LIVERMORE, Calif. -- An international collaboration including researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has discovered that the Earth's core formed under more oxidizing condition's than previously proposed.
Through of series of laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments at high pressure (350,000 to 700,000 atmospheres of pressure) and temperatures (5,120 to 7,460 degrees Fahrenheit), the team demonstrated that the depletion of siderophile (also known as "iron loving") elements can be produced by core formation under more oxidizing conditions than earlier predictions.
"We found that planet accretion (growth) under oxidizing conditions is similar to those of the most common meteorites," said LLNL geophysicist Rick Ryerson.
The research appears in the Jan. 10 edition of Science Express.
While scientists know that the Earth accreted from some mixture of meteoritic material, there is no simple way to quantify precisely the proportions of these various materials. The new research defines how various materials may have been distributed and transported in the early solar system.
As core formation and accretion are closely linked, constraining the process of core formation allows researchers to place limits on the range of materials that formed our planet, and determine whether the composition of those materials changed with time. (Was accretion heterogeneous or homogeneous?)
"A model in which a relatively oxidized Earth is progressively reduced by oxygen transfer to the core-forming metal is capable of reconciling both the need for light elements in the core and the concentration of siderophile elements in the silicate mantle, and suggests that oxygen is an important constituent in the core," Ryerson said.
The experiments demonstrated that a slight reduction of such siderphile elements as vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) and moderate depletion of nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) can be produced during core formation, allowing for oxygen to play a more prominent role.
Planetary core formation is one of the final stages of the dust-to-meteorite-to-planet formation continuum. Meteorites are the raw materials for planetary formation and core formation is a process that leads to chemical differentiation of the planet. But meteorite formation and core formation are very different processes, driven by different heat sources and occurring in very different pressure and temperature ranges.
"Our ability to match the siderophile element signature under more oxidizing conditions allows us to accrete the Earth from more common, oxidized meteoritic materials, such as carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites," Ryerson said.
The earth's magnetic field is generated in the core, and protects the Earth from the solar wind and associated erosion of the atmosphere. While the inner core of the Earth is solid, the outer core is still liquid. The ability to preserve a liquid outer core and the associated magnetic field are dependent on the composition of the core and the concentration of light elements that may reduce the melting temperature.
"By characterizing the chemical interactions that accompany separation of core-forming melts from the silicate magma ocean, we can hope to provide additional constraints on the nature of light elements in the present-day core and its melting/freezing behavior," Ryerson said.

If you?re launching a new product online, it is important to plan out each step of the process along the way so that you don?t miss any important aspects. For example, if you?re launching an information product your plans should have started during the research phase before you even created the product. Otherwise, how do you know what your audience even wants or needs?
Study your target audience. Understand their needs, desires, hopes and fears. Create a product that addresses at least one of those, if not all four. Don?t create the product then search for an audience. Create the product for a specific audience according to their needs. Your job is to solve a problem for your target audience.
Once you understand your audience and have created the product, you need to determine how you will market and launch the product. This is something that can be done simultaneous to product creation. Choose your launch date before you?ve even created the product but after you?ve identified what product you will create and have the steps identified that need to be done to finish the product. This will encourage you to get on with it and actually finish the product. If you do not have due dates, you won?t ever do it.
Research the market to see if there are competitors delivering the same type of product that you are to the same audience. Determine how your product is different and why it is more beneficial than the competitions. Remember to always focus on benefits over features. People want to know what?s in it for them, they don?t really care about what?s in it for you or how great you think you are.
Determine what type of marketing you will do. Will you have a webinar? Will you incorporate blogging, article marketing, affiliate marketing? Whichever of these components you want to use, start planning them now. If you have contractors make each leader responsible for their area. For instance, if you have an affiliate manager, she can come up with marketing collateral for your affiliates and she can get the affiliates excited about marketing your new product.
Start giving hints about the product in email newsletters, blogs, and podcast interviews. Offer sneak peeks as you get more and more of the product finished. Ask for feedback from trusted colleges, family and friends. In this way you?ll be able to perfect the product as you?re preparing for launch day. From the feedback you can develop a list of questions and answers in order to create a FAQ. That is a list of frequently asked questions which you can use to help buyers.
Create a time-line based on the launch date, working backwards towards today, outsourcing and delegating tasks to others where appropriate. Follow up regularly with contractors to ensure a smooth launch. Create return policies, and ensure that you and any contractors such as virtual assistants who handle customer service understand the new product prior to launch date so that if questions arise, you?ll be ready and can send them to your already created FAQ.
By creating a plan from idea to creation to launch, you?ll be sure to not only create products that your clients love, and want more of, but also have a successful launch each and every time.

Technicolor unveils Qeo, a revolutionary software bridging ecosystems to interconnect devices and applications of all brands
Consumer device manufacturers, developers and service providers can now use a common "language" to offer a truly interoperable Connected Life
Paris (France), Las Vegas (NV), January 7, 2013 - Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH), a worldwide technology leader in the media and entertainment sector, today announced the release of Qeo, a software framework that allows for seamless interoperability between devices and applications of all brands and ecosystems.
Today, users want to enjoy their favorite applications and services on all devices, but the proliferation of disparate ecosystems creates a complex and fragmented experience. Qeo software modules address this problem by making devices, applications and over-the-top cloud solutions speak to one another to deliver simpler and richer smart home, entertainment, communication and personal media services. The result is a truly Connected Life - a simple, user-friendly experience that allows consumers to effectively manage and utilize the full potential of their devices and services.
Michel Rahier, President of Technicolor's Connected Home Division, said: "During the lastyears, we've built a solid understanding of the issues created by heterogeneous and closed ecosystems that fragment the user experience. This is why we have developed Qeo: a technology that enables devices to speak the same language, be interconnected with each other, and create totally new use cases for the Connected Life and the ?Internet of things?. We are excited to have received strong support from major operators and industry leaders for this initiative that we commit to keep pushing forward as the new standard for Connected Life".
Qeo benefits both end users and developers, while answering consumer electronics manufacturers and service providers' needs:
For end users:
Want to remotely manage heterogeneous alarm, automation, and video surveillance systems via one comprehensive interface? Need your doorbell to send a notification to your TV or mobile screen when someone is at the door? Want to switch a video call a friend started on your main TV to your tablet? Qeo makes such use cases easy to develop and deploy, and enables the potential of many more of these innovative digital life scenarios.
For developers:
With Qeo, creating cross-devices and cross-OS applications has never been so easy and straightforward. Developers can build distributed applications without having to care about the diversity of languages, OS, or environments. It's all about giving free rein to developers' imaginations.
For services providers:
Qeo comes with tools to monitor and manage all Qeo-enabled devices, keeping operational costs under control. It provides views, from global home networks down to individual customers, devices or applications, enabling all sorts of personalization.
For consumer electronics manufacturers:
Qeo allows more than just content sharing. With Qeo, devices can exchange usage data, information, status... in a simple way to provide better and seamless usage scenarios for their users. Devices are also immediately recognized within the home network and configured with easy set up.
Qeo capabilities will be demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show on Technicolor's booth (Central Hall, booth #8531).

American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
ROSEMONT, Ill.Female athletes are three times more likely to suffer from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures, one of the most common knee injuries, compared to male athletes. The ACL is one of the four main ligaments within the knee that connect the femur (upper leg bone) to the tibia (lower leg bone). Recent research highlights the unique anatomical differences in the female knee that may contribute to higher injury rates, and should be taken into consideration during reconstructive surgery and sports training, according to a review article in the January 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS).
"As female athletes have increased their participation in sports, many studies have shown the vulnerability of female athletes to ACL ruptures," said Karen Sutton, MD, assistant professor, Yale University Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, and lead author of the review article. "This devastating injury has a long recovery period and a slow return to sport. Thus, research has been done focusing on why women are more vulnerable to ACL injuries and how to prevent them."
Multiple, recent research studies also have found that preseason and ongoing neuromuscular training programs as part of an overall sports training program aimed specifically at improving knee stability when jumping, landing or pivoting can significantly decrease ACL injury risk among girls and women.
Unique anatomical features of female athletes such as a larger quadriceps angle ("Q angle")the angle at which the femur meets the tibiamay cause a greater pull of the knee muscles during physical activity, and contribute to more ACL injuries among females.
Anatomical differences in the female knee should be taken into consideration during ACL reconstruction, said Dr. Sutton. Females are more likely than males to have a smaller, A-shaped intercondylar notch (the deep groove between the rounded ends of the femur bone), making ACL reconstruction more challenging, and possibly requiring altered surgical techniques.
"All female athletes, starting in adolescence, should learn appropriate training techniques," said Dr. Sutton. "This includes the appropriate way to land from a jump, increasing the strength of muscles that could have a protective affect on the ACLcore, gluteal, quadriceps and hamstring muscles, as well as working on the body's reaction to change of direction and change of speed."

Dreaming of turning your HDTV into a George Jetson-style phone booth? If so, California-based electronics firm Biscotti might have what you're looking for. Earlier today the company announced its new XS TV camera, which connects to any modern HDTV via HDMI. Available in March for $300, the set-top receiver features two dual band antennas for WiFi support, as well as an Ethernet port for those who prefer a hardline network connection. Biscotti's new rig also ships with a full QWERTY remote control keyboard, a universal TV mount and a multiport power adapter with international power blades.
On the software side of things, the XS allows users to record and save video calls / messages via its MyBiscotti cloud services. In addition, the receiver plays nice with Google Talk's video chat, so calls between TVs, tablets and smartphones are a go. However, if you'd like to continue making calls while wearing your leopard-print Snuggie -- worry not! The XS also makes old-fashioned voice calls as well.

Jan. 7, 2013 ? An international team of scientists has described a fossil marine predator measuring 8.6 meters in length (about 28 feet) recovered from the Nevada desert in 2010 as representing the first top predator in marine food chains feeding on prey similar to its own size.
A paper with their description will appear the week of Jan. 7, 2013 in the early electronic issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Scientists who studied the fossil include lead author Dr. Nadia Fr?bisch and Prof. J?rg Fr?bisch (both at Museum f?r Naturkunde Leibniz-Institut f?r Evolutions- und Biodiversit?tsforschung), Prof. P. Martin Sander (Steinmann Institute of Geology, Mineralogy, and Paleontology, Division of Paleontology, University of Bonn), Prof. Lars Schmitz (W. M. Keck Science Department, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges, Claremont, California) and Dr. Olivier Rieppel (The Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois).
The 244-million-year-old fossil, named Thalattoarchon saurophagis (lizard-eating sovereign of the sea) is an early representative of the ichthyosaurs, a group of marine reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs and roamed the oceans for 160 million years. It had a massive skull and jaws armed with large teeth with cutting edges used to seize and slice through other marine reptiles in the Triassic seas. Because it was a meta-predator, capable of feeding on animals with bodies similar in size to its own, Thalattoarchon was comparable to modern orca whales.
Remarkably, only eight million years prior to the appearance of Thalattoarchon, a severe extinction at the end of the Permian period killed as many as 80 to 96 percent of species in the Earth's oceans. The rise of a predator such as Thalattoarchon documents the fast recovery and evolution of a modern ecosystem structure after the extinction.
"Everyday we learn more about the biodiversity of our planet including living and fossil species and their ecosystems" Dr. Fr?bisch said. "The new find characterizes the establishment of a new and more advanced level of ecosystem structure. Findings like Thalattoarchon help us to understand the dynamics of our evolving planet and ultimately the impact humans have on today's environment."
"This discovery is a good example of how we study the past in order to illuminate the future," said Dr. Rieppel of The Field Museum.
The ichthyosaur was recovered from what is today a remote mountain range in central Nevada. Most of the animal was preserved, including the skull (except the front of the snout), parts of the fins, and the complete vertebral column up to the tip of the tail. Supported by a grant from the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration, the team of paleontologists took three weeks to unearth the ichthyosaur and prepare it for its transport by helicopter and truck out of the field.
