Renaturation of waterbodies does not have to be expensive
The water landscape in many countries has many deficiencies. The ecological consequences of this are poor water quality as well as a deterioration and a shift of the naturally occurring species spectrum. The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany, has examined the existing morphological water structure deficiencies... view more... (2002-08-20)
Spinal fluid proteins signal Lou Gehrig's disease
High levels of certain proteins in the spinal fluid could signal the onset of Lou Gehrig's disease, according to researchers. The discovery of these biomarkers may lead to diagnostic kits for early diagnosis, accurately measuring the progression of the disease and monitoring the effects of treatment. view more (2009-01-29)
Risk factors identified for hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis
Researchers have identified several risk factors that are associated with the development of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis. view more (2006-09-19)
Fuel-saving designs improve efficiency of hydraulic systems
Researchers at Purdue University have shown how to reduce fuel consumption and dramatically improve the efficiency of hydraulic pumps and motors in heavy construction equipment. view more (2008-09-10)
UCSB researchers discover that the cell's endosomes use a surprising transportation system
Cells have developed a surprising transportation system for their endosomes, according to research published today in Physical Review Letters, "Dynamics and Spatial Organization of Endosomes in Mammalian Cells." view more (2005-10-06)
Turbulence yields secrets to 73-year-old experiment
A simple but groundbreaking experiment performed more than 70 years ago finally has been explained by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The solution sheds new light on fluid turbulence - the last major unsolved problem in classical physics. view more (2006-02-02)
Summer heat increases risk of amniotic fluid level deficiency, Ben-Gurion University study reveals
Pregnant women have a higher incidence of insufficient amniotic fluid levels (oligohydramnios) in the summer months due to dehydration, according to a study conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU). view more (2009-07-31)

Professor Andrew Willmott has been appointed the next Director of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory in Liverpool. view more (2005-03-11)
Australia's climate: Drought and flooding in annual rings of tropical trees
Annual rings are acclaimed in representing natural climate archives. For the temperate latitudes it is known that the growth of these annual rings depend mainly on temperature and precipitation. view more (2009-06-12)
Antibiotics do not appear helpful in preventing fluid buildup in children with ear infections
When prescribed to children with middle ear infections, antibiotics are not associated with a significant reduction in fluid buildup in the ear. view more (2008-02-19)
Models Simulate Nitrate Dynamics in Garonne, Southwest France
The over-enrichment of fresh, transitional, and marine waters with nitrogen (N) can lead to problems associated with eutrophication, such as a change in species composition of aquatic plants and nuisance algal blooms. In this context, dynamic models of flow and water quality are required to aid the implementation of the Water Framework Directive... view more... (2009-01-06)
Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same. view more (2007-12-10)
On the crest of wave energy
The ocean is a potentially vast source of electric power, yet as engineers test new technologies for capturing it, the devices are plagued by battering storms, limited efficiency, and the need to be tethered to the seafloor. view more (2009-11-20)
Lab-on-a-chip detects ammonia in human breath
A lab-on-a-chip that is sensitive enough to detect just a tiny ammount of ammonia in human breath has been developed by Björn Timmer of University of Twente in The Netherlands. Ammonia is an indicator for the development of a bacterial infection in the stomach. The tiny dimensions of this lab-on-a-chip have several advantages: it just needs a... view more... (2004-05-28)
20 Thousand Leagues Under The Sea"¦ And Up Into Space
What could an astronaut learn from a crab? In the ocean, detecting depth is crucial. If an animal swims too deep it may be crushed by the immense pressure it encounters. Fortunately for the crab it is able to detect pressure using its balance system and, by exploiting the sensitivity of this system, it may be possible to compensate for the... view more...

Scientists identify cell changes leading to impaired 'artificial kidney' function
Molecular targets identified by a Spanish research team may hold the key to freedom for some sufferers of kidney disease. A new study published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), dmm.biologists.org, reveals the cellular signals which cause one treatment for kidney failure to lose its usefulness over time. view more (2008-10-28)
New Drugs Prevent Scarring After Glaucoma Eye Surgery
Highly innovative new drugs that can prevent scarring in the eye after glaucoma surgery have been discovered by a London-based team of scientists, who report today in the journal Nature Biotechnology.* By targeting more than one aspect of the scarring process at the same time, the team has been able to use the drugs safely and successfully in... view more...

The Value of Variation: Ecologists Consider the Causes and Consequences
Consider the case of the three-spine stickleback. These tiny fish that thrive in oceans and in fresh water might appear to be the same, yet ecologists are finding that they are actually a diverse collection of very specialized individuals. view more (2009-07-23)
New Type Of Reactor Developed For Cleaner, Safer Chemical Processing
Scientists in the UK are using an unusual form carbon dioxide in a new type of reactor capable of carrying out commercially important chemical processes which could be cheaper, safer and cleaner than their conventional counterparts. The work, reported in this month’s EPSRC Newsline is being carried out at the University of Nottingham led by... view more... (2001-02-05)
Materials scientists find better model for glass creation
Harvard materials scientists have come up with what they believe is a new way to model the formation of glasses, a type of amorphous solid that includes common window glass. view more (2009-11-05)
