(Rice University) Houston-based Rice University and Cape Town, South Africa-based Shuttleworth Foundation today announced plans to jointly develop one of the world's largest, most comprehensive sets of free online teaching materials for primary and secondary school children. Using their open-education projects -- Rice's Connexions and the Shuttleworth's Siyavula -- the organizations will work to transform South African primary and secondary education with a bold initiative based on open-access educational content, open-source software and online educator communities.

| • | Surface Water Suitability for Drinking Purpose in Cholistan Desert |
| The desert dwellers in Cholistan desert use surface water collected in natural depressions or dugout ponds `Tobas` since the groundwater is brackish and not fit for human consumption especially for drinking purpose. The present study was conducted in cholistan desert to evaluate the quality of rainwater harvested in low lying areas or dugout ponds the only source of drinking water for humans as well as their livestock. Water samples were collected from 10 tobas of lesser Cholistan since most of the tobas were dried up due to the drought conditions. These samples were analyzed to quantify different parameters i.e. pH, HT, TDS, Alkalinity, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Zn, Cd, Cr, Cu, Sr, Ni, Pb, Co, Cl, PO4, SO4, CO3--, HCO3- and NO3 relating the water quality. The results showed that most of the parameters were found within the WHO recommended levels determining the suitability of this water for drinking purpose. However, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) concentration was found high indicating undesirable presence of organic matter. Higher concentration of Sr was found demanding future detailed study of drinking water in Cholistan. | |

| • | Does codon bias have an evolutionary origin? |
| Background: There is a 3-fold redundancy in the Genetic Code; most amino acids are encoded by more than one codon. These synonymous codons are not used equally; there is a Codon Usage Bias (CUB). This article will provide novel information about the origin and evolution of this bias. Results: Codon Usage Bias (CUB, defined here as deviation from equal usage of synonymous codons) was studied in 113 species. The average CUB was 29.3 ± 1.1% (S.E.M, n = 113) of the theoretical maximum and declined progressively with evolution and increasing genome complexity. A Pan-Genomic Codon Usage Frequency (CUF) Table was constructed to describe genome-wide relationships among codons. Significant correlations were found between the number of synonymous codons and (i) the frequency of the respective amino acids (ii) the size of CUB. Numerous, statistically highly significant, internal correlations were found among codons and the nucleic acids they comprise. These strong correlations made it possible to predict missing synonymous codons (wobble bases) reliably from the remaining codons or codon residues. Conclusion: The results put the concept of "codon bias" into a novel perspective. The internal connectivity of codons indicates that all synonymous codons might be integrated parts of the Genetic Code with equal importance in maintaining its functional integrity. | |
