Study recommends strategies for distributing flu vaccine during shortage
When faced with potential vaccine shortages during a flu outbreak, public health officials can turn to a new study by mathematical biologists at The University of Texas at Austin to learn how to best distribute the vaccine. view more (2006-10-04)
University of Cincinnati researchers create all-electric spintronics
A multidisciplinary team of UC researchers is the first to find an innovative and novel way to control an electron's spin orientation using purely electrical means. view more (2009-10-28)
Modelling disease spread in a novel host: rabies in the European badger Meles meles
A recently published article in the December issue of Journal of Applied Ecology deals with the potential spread of classical (fox) rabies if it were to get into the badger population in Britain. Smith and Wilkinson's paper, and its findings, are not relevant to bat rabies, as bat rabies has only been recorded in terrestrial animals on three... view more... (2002-12-04)
Good housekeeping: why do shelter-dwelling caterpillars fling their frass?
Caterpillars of the silver-spotted skipper butterfly ballistically eject their individual fecal pellets (frass) as far as 40 body lengths away from their resting places in leaf shelters. Why do these and many other shelter-dwelling caterpillars go to such great lengths to distance themselves from their waste? In a paper to appear in the April... view more... (2003-04-08)
Videos extract mechanical properties of liquid-gel interfaces
Blood coursing through vessels, lubricated cartilage sliding against joints, ink jets splashing on paper-living and nonliving things abound with fluids meeting solids. view more (2008-01-24)
Help for Bioscientists to Access EU Research Funding
Bioscientists can now take advantage of new simple and easy 'on-line' access to help and information about the research and development funding available through the EU's Framework Programme. New pages launched on the FP6UK website provide useful information for those bioscientists in both industry and academia who want to learn more about the... view more... (2004-05-18)
Research News From BBSRC
* New approach to selective killing of tumour cells A new protein-based system offers a potential strategy for molecular cancer therapy without the need for viral or DNA vectors. It uses natural peptides, capable of transporting material through membranes, and a viral protein that induces cancer cells to kill themselves. Page 7 Contact: Dr Mahvash... view more... (2004-04-02)
European researchers based in the US want more contact with Europe
EU researchers based in the US have given an outstanding "yes" to the creation of a network for them and about them. Following a survey of researchers from EU countries working in the US, carried out by the European Commission, over 90% of the 2000 respondents said that they wanted closer research links with Europe. The European... view more... (2005-02-18)
Knowing looks: Using gaze aversion to tell when children are learning
People use eye contact in a variety of ways every minute of every day but how often do you find yourself staring into space with concentrating on an issue or problem? Psychologists now know that people who are carrying out a complex task tend to look away from anyone else who is nearby. They refer to it as 'gaze aversion'. view more (2008-06-03)
Caltech researchers explore how cells reconcile mixed messages in decisions about growth
The cells in our body are constantly receiving mixed messages. For instance, an epithelial cell might be exposed to one signal telling it to divide and, simultaneously, another telling it to stop dividing. view more (2009-06-19)
Dangerous diarrheal bacterium found on asymptomatic patients
The bacterium that causes a highly contagious and sometimes deadly form of diarrhea is frequently carried by persons who do not have any of the disease symptoms. These findings have dramatic implications for health care workers who have customarily treated and isolated only those patients who exhibit symptoms. view more (2007-09-24)
Touching outlawed by hands-free monitor - Photon02
A Loughborough University research team, led by Professor Peter Smith and Vincent Crabtree, has developed a way of monitoring the blood flowing in human body tissue without actually touching the skin. This hands-free technique could one day be used to assess patients during surgery and monitor the healing of wounds or burns. Other applications... view more... (2002-08-30)
Freshwater supplies threatened in central Pacific
An international team from The Australian National University, Ecowise Environmental, the Government of the Republic of Kiribati, the French agency CIRAD and the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission has been studying the impacts of natural and human-induced changes on groundwater in the central Pacific nation of Kiribati since 1996. view more (2007-08-15)
Caltech bioengineers develop 'microscope on a chip'
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have turned science fiction into reality with their development of a super-compact high-resolution microscope, small enough to fit on a finger tip. view more (2008-07-29)
Biofilms: Even Stickier Than Suspected
Biofilms are everywhere - in dental plaque and ear canals, on contact lenses and in water pipelines - and the bacteria that make them get more resilient with age, finds a new study in FEMS Microbiology Letters. view more (2009-03-13)
£2.5M for research that will underpin the search for new antibiotics
The grants, which are both for periods of 5 years, total £2.5M. New antibiotics are urgently needed to maintain control of disease-causing bacteria, which are becoming resistant to more and more conventional antibiotics. view more (1999-10-12)
Experts from University of Leicester in Beagle 2 project
The University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy has one of the largest space research centres of its kind in Europe. The University was co-founder of the £52million National Space Centre and is one of the principal partners in the Beagle 2 Project. For background information related to the Beagle 2 mission, the University is... view more... (2003-12-23)
Sparks spell danger - The Physics Congress 2003
An effective new approach to preventing sparks when an electrically charged object is earthed could prevent explosions and save lives following a motorway smash involving fuel tankers or other hazardous vehicles. Dr Klaus Schwenzfeuer of the Electrostatic Laboratory at the Swiss Institute for the Promotion of Safety & Security in Basle, will... view more... (2003-03-17)
WHO REPORT 2000 - THE DEBATE CONTINUES (pp 1633, 1671, 1685-1703)
The World Health Report 2000 published last year has come under a furore of criticism during recent months, which has focused primarily on the report's methodological limitations. In this week's issue of The Lancet the debate continues. In an article (p1692), Celia Almeida and colleagues report that although the WHO's commitment to the goals of... view more... (2001-05-23)
Learning about each other's differences is the way to reduce prejudice, say psychologists
From anti-Semitism to Islamophobia, from the fear of terrorism to hostility towards asylum seekers, conflict between different cultural groups continues to be an alarming feature of the 21st century. While governments and policy makers struggle to address these issues, a Sussex social psychologist has revisited 20 years of research on intergroup... view more... (2005-05-25)
