Computers controlled by the Human Eye
Soon computers and many other household devices will guess the owner`s will by a slightly seen gesture or a frowned brow. This confidence has appeared for good reason: such programs have already being developed. In particular, scientists from the Research Institute of Experimental Physics in Sarov have made their own version. The principles on... view more... (2001-12-25)

Novel computer model for blood flow could help doctors predict arterial disease
A unique computer model of how blood flows in human arteries has been developed by researchers in the UK. The model could help doctors understand the stresses that blood places on the walls of vessels and provide new insights into vascular disease. The work has been carried out by Dr Yun Xu together with Dr Simon Thom and Professor Alun Hughes at... view more... (2000-10-19)

Pandemic passenger screening
Four major US national laboratories have worked together to develop a computer model to help airport authorities screen passengers for pandemic influenza.   view more (2009-05-20)

Watermarks for 3D models
Film producers, industrial and furniture designers and last but not least makers of computer games all work with 3D models. The risk of unlawful reproduction and distribution of the data is increasing. "More and more of these animated graphics, which are costly to produce, can simply be retrieved from the Internet," says Michael Arnold... view more... (2003-03-10)

Executable biology -- Computer science sheds light on animal development
By applying the techniques of computer engineering to a mechanistic diagram describing the development of the Nematode C. elegans, a group of researchers in Switzerland has been able to tease out what laboratory experiments have not - how and when the crucial cross-talk between cellular signaling pathways takes place in order to determine the... view more...

Computers explain why pears may become brown during commercial storage
Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.   view more (2008-03-10)

Comprehensive model is first to map protein folding at atomic level
Scientists at Harvard University have developed a computer model that, for the first time, can fully map and predict how small proteins fold into three-dimensional, biologically active shapes.   view more (2006-11-07)

Computer Modeling Reveals Hidden Conversations Within Cells
UCSD biochemists have developed a computer program that helps explain a long-standing mystery: how the same proteins can play different roles in a wide range of cellular processes, including those leading to immune responses and cancer.   view more (2005-09-16)

Simulating cardiac arrest enables targeted treatment
Treating a victim of cardiac arrest demands a rapid response. A new computer simulation of the heart is enabling physicists to help doctors make the best clinical decisions.   view more (2002-01-17)

MIT: Extending the shelf life of antibody drugs
A new computer model developed at MIT can help solve a problem that has plagued drug companies trying to develop promising new treatments made of antibodies: Such drugs have a relatively short shelf life because they tend to clump together, rendering them ineffective.   view more (2009-06-30)

Argonne National Laboratory plays key role in new climate simulations
The Model Coupling Toolkit created by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory played a key role in the climate simulations used in preparing the new U.N. report "Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis."   view more (2007-02-16)

Forecasting the Next Great San Francisco Earthquake
The San Francisco Bay region has a 25 percent chance of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake in the next 20 years, and a roughly 1 percent chance of such an earthquake each year, according to the "Virtual California" computer simulation.   view more (2005-10-14)

Implementing Computer Assisted Learning into the Chemistry Curriculum
The idea of using a computer as a pedagogic device is not new. However, until recently, hardware and software costs put computer assisted learning (CAL) out of the reach of many academics. In addition, early courseware paid little attention to human-computer interface issues, resulting in CAL which was difficult to use and understand. There are... view more... (1999-05-17)

NASA diagnoses Tropical Storm Gert's growth spurt
Scientists want to know how a tropical cyclone develops from a weak tropical depression into a tropical storm. To answer that question, NASA and other scientists flew over and through storms in 2005 and obtained and combined data that let them see the storm in four dimensions.   view more (2006-12-12)

Jupiter's massive winds likely generated from deep inside its interior, scientists report
A new computer model indicates Jupiter's massive winds are generated from deep within the giant planet's interior, a UCLA scientist and international colleagues report today in the journal Nature.   view more (2005-11-14)

New observations and climate model data confirm recent warming of the tropical atmosphere
For the first time, new climate observations and computer models provide a consistent picture of recent warming of the tropical atmosphere.   view more (2005-08-12)

Sporty Sperm: A Stiff One Gets the Job Done More Quickly
A scientist who studies the phsyics of sperm "as a hobby" is challenging the current understanding of how sperm swim towards an egg. At the Society for Experimental Biology conference today Dr Christopher Lowe will present the results of his modelling of a sperm`s tail, suggesting we may need to re-think our assumptions of how sperm move through... view more...

Designing vaccines by computer
Having vaccines developed by computer may sound unnerving but the increasing role of computer modelling in the development of new vaccines could bring new products onto the market quicker, benefiting patients and saving pharmaceutical companies millions of pounds.   view more (2005-04-08)

Landfills, chemical weapon debris possibly a good match, computer model suggests
Putting building debris contaminated by chemical weapons into municipal landfills likely would pose only a minimal risk to nearby communities and the surrounding environment, according to a study scheduled for publication in the July 1 issue of the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science & Technology.   view more (2006-06-28)
