The Risk Of Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse
There has been much speculation that global warming may cause sea levels to rise due to the melting of ice sheets. For the first time scientists have worked out the likelihood of Antarctic ice sheet collapse using engineering risk-analysis techniques. They conclude that there is a 5% chance of major sea level rise (up to 1 metre) in the next... view more... (2001-12-28)
Destruction of fruit bats` habitat could spread disease
New agricultural developments are destroying the habitats of protected fruit bat species in Australia, and could lead to the spread of deadly viral diseases to humans and farm animals, medical experts heard today (Friday 11 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for... view more...

Higher risk of death in heart attack victims with no chest pain
An absence of chest pain during a heart attack increases the risk of death, shows research in Heart. Previous research shows that chest pain is not typical of a heart attack in around one in four patients. The study focused on 3684 admissions to 20 adjacent hospitals in Yorkshire for suspected heart attack for three months in 1995. In 2100 cases a... view more... (2001-10-12)
One in four patients has been drinking before arrival at accident and emergency
One in four patients has been drinking before arrival at accident and emergency, reveals a study in Emergency Medicine Journal. Alcohol was implicated in almost all cases of self-harm, almost half of collapses, half of all assaults, and half of admissions to hospital, the findings show. A survey was carried out of all new attenders aged 10 and... view more... (2001-06-29)
New insight in star formation
Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular cloud. Thanks to their unprecedented high-resolution maps of the circumstellar environment of many young stellar objects, astronomers... view more... (2001-01-16)
Two bees or not two bees? Researchers take first look at the genetic differences between queen and worker honeybees
For the first time scientists have been able to examine the genetic processes that decide whether a juvenile bee is destined for life as a worker or as a queen. By stringing together a series of images that describe which genes are active, researchers at the Bee Research Laboratory and the University of Arizona have been able to picture exactly... view more...

Secrets of a Dark Cloud
SOFI (Son OF ISAAC) is a scaled-down copy of ISAAC, the major VLT instrument that has already produced spectacular observations. SOFI is a unique instrument for the study of extended objects like "Barnard 68 (B68)" because of its very sensitive infrared detector and unrivalled large field-of-view. view more (1999-07-02)
Key to snoring and sleep disordered breathing may lie in neck muscle bulk
The reason why men tend to snore more and suffer more sleep disordered breathing (apnoea) than women, may lie in their neck muscles, finds research in Thorax. view more (1999-03-19)
