?color? over the area in your laminate flooring that has the scratch and small bits of the pencil fill in the scratch. Consider purchasing one of these pencils if available when purchasing your laminate floors to take care of any scratches as they appear.

Splinters

If a splinter has dislodged from your laminate flooring, save it to repair your floors. Begin by cleaning the hole left from the splinter as well as the splinter itself with a 1 to 4 white vinegar and water solution. Use an old toothbrush to apply the solution, working it into the cracks and continuing to clean the area until all grime around the splinter is removed. Allow both the splinter and the laminate floors to dry.

With both pieces dry and clean, apply a small amount of wood glue to the hole in your laminate flooring left by the splinter. A cotton swab or small paintbrush is an excellent tool for the job. Then carefully push the splinter into place. Remove any glue that has seeped out with a damp cloth.

To make sure that the splinter dries in place, put a sheet of wax paper over the completed repair. Then stack several books over the wax paper and leave them there for at least eight hours.

Holes

Holes in laminate flooring created by dropping objects or even splintering that was not quickly repaired is an easy fix. Begin by contacting your manufacturer to find out if they sell a laminate flooring filler that is color matched for your floors. Most manufacturers sell a small tube that will fill in and conceal any small dents in the floor, based on the flooring that you have installed. If the manufacturer does not sell a color matched filler, go to a home improvement store and buy the filler that best matches your floor.

When you have gotten the filler, follow the manufacturer?s instructions to use it on your laminate flooring. Most require that you use a small putty knife and force as much filler into the hole in your laminate floors as possible. Then you should allow it to dry and lightly sand just the area containing the patch. Wood putty can also be used instead of a filler, but should be sealed after and carefully matched to the floors.

Most laminate flooring damage can easily be fixed by using one of these methods. The only exception is if the damage is extensive, and over large areas of flooring. In these cases, it is best to replace the affected area with new laminate flooring. For this job, consider calling a professional or at least the manufacturer of your laminate floors for suggestions.

ScienceDaily (May 17, 2012) ? How species diversity is maintained is a fundamental question in biology. In a new study, a team of Indiana University biologists has shown for the first time that diversity is influenced on a spatial scale of unparalleled scope, in part, by how well tree seedlings survive under their own parents.

Data from over 3 million trees in the eastern half of the U.S. were aggregated into two-degree-latitude-by-longitude cells in order to study regional patterns of conspecific negative density dependence, a process where the mortality of a species rises in coincidence with its increasing abundance.

Scientists have long considered conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), a process where the mortality of a species rises in coincidence with its increasing abundance, to be a key mechanism maintaining diversity at the local scale. In new research to be published May 17 in the journal Science, the IU researchers show that this mechanism is driving diversity from the boreal forests to sub-tropical forests.

The report, "Conspecific negative density dependence and forest diversity," is authored by Daniel Johnson, a doctoral student in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Biology. Co-authors are Wesley T. Beaulieu, also a doctoral student in the Department of Biology, and biology professors James D. Bever and Keith Clay, Johnson's major advisor.

Their work analyzed data on forest composition from over 200,000 plots containing more than 1.3 million trees and from paired plots containing over 1.7 million seedlings of 151 different tree species. The plots were located from the Canadian border south to Florida and from the Atlantic coast to the 100th meridian and covered over 1.5 million square miles. The U.S. Forest Service spends about $62 million each year to gather the publicly available forest inventory data used in the IU study.

"We are now able to provide robust evidence that CNDD is pervasive in forest communities from boreal to sub-tropical regions and that it can significantly affect the relative abundance and richness of species with and between forests," Johnson said. "And we now see that the ability to which one tree species can sustain itself in the same area has profound impacts on the diversity of species at a spatial scale that has not been attainable previously. This is the first time it's been shown to be happening not just at a local spatial scale but over the entire eastern US."

The concept of CNDD is based on the well-known Janzen-Connell hypothesis, which proposes that the close proximity of adults reduces seedling survival of that species through increased attack by host-specific pests and pathogens.

Studies of CNDD in the past have mostly focused on forest communities at single sites or of a single species, with the most recent work showing that in tree species, composition and abundance can be influenced by CNDD at the scale of individual trees.

"Local interactions have previously been considered to affect species diversity at a local scale, but our findings indicate that local interactions feed back to species richness and abundance over much larger geographical scale, spanning most of eastern North America," Johnson said.

Evidence that local interactions underlie regional species richness is in contrast to the current understanding that patterns of forest diversity are primarily driven by temperature, precipitation and other physical aspects of the environment. This discovery has implications for how forest modeling is conducted and conservation and management decisions are made.

While earnings calls are rarely the veritable dial-in party, sometimes they do toss up a juicy gambit or disappointing revelation. While NVIDIA was dishing out projections for Q1 2013, it pretty much quashed any hopes of seeing an in-house LTE Tegra chip in 2012. While we were assured that Tegra 3 LTE phones would come this year -- based on those partnerships announced back in February -- it was also stated that the thoroughbred Tegra LTE chip wouldn't be a reality until 2013. So, this pretty much ties in with what we had heard, but this time, from the horse's mouth.
