A biological technique could save up to 2 million euros at sewage treatment plants
A new method for treating the smell of rotten eggs emitted by sewage plants, developed in conjunction by a researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's Engineering School (ETSE) and a researcher from the University of California, could lead to worldwide savings of two million euros a year. The researchers have discovered a simple... view more... (2003-07-15)
New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation

Snomipede races to solve the mysteries of life
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the Universities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow has been awarded a £3m research grant to develop a new nanotechnology tool which they have called the 'Snomipede'. The team, led by Professor Graham Leggett at the University of Sheffield, hopes that once developed, the Snomipede... view more... (2005-02-15)
Towards Intelligent Assistants
DFG Priority Programme, Design and Design Methodology of Embedded Systems, submits final report Be it telephones, navigation systems, video games, or printers - it is the electronics that increasingly decide the success of a product. Electronic devices should be able to communicate with one another and be small and inexpensive. Intelligent... view more... (2004-06-08)
Osteoarthritis may be sign of faster 'biological ageing'
Osteoarthritis, the degenerative inflammatory bone disease, may be a sign of faster "biological ageing," suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2006-10-02)
Good fences make good neighbors
In the last century, more than 100 million people have perished in violent conflict, very often because of local clashes between ethnically or culturally distinct groups. In a novel study this week in Science, researchers report on a mathematical model that can predict where ethnic conflict will erupt. view more (2007-09-14)
Plastic-Protein Hybrids
Functional membrane proteins in a block copolymer matrix Biological membranes form a fluid matrix, in which proteins "swim". Many of these membrane proteins are of interest for both pharmacological and biotechnological applications - for example, they are under consideration as biosensors for the rapid screening of pharmaceutical agents.... view more...

BRAIN RESEARCH REVEALS STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES IN VIOLENT OFFENDERS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS
New brain imaging data has revealed structural differences in the brains of violent offenders with mental disorders, bringing research closer to finding a biological basis for violent behaviour in the mentally ill. Preliminary findings were reported by researchers from London's Institute of Psychiatry at the International Congress on Schizophrenia... view more... (1999-04-19)
European Microbiologists to discuss Bioterrorism at the 1 st FEMS Congress in Slovenia
Whatever the outcome of the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or elsewhere the use of biological agents as weapons of terrorist war will be an ever-present threat in the future. "Dealing with the threat from bioterrorism" is the title of one of the discussions to be held at the 1st FEMS Congress of European Microbiologists... view more... (2003-05-21)
Interoperable electronic tolling for Europe's roads
Imagine driving from Sweden to Spain and never having to stop to pay a toll. That scenario could soon become a reality thanks in part to the work of PISTA, which has validated a new European standard for interoperable electronic fee collection (EFC) systems. view more (2004-11-02)
Mars Explorers Wanted - No Experience Necessary
The University of Kent's Electronics Department is offering school pupils an opportunity to learn about robotics and the design of intelligent systems in a three-day residential summer school to be held from 2-4 August. Walking with Robots will bring together 80 young people on the Canterbury campus to meet and learn from leaders of the robotics... view more... (2003-05-13)
Nanomedicine: Grounds for optimism and a call for papers (p 673)
Issue 30 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 29 August 2003. 'Nanomedicine is a discipline whose time has come', states this week's editorial. Nanoscience and the implications for medicine has recently been the focus of the US National Institutes of Health who have highlighted three key areas for the future of nanomedicine: structures... view more...

Gene duplication allowed pigs to have more babies
With increasing numbers of whole genomes being sequenced, researchers are keen to analyse the functions of the genes they contain and the proteins these genes encode. Yet, according to researchers writing in BMC Biology, to fully understand any genome, researchers must use palaeontology, geology and chemistry to help them discover the reasons why... view more...

Automatic Transport Systems Need Different Approach
The way in which automatic transport systems are currently designed, is out of date. That is one of the conclusions of PhD student Corné Versteegt, who will defend his thesis on 15 December at TU Delft. This is important information for the transport sector, which will become more automated in the future. view more (2004-12-15)
Echoes of phlogiston in stem cell biology
Before it was learned that matter burns by taking up oxygen, most chemists sought to explain combustion as the release of a mysterious substance, which they named "phlogiston". view more (2009-09-22)
Magnetorheological fluids set to revolutionise dynamic vehicle suspension systems

CAUTION IS NEEDED IN COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIPS IN CARE MANAGEMENT
Thomas Bodenheimer, Clinical Professor at the Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of California at San Francisco, School of Medicine argues that commercial disease management programmes may take needed money away from actual caregiving in order to enhance companies? profits. Both the American and British papers conclude that... view more... (2000-02-22)
EU supports companies in saving electricity
Companies could lower their electricity costs for Motor Driven Systems by up to 30 per cent. Many of the measures necessary to do so are profitable in less than three years. This has been shown by studies of the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe. The EU Commission now wishes to support interested companies in... view more...

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features tissue culture methods for immune cells and neurons
The complexity of vital organ systems makes them difficult to study in living organisms. Tissue culture methods for specific cell types allow researchers to break these systems down into component parts that can be readily manipulated and observed. view more (2008-12-03)
