Facial models allow "band-efficient" video communication
Is it possible to combine a three-dimensional wire model of a face with real pictures of the same face? And is it possible to get the computer that is forming the new image to follow the face even when the person in question makes sudden movements or partially covers her face with her hand? These are a couple of the research questions for the... view more... (2002-02-11)

Grouse house at the click of a mouse
Ecologists at Aberdeen University have developed a new computer tool that could help save the capercaillie from extinction in Scotland. Speaking at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Dr Keith Marshall will explain that the new computer model can be used to... view more...

Research Team Finds First Evolutionary Branching for Bilateral Animals
In the most computationally intensive phylogenetic analysis to date, an international research team led by Brown University has found the first evolutionary branching for bilateral animals. view more (2009-09-24)
Children and home computers: living up to parental aspirations?
Most parents regard supporting their children's education as a major motivator for buying a home computer. However most children are using them to play games. These are the findings of recent research, carried out by Lucinda Kerawalla and Dr Charles Crook, presented today, Thursday 28 June, at the International Conference on Communication, Problem... view more...

Global program to eliminate elephantiasis has early success in Egypt
Organizers of a 20-year global effort to eliminate a parasitic infection that is a leading cause of disability have an early victory to savor: a five-year Egyptian elimination campaign has mostly succeeded. Infection with the parasites, threadlike filarial worms, can lead to the dramatic, disfiguring swelling known as elephantiasis. view more (2006-03-24)
Earthworm activity can alter forests' carbon-carrying capabilities
Earthworms can change the chemical nature of the carbon in North American forest litter and soils, potentially affecting the amount of carbon stored in forests, according to Purdue University researchers. view more (2008-10-28)
Man winks and the computer thinks
To some extent, computers can speak and hear. But seeing is another matter, for the instantaneous interpretation of film sequences requires the processing of huge volumes of data. Visitors to CeBIT can take part in a computer game as a virtual controller. For computer fans and cineastes, "Tron" counts as the forefather of... view more... (2004-02-26)
Snoozing worms help Penn researchers explain the evolution of sleep
The roundworm C. elegans, a staple of laboratory research, may be key in unlocking one of the central biological mysteries: why we sleep. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine report in this week's advanced online edition of Nature that the round worm has a sleep-like state, joining most of the animal kingdom in... view more...

University footballers in training for World Cup
Staff in the University of Plymouth`s School of Computing and Department of Communication & Electronic Engineering (DCEE) are busy preparing to represent England in the FIRA 2002 (International Federation of Robot Soccer Associations) Robot Football World Cup, taking place in Korea next week. The University team, widely acknowledged as the... view more... (2002-05-17)
IT and The Law - What`S The Score?
A pioneering centre dedicated to tackling the new legal challenges associated with the fast-moving world of information technology will open at the University of Bristol this summer [June 1, 2002]. This is a cross-disciplinary venture building on existing strengths in the Faculties of Law and Engineering and Computer Sciences. The new Centre will... view more... (2002-03-07)
New weapons needed for the war on junk email
Today's spam filters are highly effective, but they may be no match for spammers seeking new ways to fool people into visiting commercial websites or downloading rogue software carrying viruses, worms, spyware, or other dangerous applications. view more (2006-04-28)
Road rage and computer rage may be the same
Research has shown that a key factor in road rage incidents is frustration caused by having one's goals blocked. Now a new study shows that experiences of computer rage may be related to similar factors. view more (2005-03-21)
Left-right wiring determined by neural communication in the embryonic worm
Most animals appear symmetrical at first glance, but we're full of internal lop-sidedness. From the hand used to pick up a pencil or throw a baseball, to where language is generated in the brain, to the orientation of our internal organs, humans are a glut of asymmetries. view more (2007-05-18)
Researchers call for better public health campaigns to control and eliminate river blindness
River blindness is a disease transmitted by biting flies, affecting areas such as West Africa, Nigeria, Congo, the Central African Republic and Central and South America, and causing significant health problems for at least 18 million people. view more (2005-10-12)
Super-computer reaches for the stars
Scientists at the University of York have been awarded a £234,000 grant for a powerful computer, called Beowulf, that will help them model large and fundamental happenings in the universe - from the evolution of the stars to the way in which DNA works. They will be using the grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council... view more... (2002-02-05)
Can Computers Argue?
The answer is yes, and not only that: they can also evaluate what will be the most successful strategy for conflict resolution, including re-formulating their action, or evading confrontation. Argument is used by computer agents only as the last resort. The effectiveness of argumentation-based negotiation (ABN) for computer agents operating in... view more... (2004-07-05)
Controlling parasite burdens in wild red grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticus through the indirect application of anthelmintic
In an article published today in issue 6 of the Journal of Applied Ecology, Dave Newborn of The Game Conservancy Trust explains the practical implications of a four-year heather moorland experiment that aimed to reduce the impact of parasitic worms on wild red grouse populations. view more (2002-11-26)
18th Century Reverend Enlightens Evolutionary Biologists
Evolutionary biologists are often interested in reconstructing how different genes evolved from each other. Large numbers of genes can now be sequenced quickly but the development of statistical methods has lagged behind. To analyse even moderately large data sets under realistic evolutionary models, researchers have been forced to use... view more... (2001-12-20)
Scientists step closer to new treatments for River Blindness
Veterinary scientists in Liverpool have found that some African cattle have natural immunity to a parasite, similar to that which causes River Blindness in humans. view more (2006-04-14)
