Study by Children's Hospital and Carnegie Mellon explains crucial deficit in children with autism
Young children with autism appear to be delayed in their ability to categorize objects and, in particular, to distinguish between living and nonliving things. view more (2006-10-12)
New reference materials support industrial zeolites
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued three new reference materials to support researchers studying the properties of commercially important zeolites. view more (2006-09-18)
Ancient raptors likely feasted on early man, study suggests
A new study suggests that prehistoric birds of prey made meals out of some of our earliest human ancestors. view more (2006-08-30)
Tigers get a business plan
The Wildlife Conservation Society has launched an ambitious new program that calls for a 50 percent increase in tiger numbers in key areas over the next decade, according to an article in this week's journal Nature. view more (2006-07-10)
Full year of treatment helps infants and children with toxoplasmosis
The first long-term study shows that treatment with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine (two anti-parasitic drugs) during the first year of life leads to a lasting reduction in brain and eye damage for children with congenital toxoplasmosis. view more (2006-05-15)
Successful cell engineering may lead to mad cow prevention, say researchers
Researchers at Texas A&M University have successfully "knocked down" the expression of possible disease-causing genes in a cloned goat fetus, perhaps paving the way for breeding disease resistance in other animals, even those genes that might cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as Mad Cow Disease. view more (2006-03-23)
'High efficiency' vacuum cleaners no better at protecting against dust mites
Researchers at the North West Lung Centre, run by The University of Manchester and based at Wythenshawe Hospital, have discovered that vacuum cleaners with 'high-efficiency particulate air' or HEPA filters are no more effective than standard models at reducing exposure to dust-mites. view more (2006-02-14)
Report lists top 20 most-vulnerable African carnivores
It may still be "king of the beasts," but the African lion's kingdom is dwindling, according to a new report released by the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) that says these emblematic big cats have disappeared from 82 percent of their historic distribution over the past several decades. view more (2006-02-02)
Scientists find stronger evidence for link between cat faeces and schizophrenia
Researchers have found stronger evidence for a link between a parasite in cat faeces and undercooked meat and an increased risk of schizophrenia. view more (2006-01-18)
Avian influenza virus in mammals spreads beyond the site of infection to other organ systems
Researchers at Erasmus Medical Center have demonstrated systemic spread of avian influenza virus in cats infected by respiratory, digestive, and cat-to-cat contact. view more (2006-01-16)
Can dogs smell cancer?
In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man's best friend, the dog, may have the capacity to contribute to the process of early cancer detection. view more (2006-01-06)
HRCT Reveals Asthmatic Risk Long After Cat Allergen Exposure
For the first time, researchers have shown that cat allergens can impair lung function in people with asthma for up to 22 hours after exposure. The study was presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2005-11-30)
Housecat-sized Siberian tiger cubs get collared
Scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and their Russian colleagues from the Russian Far East recently fitted three wild 40-day-old Siberian tiger cubs with tiny radio-collars, marking the youngest wild tigers to be tracked by scientists. view more (2005-10-26)
Ancient neutrinos could put string theory and quantum loop gravity to the test
Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales. view more (2005-10-14)
DNA traces evolution of extinct sabertooths and the American cheetah-like cat
Toward the end of the last Ice Age, around 13,000 years ago, North and South America were home to a variety of large cats such as the sabertooths (Smilodon and Homotherium) and other now-extinct species known as the American lion-like cat (Panthera atrox) and cheetah-like cat (Miracinonyx trumani). view more (2005-08-09)
More than half the US population is sensitive to one or more allergens
More than fifty percent of the U.S. population tested positive to one or more allergens, according to a large national study. view more (2005-08-05)
Size matters: Preventing large mammal extinction
Saving large mammals such as elephants and rhino from extinction could be made more effective by focusing efforts on individual species as well as their habitats. view more (2005-07-25)
Letting the spin loose
Two properties of an electron-its spin and its charge-are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. But a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has recently demonstrated conclusively that, in very... view more... (2005-07-13)
Early detection of lung cancer
This study was aimed at the detection of lung cancer in its early stages amongst high-risk persons by means of Computerised Axial Tomography (CAT). view more (2005-04-20)
The impact of its environment on a quantum computer
Scientists have discovered how the performance of a quantum computer can be affected by its surrounding environment. The study, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, will help engineers to better understand how to integrate quantum components into a standard office computer - moving us one step closer to a future of quantum... view more...
