Could women labour to better effect at home?
Are women who go into hospital early in labour at greater risk of assisted birth, such as by Caesarean, forceps or vacuum? Two major studies at the University of Leeds aim to discover how women can be supported at home in early labour to maximise chances of normal delivery. Mother and Infant Research Unit researcher Jo Green said: "There is... view more... (2004-06-08)
Biocontrol Insect Exacerbates Invasive Weed
Biocontrol agents, such as insects, are often released outside of their native ranges to control invasive plants. But scientists in Montana have found that through complex community interactions among deer mice, native plants and seeds, the presence of an introduced fly may exacerbate the effects of the invasive plant it was meant to control. view more (2008-09-04)

New non-invasive sensor can detect brainwaves remotely
Scientists have developed a remarkable sensor that can record brainwaves without the need for electrodes to be inserted into the brain or even for them to be placed on the scalp. Conventional electroencephalograms (EEGs) monitor electrical activity in the brain with electrodes placed either on the scalp (involving hair removal and skin abrasion)... view more... (2002-10-24)

Sometimes dry soils yield more clouds
Symposium of the American Meteorological Society in Wageningen (The Netherlands) Cloud formation does not always follow beaten tracks. The formation of low clouds during nice weather conditions will normally take place above moist soils.
