Online Makeover is fan-taaz-tic http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_video/play.sfe?id=8&listID=7 2009-02-11T15:42:54-08:00 2008-11-24T10:07:49-08:00 dbkane@soe.ucsd.edu Daniel Kane Thanks to a UC San Diego startup company, the cosmetics counter isn't the only place to try out the latest makeup trends. The new way is easier, faster, and much more private. Anyone with a digital photograph can now apply more than 4,000 makeup products with the click of a mouse.

UC San Diego Engineers Help Make Buildings Earthquake Safe http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_video/play.sfe?id=7&listID=7 2009-03-17T08:33:34-08:00 2008-10-24T14:10:26-08:00 dbkane@soe.ucsd.edu Daniel Kane Engineering researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Arizona have concluded three months of rigorous earthquake simulation tests on a half-scale three-story structure, and will now begin sifting through their results so they can be used in the future designs of buildings across the nation. The engineers produced a series of earthquake jolts as powerful as magnitude 8.0 on a structure resembling a parking garage. Copyright 2009, Regents of the University of California.

New Yeast Trick for Eating Favorite Food http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_video/play.sfe?id=6&listID=7 2009-03-23T08:07:03-08:00 2008-10-24T14:05:33-08:00 dbkane@soe.ucsd.edu Daniel Kane Yeast, the ingredient found in breads and beers, prefer to eat some sugars more than others. Glucose, their favorite food, provides more energy than any other sugar, and yeast has evolved a complex genetic network to ensure that they consume as much glucose as possible whenever it is available. UC San Diego bioengineers have recently identified a previously unknown mechanism that allows yeast to shut down the metabolism of another sugar, galactose, when they sense glucose in the environment.
