One-off lesson improves teenagers` knowledge of emergency contraception
A single lesson on emergency contraception, given by a trained teacher, improves teenagers' knowledge of the correct time limits for using emergency contraception, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers recruited 1,974 boys and 1,820 girls in year 10 (14-15 years old) from 24 mixed sex, state secondary schools in south west England. Trained... view more... (2002-05-14)

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 will defend his PhD thesis on this subject on 28... view more... (2005-02-24)

NASA diagnoses Tropical Storm Gert's growth spurt
Scientists want to know how a tropical cyclone develops from a weak tropical depression into a tropical storm. To answer that question, NASA and other scientists flew over and through storms in 2005 and obtained and combined data that let them see the storm in four dimensions.   view more (2006-12-12)

Girls will be girls longer when home life is stable
For many young girls, a stable family life is one key factor to avoiding a number of serious health problems. New research by researchers at The University of Arizona and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, indicates that girls who grow up with supportive parents who themselves have a strong relationship are more likely to delay the onset of... view more...

High altitude life may make women age before their time
n women, ageing is accompanied by a drop in the serum concentration of hormones such as DHEA/ DHEAS1, growth hormone, and ovarian sex hormones. Now new hormone research, published in the Journal of Endocrinology, indicates that women living at high altitude may age faster than those who live at sea level. A team led by Dr Gustavo Gonzales studied... view more... (2002-04-18)
