Study of alternate bearing presents recommendations for citrus growers
Alternate bearing (also called biennial or uneven bearing) is the tendency of fruit trees to produce a heavy crop one year (called "on-crop") followed by a light crop or no crop the following "off-crop" year. view more (2009-11-03)
Microorganisms helps us to drive more oil from the oil-bearing bed
When the reservoir pressure drops the oil field dries up though there is a lot of oil. To pump out the remains one has to apply pressure by pumping into the oil-bearing bed water or gas. Other method - to apply biotechnology. The oil is contaminated with specially bred mi-croorganism strains, which produce gas, acids and surface active agents... view more... (1999-08-18)
Weight-Bearing Exercise Does Not Prevent Increased Bone Turnover During Weight Loss, MU Researchers Find
While there are many benefits of losing weight, weight reduction also might negatively affect bones in the body. During weight loss, bones are being remodeled - breaking down old bone and forming new bone - at an accelerated rate. view more (2010-03-12)
Boys more likely when pregnancy takes longer
The longer it takes to get pregnant, the more chance there is of having a boy, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-12-19)
Pecan trees benefit from thinning technique
Pecan trees, like many fruit trees, have a tendency to bear fruit in cycles, producing a large crop in one or two years, followed by one or two years with little or no crop. view more (2009-11-04)
SSTL momentum wheel aids Rosetta mission’s 9-year journey into space
Guildford, UK SSTL have delivered two flight standard momentum wheels to DLR in Germany, one of which will fly on the Rosetta spacecraft that is due to be launched in January 2003, the other as a flight spare. The Rosetta spacecraft will rendezvous with the comet "46 P/Wirtanen" on 29th November 2011 as it makes one of its periodic visits to the... view more... (2001-04-10)
Bone research that grows on you
Rapid and guided healing of bones has moved a step closer with research by two biomedical engineering students who have found new ways to deliver bone growth enhancers directly to broken or weakened bones. view more (2006-11-01)
High-dose Interferon Beta-1B On Alternate Days Could Offer Increased Clinical Benefit For People With Multiple Sclerosis (p 1453)
A study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that high-dose interferon beta-1b administered every other day is more effective than interferon beta-1a once a week for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). There are three interferon beta therapies known to be effective in reducing MS symptoms: interferon beta-1a 30 mcg administered... view more... (2002-04-24)
An Evening of Images of Science for Tomorrow's Europe
Press invitation This evening (7th November) the Musées royaux d'Arts et d'Histoires in Brussels will be the venue for a presentation of the results of the EuroPAWS competition. Guests will be able to see excerpts of the winning TV dramas from the EuroPAWS Awards and see live renditions of new script ideas for future TV dramas bearing on... view more... (2001-10-31)
Genes in rheumatoid arthritis
A paper published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine provides strong evidence that one specific part of the genome is associated with rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2007-09-18)
Evolution of symbiosis
The aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum depends on a bacterial symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola, for amino acids it can't get from plants. The aphid, in turn, provides the bacterium with energy and carbon as well as shelter inside specialized cells. view more (2007-04-10)
Making metabolism more inefficient can reduce obesity
In a discovery that counters prevailing thought, a study in mice has found that inactivating a pair of key genes involved in "fat-burning" can actually increase energy expenditure and help lower diet-induced obesity. These unusual findings, appearing this week in the JBC, might lead to some new roads in weight-loss therapy. view more (2008-10-03)
Researchers show the BEST way to reduce osteoporosis risk
Osteoporosis International, the leading clinical publication on the disease, published data from the Bone Estrogen Strength Training (BEST) Study at The University of Arizona which confirmed that a specific regimen of weight-bearing and resistance exercises, combined with calcium citrate supplement over four years, provided significant improvement... view more...

Odd energy mechanism in bacteria analyzed
Scientists at Oregon State University have successfully cultured in a laboratory a microorganism with a gene for an alternate form of photochemistry - an advance that may ultimately help shed light on the ecology of the world's oceans. view more (2005-11-04)
Study Shows Some Athletic Men May Risk Low Bone Density
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis affects more than 2 million men in the United States and nearly 12 million more have osteopenia-clinically significant low bone density that is less severe than osteoporosis. Now, a new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that men engaging predominantly in... view more... (2007-10-17)
Advance offers revolution in food safety testing
Microbiologists at Oregon State University have developed a new technology to detect illness-causing bacteria - an advance that could revolutionize the food industry, improving the actual protection to consumers while avoiding the costly waste and massive recalls of products that are suspected of bacterial contamination but are perfectly safe. view more (2008-09-26)
Earth not center of the universe, surrounded by 'dark energy': UBC cosmologists
Earth's location in the Universe is utterly unremarkable, despite recent theories that propose toppling a foundation of modern cosmology, according to a team of University of British Columbia researchers. view more (2008-12-19)
Purdue creating wireless sensors to monitor bearings in jet engines
Researchers at Purdue University, working with the U.S. Air Force, have developed tiny wireless sensors resilient enough to survive the harsh conditions inside jet engines to detect when critical bearings are close to failing and prevent breakdowns. view more (2007-10-31)
Pregnant women should not ignore breast cancer symptoms
Ultrasound provides a safe and accurate method of detecting breast cancers in pregnant women, as well as assessing response to chemotherapy. view more (2006-03-28)
Biofuels: More than just ethanol
As the United States looks to alternate fuel sources, ethanol has become one of the front runners. Farmers have begun planting corn in the hopes that its potential new use for corn will be a new income source. view more (2007-04-06)
