MIT applies engineering approach to studying biological pathways
An MIT team has used an engineering approach to show that complex biological systems can be studied with simple models developed by measuring what goes into and out of the system. view more (2008-02-07)
The theory of the chaos against the corrosion
In the modern science the word "chaos" is used for the description of systems, behaviour of which seems quite random. However, mathematical modeling methods aid to find an inner order in they. A deterministic chaos theory that allows predictions of physicochemical and even biological processes was developed for the description of complex systems. view more (1999-08-24)
Psychological effects of biological and chemical weapons may be worse than physical symptoms
The long term psychological implications of a chemical or biological terrorist attack may be more damaging than any acute physical effects, according to researchers from the UK and USA in this week's BMJ. Professor Simon Wessely and colleagues argue that the main purpose of these weapons is to wreak destruction via psychological means - by... view more... (2001-10-17)
Cornell Research is Key - New Company Promises to Detoxify Pollutants with Plant Biologicals
A company formed as a spin-off from research conducted at Cornell University, the University of Surrey and the University of Naples, Italy, will provide biological systems that detoxify heavily contaminated soil and water. "Our goal is to develop biological products with broad capabilities for the detoxification of polluted soils or sediments... view more... (2003-04-30)
More recycling on the farm could reduce environmental problems
Growing environmental problems resulting from farming argue for a shift toward practices that use lower inputs of pesticides and energy and more recycling of energy and materials. view more (2007-05-01)
Catalyst mystery unlocked
Different keys are not supposed to fit the same lock, but in biological systems multiple versions of a catalyst all make a reaction go, according to a new study that explains the phenomenon. view more (2008-08-19)
New £6m biocentre to revolutionise the production of safer medicines
The University of Manchester has been awarded £6m to open a new biocentre which will revolutionise the way future medicines are produced - making them safer and more effective. view more (2005-03-14)
New evidence on the robustness of metabolic networks
Biological systems are constantly evolving in ways that increase their fitness for survival amidst environmental fluctuations and internal errors. view more (2008-09-05)
Measuring the immeasurable: New study links heat transfer, bond strength of materials
The speed at which heat moves between two materials touching each other is a potent indicator of how strongly they are bonded to each other, according to a new study by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. view more (2009-04-14)
Role of protein in immune response may aid HIV research
A family of proteins that serve as the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections may provide a lifeline for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest. view more (2006-07-31)
Caltech scientists help launch the first standard graphical notation for biology
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and their colleagues in 30 laboratories worldwide have released a new set of standards for graphically representing biological information-the biology equivalent of the circuit diagram in electronics. view more (2009-08-12)
UU Research Pushing Back the Frontiers of Space
Cutting edge research at the University of Ulster into how to make complex computers and communications systems manage themselves could power the next generation of US space probes, it was revealed today. view more (2004-12-01)
Study questions assumptions about human sensitivity to biological motion
Humans may not be any more sensitive in detecting biological motion compared with nonbiological motion, concludes a study recently published in Journal of Vision, an online, free-access publication of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). view more (2007-10-18)
Invasive species on the march: variable rates of spread set current limits to predictability
Whether for introduced muskrats in Europe or oak trees in the United Kingdom, zebra mussels in United States lakes or agricultural pests around the world, scientists have tried to find new ways of controlling invasive species by learning how these animals and plants take over in new environs. view more (2009-09-18)
Can Organic Cropping Systems be as Profitable as Conventional Systems?
Which is a better strategy, specializing in one crop or diversified cropping? Is conventional cropping more profitable than organic farming? Is it less risky? view more (2009-04-07)
New Proteome Research Centre Opens in Dublin
The official launch of the Conway Institute Proteome Research Centre will take place on June 3rd and 4th 2004. The opening symposium to mark the occasion has attracted scientific luminaries from the world of protein research. The new challenge in biomedical science since the completion of the human genome has been to discover the function of... view more... (2004-06-01)
Prevention is better than cure
The Institute of Biology is calling on the International Community to strengthen the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention. In a statement to be presented to the Fifth Review Conference of the Parties to the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention (BTWC), the Institute warns that the current genomics revolution may be misused unless a... view more...

Are Organic Crops as Productive as Conventional?
Can organic cropping systems be as productive as conventional systems? The answer is an unqualified, "Yes" for alfalfa or wheat and a qualified "Yes most of the time" for corn and soybeans according to research reported by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and agricultural consulting firm AGSTAT in the... view more...
