Mysterious Substance Dark Matter in Focus at Texas A&M Workshop
Currently encompassing the high-stakes global hunt.
"We only understand 4 percent of the universe right now," said Dutta, interim director of Mitchell Institute. "Once we know this 23 percent that is dark matter, we're hoping it may give us a lead into understanding the remaining 73 percent, which is dark energy. Once we understand it all, then we'll know the past, present and future of the universe."
Such a discovery could be impactful beyond a basic understanding of the universe, Dutta notes.
"When quantum mechanics was discovered, no one knew that one day, you'd use the microwave at home to heat up your food," Dutta said. "No one can predict during those moments of discovery where this will eventually lead. Once we start knowing this stuff, there will be spinoffs."
Dark matter -- named such because it is an unknown that does not interact with light -- can't be seen directly by telescopes and doesn't emit or absorb light at any significant level. It‘s not like any "normal" matter such as stars, planets or any living or nonliving material on Earth. It's not even a black hole.
Lupton's Nutrition Work Brings Recognition To Texas A&M, But ...
When Americans go to the grocery store, they think more and more about the nutritional value of the food they buy, thanks to scientists and health policymakers such as Dr. Joanne R. Lupton . During nearly 27 years of research and teaching, Lupton has brought national recognition to Texas A&M University . She has improved nutrition for astronauts in space and bolstered efforts to prevent colon cancer. Now she focuses on moving nutrition science and education into the arenas of public policy, improved food labeling and healthy diets.
“My real passion is taking basic science and translating it into understandable terms that can make a difference through public policy....
Security Dogs - Texas A&M Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical ...
Since their domestication thousands of years ago, dogs have been used to protect the home and the workplace, giving owners a sense of security against intruders. The most common dogs used for protection are larger breeds like Dobermans, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Chows, and Pit Bulls.
"But pet owners should be careful when using a dog solely for protection," says Dr. Alice Blue-McLendon, Clinical Assistant Professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
"When dogs are trained to protect the home, they are using their natural territorial instinct and can attack anyone unfamiliar to them, which may include a friendly visitor," says Blue-McLendon.
Dogs used for protection can also be unreliable depending on their own unique personality.
Some dogs are naturally aggressive and may attack any animals or humans that violate their territory. Guard dogs are often trained to be aggressive toward people and may view anyone outside the family as a potential threat. This may present a constant danger since owners can never be completely sure that their pet will not someday view a family member or friend as a threat.
