MIAMI (UPI) — A team of 38 U.S. research divers has completed a 20-day biennial census, measuring how the protected status of the Dry Tortugas is working.

In what is called an unprecedented collaboration, researchers from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the National Park Service, the Reef Environmental Education Foundation and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington conducted more than 1,700 scientific dives in the Dry Tortugas — a small group of islands at the tip of the Florida Keys, about 70 miles west of Key West.

The dives at the Tortugas Ecological Reserve and Dry Tortugas National Park’s Research Natural Area were designed to determine how the region’s ecosystem is rebounding from decades of overfishing and environmental changes.

“We are very encouraged to see stocks have slowly begun to recuperate since the implementation of ‘no-take’ marine protected areas in the region,” said the expedition’s chief scientist, Rosenstiel Professor Jerry Ault. “We noted particular improvements in the numbers of snapper, grouper, and coral recruits.”

A full report is expected to be issued in September.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI) — U.S. medical scientists say they have developed an injectable treatment for severe brain injuries that are due to blunt force trauma.

Purdue University researchers Andrew Koob and Richard Borgens said they discovered such an injury can be reduced by application of a simple polymer –polyethylene glycol, or PEG — mixed in sterile water and injected into the blood stream.

Koob and Borgens performed experiments in rats that showed PEG was effective in limiting damage if administered within four hours after the head injury. However, if treatment was delayed for a further two hours, the beneficial effects were lost.

“These data suggest that PEG may be clinically useful to victims of traumatic brain injury if delivered as rapidly as possible after an injury,” said Borgens. “Such a treatment could feasibly be carried out at the scene of an accident where PEG could be delivered as a component of IV fluids, thus reducing long term brain injury.”

The study is reported in the Journal of Biological Engineering.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — U.S. space agency engineers said final testing has started for the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite that’s to be launched later this year.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration satellite, nicknamed LCROSS, is designed to confirm the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed lunar crater.

NASA said a thermal vacuum test completed earlier this month subjected the spacecraft to 13 1/2 days of heating and cooling cycles, with temperatures ranging from 230 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

After launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, LCROSS and its Atlas V rocket’s Centaur upper stage will execute a fly-by of the moon and enter into an elongated Earth orbit to position the satellite for impact on a lunar pole. On final approach, the spacecraft and the Centaur will separate. The Centaur will strike the surface of the moon, creating a debris plume that will rise above the surface. Four minutes later, LCROSS will fly through the debris plume, collecting and relaying data back to Earth before it also crashes onto the lunar surface and creates a second debris plume.

Scientists will observe both impacts from Earth to gather additional information.

– A Washington woman was sentenced on Wednesday to two years in prison and five years of supervised release for her role in an Internet counterfeit check scheme.

Edna Fiedler pleaded guilty in March to attempting to defraud U.S. citizens in a scheme known as a Nigerian check scam.

Fiedler helped her accomplices in Nigeria send fake checks to people who had agreed to cash the checks on behalf of the sender, keeping some of the proceeds and sending the rest back.

The Nigerians found people willing to cash the fake checks via e-mail. They would send their names as well as fake documents that looked like Wal-Mart money orders, Bank of America checks, U.S. Postal Service checks and American Express traveler’s checks to Fiedler. They told her how to fill out the checks and where to send them.

The recipients most likely thought they were helping out someone who needed a person in the U.S. to cash a check for them, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. They were able to get the money by cashing the checks, and sent most of it to either Fiedler or her Nigerian accomplices. However, once the checks were discovered to be fake, the people who cashed them were responsible for the full amount.

All told, Fiedler sent out US$609,000 worth of phony checks and money orders. When U.S. Secret Service agents investigating the case searched Fiedler’s house, they found additional fake checks worth more than $1.1 million that she was preparing to send out.

At a recent conference in Seattle, a representative from the U.S. Postal Service and Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna described ways they’re working to shut down these kinds of scams, particularly because they often involve people who don’t realize that they’re taking part in illegal activities.

The U.S. Postal Service recently sent 15 postal investigators to Lagos, Nigeria, and during a three-month period there, they helped intercept counterfeit checks, lottery tickets and eBay overpayment schemes with a face value of $2.1 billion, Chris Siouris, a cyber investigator at the U.S. Postal Inspector, said at the recent conference. Siouris, McKenna and others are pushing for ways to better educate Internet users so that people don’t unwittingly help out in these kinds of e-mail scams.
