Study reconciles long-standing contradiction of deep-earth dynamics
Researchers at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory recently resolved a long-standing contradiction about the workings of the deep Earth.   view more (2005-08-25)

Nature publishes new evidence about the deep biosphere written by biogeoscientists
Biogeoscientists show evidence of 90 billion tons of microbial organisms-expressed in terms of carbon mass-living in the deep biosphere, in a research article published online by Nature, July 20, 2008.   view more (2008-07-21)

IS THE AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN CLINICAL MEDICINE RESEARCH DECLINING? A CITATION ANALYSIS
Citation analysis is a powerful measurement of the scientific impact of medical papers. All papers which were published in journals of general and internal medicine (such as the Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine), the citations which attracted and their impact (citations divided by... view more (2001-11-13)

Natural aorta grafts have few side effects for infection-prone patients
A vascular surgery technique pioneered at UT Southwestern Medical Center, in which veins are removed from the thigh to repair the aorta does not create blood-flow problems and painful side effects in a majority of patients, researchers report.   view more (2007-09-11)

1 of deep ocean's most turbulent areas has big impact on climate
More than a mile beneath the Atlantic's surface, roughly halfway between New York and Portugal, seawater rushing through the narrow gullies of an underwater mountain range much as winds gust between a city's tall buildings is generating one of the most turbulent areas ever observed in the deep... view more (2007-08-10)

How brain pacemakers erase diseased messages
Brain "pacemakers" that have helped ease symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders seem to work by drowning out the electrical signals of their diseased brains.   view more (2007-05-31)

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... view more (2005-02-24)

The impact of early social disadvantage
The impact of risks associated with early social disadvantage, for example, low social class, poor material conditions at home, a lack of parental interest and aspirations for their children, can persist into adulthood. These are the findings of Dr. Ingrid Schoon, Department of Psychology, City... view more (2000-12-05)

A bug's life... in a bubble
Hundreds of insect species live mainly underwater, but how do they breathe? University of Alberta researcher Morris Flynn did a study to find out how these species are able to remain underwater without drowning.   view more (2008-08-11)

Ultrasound waves aid in rapid treatment of DVT
The use of ultrasound waves for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may help dissolve blood clots in less time than using clot-busting drugs alone, according to researchers at Emory University.   view more (2008-11-24)

Invasive procedures still performed on conscious children despite new anaesthetic techniques
Many invasive bone marrow procedures are still carried out in conscious children despite the safety and effectiveness of modern anaesthetic and deep sedation techniques, finds a study in Archives of Disease in Childhood. The findings also show a striking difference between the North American and... view more (2001-06-19)

Extraterrestrial Impact Likely Source of Sudden Ice Age Extinctions
At the end of the Pleistocene era, wooly mammoths roamed North America along with a cast of fantastic creatures - giant sloths, saber-toothed cats, camels, lions, tapirs and the incredible teratorn, a condor with a 16-foot wingspan.   view more (2007-09-25)

Short-circuit found in ocean circulation
Scientists have discovered how ocean circulation is working in the current that flows around Antarctica by tracing the path of helium from underwater volcanoes. The details are published in Nature this week.   view more (2007-05-11)

Reactor of the future destroys nuclear waste--KTH to head major EU project to cut storage times dramatically
A power plant that generates energy from used nuclear waste and destroys it as well. Could this become a reality? A three-year research project involving 23 European partners coordinated by KTH is being launched to investigate the matter. In the last few years great strides have been taken in... view more (2004-03-18)

Deep sleep short-circuits brain's grid of connectivity
In the human brain, cells talk to one another through the routine exchange of electrical signals. But when people fall into a deep sleep, the higher regions of the brain-regions that during waking hours are a bustling grid of neural dialogue-apparently lose their ability to communicate effectively,... view more (2005-09-30)

Yale journal examines the global impact of cities
The global impact of cities is the focus of cutting-edge research in a special issue of Yale's Journal of Industrial Ecology.   view more (2007-06-18)

Deep magmatic plumbing of mid-ocean ridges revealed
Some of the highest quality images ever taken of the Earth's lower crust reveal that the upper and lower crust form in two distinctly different ways.   view more (2005-08-25)

Funding for Impact Assessment
The Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB) and Arts Council England have awarded more than £250,000 to support projects that will help tell us more about the impact of research and activities in the arts and humanities.   view more (2004-11-18)

Deep-sea exploration beneath hurricane Katrina's wake
Despite having to evade hurricane Katrina, a team of scientists from Harbor Branch and other institutions is returning to port this Sunday with new tales from the deep after completing their second annual Deep Scope expedition.   view more (2005-09-02)

Alcohol increases sleep intensity in young women
While numerous studies have linked alcohol abuse to sleep disruption, especially in males, there has been little research on alcohol and its effects on sleep in females. Now, a new study shows that a moderate amount of alcohol, taken before bed, can impact the quality of sleep for young women.   view more (2006-08-22)

Radiologists encouraged to look beyond cancer for clinically unseen diseases
Radiologists can diagnose venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) in cancer patients earlier by looking more carefully at CT scans of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis which are regularly done to determine the extent or stage of the cancer.   view more (2007-08-15)

Low altitude flying with coarse maps - determining the time of SMART-1 impact
What exactly determines the time of the SMART-1 impact? What causes the uncertainty in the impact time?   view more (2006-08-28)

Tunguska - making an impact @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
The "Tunguska Event" refers to the tremendous explosion on the morning of June 30, 1908, that laid waste to about 2150 square kilometres of Siberia in the region to the north and north-west of Lake Baikal in Russia. The event is widely attributed to be the impact of a comet or asteroid.   view more (2002-08-17)

Pregnancy situations have impact on brain development in pre-term infants
Brain development in infants who are born very prematurely is still incomplete. Factors that cause premature birth may have an impact on the development of the premature infant's brain both during pregnancy and later on after birth.   view more (2008-08-28)

A better understanding of equatorial Atlantic deep currents
One of the main components of the Atlantic's water-mass circulation is a cold water flow (at 4°C on average) -the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)- which is conveyed at depth (between 1500 and 4000 m), sweeping from the Labrador Sea, Norway and Greenland in the polar and sub-polar zones towards... view more (2001-04-26)
