Biophysical method may help to recover hearing
Scientists based in Switzerland and South Africa have created a biophysical methodology that may help to overcome hearing deficits, and potentially remedy even substantial hearing loss. The authors propose a method of retuning functioning regions of the ear to recognize frequencies originally associated with damaged areas. Details are published... view more... (2008-08-29)
Population movement can be critical factor in dengue's spread
Human movement is a key factor of dengue virus inflow in Rio de Janeiro, according to results from researchers based at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) in Brazil. view more (2009-11-10)
Geographer designs computer model to predict crowd behavior
Patterns of human behavior and movement in crowded cities - the tipping point at which agitated crowds become anti-social mobs, the configuration of civic areas as defensible spaces that also promote free speech, the design of retail space that fosters active walking - are at the core of an immersive 3-D computational model under development by an... view more...

Overactive nerves in head and neck may account for 'ringing in the ears'
Do your ears ring after a loud concert" Nerves that sense touch in your face and neck may be behind the racket in your brain, University of Michigan researchers say. view more (2008-01-11)
Simulation in a virtual combat environment puts surgical skills to the test
Traditional medical training may not adequately prepare doctors in times of war. A unique study by human factors/ergonomics researchers in Norfolk, Virginia, concluded that virtual reality-based simulators can provide a safe venue for training military medical personnel in high-stress, high-workload conditions such as combat. view more (2006-10-17)
Large size crucial for Amazon forest reserves
An international research team has discovered that the size of Amazon forest reserves is yet more important than previously thought. view more (2007-01-12)
Argonne scientists reveal interaction between supersonic fuel spray and its shock wave
Shock waves are a well tested phenomenon on a large scale, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and their collaborators from Wayne State University and Cornell University have made a breakthrough that reveals the interaction between shockwaves created by high-pressure supersonic fuel jets. view more (2009-03-13)
Compost can turn agricultural soils into a carbon sink, thus protecting against climate change
Applying organic fertilizers, such as those resulting from composting, to agricultural land could increase the amount of carbon stored in these soils and contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2008-02-25)
'NO JUSTIFICATION' FOR ROUTINE HEART-BEAT TEST AT START OF LABOUR (pp 445, 465)
Issue 8 February 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 7 February 2003 A routine test which has been used over the past two decades to electronically monitor the heart-beat of a baby at the start of labour is probably no better than intermittent monitoring with a stethoscope, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET.... view more...

New INNOGEN Centre Will Help Shape Future Science And Technology Policy
Experts in science, technology, economics and law will explore the impacts of genomics on society, and of society on genomics and related industry sectors, at a new centre set up at the University of Edinburgh. The centre, INNOGEN, funded by a major award of £2m, will act as a 'melting pot' for knowledge and information, as specialists... view more... (2002-11-13)
Different coat color may not mean different species for lemurs
Researchers have found that lemurs suspected to belong to different species because of their strikingly different coat colors, are not only genetically alike, but belong to the same species. view more (2006-11-16)
Symbiotic fungi promote invasion into diverse plant communities (Rudgers et al.)
The biodiversity of a community can affect its functional properties, such as its productiveness or its ability to resist invasion by exotic species. Many grass species host fungi in their leaves that can render them more resistant to herbivory, drought, and competition. In a forthcoming issue of Ecology Letters, Rudgers, Koslow and Clay... view more... (2003-12-10)
Improving impaired attention may help patients recover from stroke
It may be possible to improve impaired attention after stroke - which could aid recovery - according to research reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-07-24)
Novel living system recreates predator-prey interaction
The hunter-versus-hunted phenomenon exemplified by a pack of lionesses chasing down a lonely gazelle has been recreated in a Petri dish with lowly bacteria. view more (2008-04-14)
Scientists show that streams are critical to preservation of oceanic coastal zones
The plight of the world's oceans is dire, according to recent studies, through insults from human-derived activities depopulating and damaging reefs, altering coastlines, and creating pollutants, such as nitrogen runoff from terrestrial watersheds. view more (2008-03-13)

Unemployment always comes home
High unemployment rates have become one of the major economic concerns of most developed governments in the world. The automation of production processes, the relocation of Western companies in developing countries and the international crisis are giving rise to permanent high unemployment levels that seem immune to any economic policy measure... view more...

What Goes On Underneath Your Feet?
It is generally assumed that heat from Earth's core and mantle, due to the low thermal conductivity of the latter, is transferred to the outer part mainly by convection. This implies swirling movement of an immense amount of hot material, which is behind the dynamics of Earth's interior. Understanding the details of this is of great interest since... view more...

Feeling your words: Hearing with your face
The movement of facial skin and muscles around the mouth plays an important role not only in the way the sounds of speech are made, but also in the way they are heard according to a study by scientists at Haskins Laboratories, a Yale-affiliated research laboratory. view more (2009-01-26)
Laboring without the labor bed: It's a good thing
A University of Toronto pilot study that re-conceptualized the hospital labour room by removing the standard, clinical bed and adding relaxation-promoting equipment had a 28 per cent drop in infusions of artificial oxytocin, a powerful drug used to advance slow labours. view more (2009-07-07)
