How Refugees And Their Families Contribute To British Life
The positive contribution of refugees and their families to British life will be highlighted at an event organised by the ESRC Families and Social Capital Research Group on June 21 as part of Social Science Week. The discussion entitled Refugees and their families: a national asset, which will be held at London South Bank University, will consist... view more... (2004-06-18)

Researchers at UCLA engineering discover theoretical model to predict jamming
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have come up with a theoretical model to predict when granular materials become jammed.   view more (2008-04-28)

Brain, behavior may have changed as social insect colonies evolved
A new study suggests that brain and behavior relationships may have changed in a profound way as larger, more complex insect societies evolved from smaller, simpler ones.   view more (2006-11-16)

How Do Bacteria Swim? Brown Physicists Explain
Imagine yourself swimming in a pool: It's the movement of your arms and legs, not the viscosity of the water, that mostly dictates the speed and direction that you swim.   view more (2008-11-20)

A Penn physics study: Of traffic jams, beach sands and the zero-temperature jamming transition
Researchers in condensed matter physics at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago have created an experimental and computer model to study how jamming, the physical process in which collections of particles are crammed together to behave as solids, might affect the behavior of systems in which thermal motion is important,... view more...

Decoded sea urchin genome shows surprising relationship to man
The Sea Urchin Genome Sequencing Project (SUGSP) Consortium, led by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM-HGSC) in Houston, announced today the decoding and analysis of the genome sequence of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.   view more (2006-11-13)

Historical Comparison Of Prices
The history of Russian people's wages, incomes and prices has been studied very poorly. Professor Boris Mironov from the St. Petersburg Institute of History, Russian Academy of Sciences, was the first to track the changes in common prices and wages indices in St. Petersburg within the first 200 years of its existence. The research required... view more... (2003-07-04)

Fears learned by observing others are similar to those learned from direct experience
Humans acquire fears using similar neural processes whether they've personally experienced an aversive event or only witnessed it, according to a study by researchers at New York University's Departments of Psychology.   view more (2007-03-16)
