NJIT architect professor advocates best-building practices for high wind regions
More than ever before, building design and construction can be significantly improved to reduce wind pressures on building surfaces and to help better resist high winds and hurricanes in residential or commercial construction, said NJIT architecture professor Rima Taher, PhD. view more (2008-07-10)
Unexpected similarities between raindrops and proteins
Raindrops and proteins seem to have a lot in common. This has been shown in a new study by scientists at Ume'å University in Sweden. The principle behind the formation of raindrops is very similar to how proteins fold. This knowledge is vital to our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. These findings have been published in... view more... (2004-05-26)
When 2 plus 2 doesn't equal 4: How consumers miscalculate sale prices
Quick: You're walking by a store window and you see a sign that says, "20% off the original price plus an additional 25% off the already reduced sale price." So, how much is the discount" Consumers often mistakenly think the total discount is 45% off the original price when, in fact, the true discount is 40%. view more (2007-09-13)
Paper-Thin Compound-Eye Camera
The focal length of a lens means that a camera has to have a certain thickness - or so we might think. Insect eyes show that this need not be the case: A camera chip based on the compound-eye principle can be used for person recognition and is as thin as paper. If people were insects, books on optics would certainly look different. The camera... view more... (2004-07-08)
Working together to design robust silicon chips
Designers of high-speed silicon chips have often had to compromise on performance levels for their integrated circuit designs because of physical weaknesses appearing during design verification or even in production. view more (2009-11-13)
High blood pressure has stronger effect on mental function in blacks
Not only does high blood pressure adversely affect mental functioning, but the correlation appears to be stronger among African-Americans than among whites, researchers report in the current issue of Psychosomatic Medicine. view more (2005-09-23)
Using morphine to hasten death is a myth, says doctor
Using morphine to end a person's life is a myth, argues a senior doctor in a letter to this week's BMJ. view more (2007-03-02)
UK research leads to world-leading drug delivery technology
There is an unmet need to deliver drugs specifically to the colon (large intestine) in a reliable and controlled way. This new technology involves a drug coating consisting of ethycellulose and amylose, which is only digested by microbial amylase enzymes which are present in the colon. Drugs which are coated with this mixture can thus be taken... view more... (1998-08-06)
Disposable catheter breakthrough, a world first
A unique low cost disposable solid-state catheter that can measure swallowing pressure has been developed by a University of South Australia research team using intelligent manufacturing processes that eliminate the infection risks posed by existing catheters. view more (2006-02-06)
Kingston University Graduate Wins D&Ad Student Of The Year Award
A Kingston University graduate has won the coveted Student of the Year Award from Britain's leading design and art directors' organisation, D&AD. Christian Stacey carried off the top title after coming up with a concept to promote cut-price copies of The Guardian newspaper to first year university students. The creative 23 year old dazzled judges... view more... (2003-07-17)
Researchers find snippet of RNA that helps make individuals remarkably alike
"No two people are alike." Yet when we consider the thousands of genes with frequent differences in genetic composition among different people, it is remarkable how much alike we are. view more (2009-05-06)
University has grand designs to build a house of straw

ANALYTICA 2004: Infrared Sensor is Kind to Costs and Environment
The IMM Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH has developed an infrared sensor for the quality control of lubricants in machines. With this sensor, oil and its ageing can be monitored directly at the operating machine. Future fields of application are for example real-time monitoring of large motors, particularly in shipping or compressors.... view more... (2004-05-10)
Students blow up the universe for Morse creator Colin Dexter
School students will blow up the universe, smash spinning eggs together, and make cola cans implode to try and win one of the UK's most challenging science competitions, to be held in London on Wednesday 31st March. Paperclip Physics is organised by the Institute of Physics and the students taking part will have to explain some of the most complex... view more... (2004-03-30)

New satellite and microwave-based systems for highway toll payment
Robotiker Telecom is collaborating with Telvent traffic, road transport and toll payment systems R+D group in the design of satellite and microwave (wireless) tele-payment at highway/motorway toll booths. view more (2004-11-23)
Understanding a cell's split personality aids synthetic circuits
As scientists work toward making genetically altered bacteria create living "circuits" to produce a myriad of useful proteins and chemicals, they have logically assumed that the single-celled organisms would always respond to an external command in the same way. view more (2009-10-05)
Research explores interactions between nanomaterials, biological systems
The recent explosion in the development of nanomaterials with enhanced performance characteristics for use in commercial and medical applications has increased the likelihood of people coming into direct contact with these materials. view more (2009-06-22)
Playing with your playground
School-children will soon be able to transform and re-invent their playground environments thanks to NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - the organization that champions UK innovation and creativity. NESTA has invested £200,000 in the development of the Experimental Playground Kit, brainchild of artist... view more... (2005-01-12)
Over-diagnosis Of Liver Failure After Paracetamol Poisoning?
Danish authors of a Research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that there is the potential for clinicians to mistakingly diagnose liver failure after moderate paracetamol poisoning by relying solely on the measurement of one diagnostic marker. The use of acetylcysteine after paracetamol poisoning is of known therapeutic benefit;... view more... (2002-10-09)
