First link of oral bacteria and preterm birth found in human
A 37-year-old-mother, who gave birth to a low-weight preemie at 24 weeks, exhibited the first-found link in a human between bacteria found in the mouth and the amniotic fluid of a woman in preterm labor. view more (2006-04-06)
Study suggests new therapy for lung disease patients
A new study by researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine may change current thinking about how best to treat patients in respiratory distress in hospital intensive care units. view more (2008-02-11)
Fighting sound with sound, new modeling technique could quiet aircraft
Newly published research by a Princeton engineer suggests that understanding how air travels across the sunroof of a car may one day make jet engines less noisy. view more (2006-02-27)
Scientists tackle mystery mountain illness
Experts at the University are studying an illness known as HAPE (high altitude pulmonary oedema), which causes fluid to build up in the lungs can and can occur from as low as 2,500 metres, affecting people of all age groups and fitness levels. view more (2007-08-22)
All done with mirrors: NIST microscope tracks nanoparticles in 3-D
A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in three dimensions. view more (2008-03-11)
WHEN BIKES BEHAVE LIKE SHIPS AT SEA
The precise conditions which generate these instabilities are not properly understood, but anecdotal evidence suggests that they are triggered by an uncommon combination of road profiling, road surface conditions and motorcycle loading, while the machine is executing a cornering manoeuvre. view more (1999-11-30)
Sonohysterography is an Alternative Diagnostic Tool for Women with Adenomyosis Suffering from Dysmenorrhea, Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding and Pelvic Pain
Sonohysterography (SHG), a simple ultrasound technique commonly used to evaluate the uterine cavity, improves the diagnostic capability of transvaginal ultrasound in detecting adenomyosis (a common benign condition of the uterus that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain), according to a study performed at the Thomas... view more...

Running shipwreck simulations backwards helps identify dangerous waves
Big waves in fierce storms have long been the focus of ship designers in simulations testing new vessels. view more (2007-10-02)
NYU physicists make room for oddballs
Here's a question. How many gumballs of different sizes can fit in one of those containers at the mall so as to reward a well-spent quarter? It's hard to believe that most people never consider it even when guessing the number of candies in a bowl at Halloween. view more (2009-08-04)
Embryonic Stem Cells Thrive When Shaken
Embryos spend much of their time in the womb bobbing along with a mother's movement, and, surprisingly enough, new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University suggests that embryonic stem cells may develop much better under similarly shaky conditions. view more (2007-09-11)
Slowdown in tropical Pacific flow pinned on climate change
The vast loop of winds that drives climate and ocean behavior across the tropical Pacific has weakened by 3.5% since the mid-1800s, and it may weaken another 10% by 2100. view more (2006-05-04)
Protein 'fingerprint' in spinal fluid could spot Alzheimer's disease
Scientists collaborating at Cornell University in Ithaca and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City have identified a panel of 23 protein biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid that acts as a neurochemical "fingerprint," which doctors might use someday to identify patients living with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-12-12)
FLUCTUATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION IN THE EQUATORIAL PACIFIC UNDERTHE EFFECT OF EL NINO
A region of the western equatorial Pacific, the Pacific warm pool, has exceptionally warm surface waters (an average 28.5°C) which have low salinity and are oligotrophic (nutrient-poor). At the Equator the Eastern edge of this pool comes into contact with cooler water (24°C on average) which is saline and nutrient rich (especially in... view more... (1999-05-11)
You must remember this: Scientists develop nasal spray that improves memory
Good news for procrastinating students: a nasal spray developed by a team of German scientists promises to give late night cram sessions a major boost, if a good night's sleep follows. view more (2009-10-01)
DFG Research Training Groups Become Increasingly International
The Research Training Groups of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) are attracting increasing numbers of applicants. At its meeting on 8 October 2004 the Grants Committee on Research Training Groups selected 23 projects out of 66 new funding proposals. This is the highest number of funding proposals received over... view more... (2004-10-20)
Consumption of raw fish raises potential health concerns for consumers
Two case studies from Japan presented at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology point to a potential health problem in the United States, as more Americans consume raw fish in the form of sushi and sashimi. Anisakiasis (round worm) is a human parasitic infection caused by the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood... view more... (2007-10-15)
Technology improves salmon passage at hydropower dams
Acoustic tags and numerical river models are two technologies developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that are helping improve salmon passage at the Columbia Basin's hydroelectric dams. view more (2009-07-24)
Partners can help or hinder attempts at changing diet
For people trying to make a change in their diet, significant others generally play a positive and supportive role, but sometimes respond in negative ways, according to a study in the March/April Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (http://www.jneb.org/). view more (2008-03-26)
Iowa State researchers helping to take the natural gas out of ethanol production
It takes a lot of natural gas to run an ethanol plant. A plant needs steam to liquefy corn starch and heat to distill alcohol and more heat to dry the leftover distillers grains. view more (2006-09-27)
Are existing large-scale simulations of water dynamics wrong?
Soils are complicated porous media that are highly relevant for the sustainable use of water resources. view more (2008-03-11)
