Delft Architectural Engineer Combines Economics and Environment: Building with Double Profit
Researcher Tim de Jonge, of TU Delft, has developed a model to calculate the environmental impact of all kinds of building projects easily and accurately. The model can show whether or not a design change, aimed at the reduction of the environmental impact of the design, is worthwhile. Tim de Jonge will defend his PhD thesis on this subject on 28... view more... (2005-02-24)

Duke researchers show reading can help obese kids lose weight
It's no secret that reading is beneficial. But can it help kids lose weight? In the first study to look at the impact of literature on obese adolescents, researchers at Duke Children's Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference. view more (2008-10-06)
Restricting hospital-based services during SARS outbreak had modest impact
Restrictions on the non-urgent use of hospital-based services that were imposed when a provincial health emergency was declared during the 2003 SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak in Toronto, Ontario, resulted in only modest reductions in overall admissions. view more (2007-06-19)
COPAXONE® may repair nerve damage in Multiple Sclerosis patients
Clinical research data published in the December issue of Multiple Sclerosis provided evidence that COPAXONE® (glatiramer acetate injection) may offer protection from axonal injury and induced neuronal metabolic recovery in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). view more (2005-11-15)

Where rubber meets the road
Intelligent tyres, where a vehicle is controlled by a combination of the satellite Global Positioning System and the tyre-road contact patch may be a thing of the future, but steps towards this will be described on Thursday 7 December at the Institute of Physics Conference, ‘Where Rubber Meets the Road’. Improvements in materials and... view more... (2000-12-05)
Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants. view more (2004-08-27)
Mother's genes determine sperm design
A new study at the University of Sheffield, published today in Nature, has found that the size and shape of a zebra finch's sperm are genetically passed down from the mother, a fact that may also be true in humans. The paper Genetic effects on sperm design in the zebra finch, also suggests that when sperm operate in a non-competitive environment... view more... (2005-03-15)
Virtual Reality in the Theatre
As all cinema-goers have noticed, the use of computers in film-making has had considerable impact, helping to create special effects that would have been impossible just a decade ago. Now, thanks to the work of a visiting academic at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC), computers are being used to add a whole new dimension to theatre... view more... (2000-03-07)
