Bioinformatics technology developed at Argonne provides new insight into microbial activities
Scientists may gain a new insight into the relationship between viruses and their environments thanks to a new computational technology developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. This technology has already been used to identify subtle differences... view more (2008-03-17)

New science of metagenomics 'will transform modern microbiology'
The emerging field of metagenomics, where the DNA of entire communities of microbes is studied simultaneously, presents the greatest opportunity — perhaps since the invention of the microscope — to revolutionize understanding of the microbial world, says a new report from the National... view more (2007-03-28)

Scientist advocates increased fisheries data gathering
Fisheries management decisions are often based on population models. However, those models need quality data to be effective.   view more (2007-02-20)

Investigating the invisible life in our environment
Microorganisms make up more than a third of the Earth's biomass. They are found in water, on land and even in our bodies, recycling nutrients, influencing the planet's climate or causing diseases.   view more (2007-02-02)

CAUTION IS NEEDED IN COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIPS IN CARE MANAGEMENT
Thomas Bodenheimer, Clinical Professor at the Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of California at San Francisco, School of Medicine argues that commercial disease management programmes may take needed money away from actual caregiving in order to enhance companies? profits.... view more (2000-02-22)

Emphasizing the 'precision' in precision agriculture
New protocol and software developments are helping farmers put the precision back in "precision agriculture" by making it easier for growers to use previously ineffectual soil and environmental data to manage their crops.   view more (2007-09-27)

Self-management of anticoagulant therapy
Research by Manon E Cromheecke and colleagues from the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, shows that self-management of oral anticoagulant therapy is feasible and at least as effective as management by a specialist anticoagulation clinic. Vitamin K antagonist treatment is effective for... view more (2000-07-05)

Study casts doubt over value of popular PMS treatment
Treatment of premenstrual syndrome with the hormone progesterone or progestogens (a group of drugs similar to progesterone) is unlikely to be effective, despite the continued popularity of these treatments in the United Kingdom and the United States, concludes a study in this week's BMJ.... view more (2001-10-03)

New Window Opens on the Secret Life of Microbes: Scientists Develop First Microbial Profiles of Ecosystems
Nowhere is the principle of "strength in numbers" more apparent than in the collective power of microbes: despite their simplicity, these one-cell organisms--which number about 5 million trillion trillion strong (no, that is not a typo) on Earth--affect virtually every ecological process,... view more (2008-03-14)

National Competition Winner Announced
The University of Leicester Management Centre is delighted to announce the winner in its national essay competition for sixth-formers on the subject of 'Management and Education'.   view more (2005-05-09)

Major US research award goes to European for first time
At the annual Summer meeting of the US Academy of Management in Denver, Colorado, Andrew Pettigrew, Professor of Strategy and Organisation at Warwick Business School in the UK, was presented with the Distinguished Scholar Award. The award for `significant scholarly contributions that have advanced... view more (2002-10-02)

Arthritis self-management does not reduce pain levels or GP visits
Self-management programmes for people with osteoarthritis do not reduce pain, or the number of visits patients make to their GP, a new study reveals today.   view more (2006-10-16)

Patients with chronic illness not benefiting from advances in care
Many patients with chronic diseases are not benefiting from advances in care because of a lack of financial and staff resources, inadequate information systems, and doctors' heavy workload, argue US researchers in this week's BMJ. They assessed the extent to which evidence-based chronic care... view more (2002-10-22)

Data mining personnel
With the dark clouds of global recession now is the time for companies to make the most of their most valuable assets - their personnel. Writing in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Business Information Systems, researchers in India explain how data mining could help unearth the... view more (2008-04-23)

Global ocean sampling expedition
In three new metagenomic studies published online in the open-access journal PLoS Biology, Craig Venter and his team take advantage of the vast amount of microbial sequence data collected during their Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) expedition to reveal an unprecedented level of genetic and... view more (2007-03-14)

Satellites Help Map Soil Carbon Flux

Metagenomics of the deep Mediterranean
Metagenomics is a revolutionary approach to study microbes. Rather than isolating pure cultures, the power of high-throughput sequencing is applied directly to environmental samples to obtain information about the genomes of the prokaryotic cells present in a specific habitat studied.   view more (2007-09-19)

Crop Management: How Small Do We Go?
The use of on-the-go crop and soil sensors has greatly increased the precision with which farmers can manage their crops. Recently released research in Agronomy Journal questions whether more precise management is necessarily more efficient.   view more (2008-07-09)

Exploring management accounting change in the balanced scorecard context - three perspectives
Management accounting change has recently been a widely discussed issue among management accounting researchers and practitioners. At a practical level, the discussion has mostly focused on the introduction and implementation of an activity-based costing/management system or the balanced scorecard.... view more (2003-02-04)

DOE JGI releases experimental metagenomics data management & analysis system
To tackle the computational challenges of analyzing the complex world of microbial communities, the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) has released to the worldwide research community IMG/M, an experimental metagenome data management and analysis system.   view more (2006-03-30)

ICT management in Kenya- 'Just laying a cable is not always possible'
ICT management is as necessary in Kenya as it is in other developing countries. But the Western management tools or models cannot be applied right away, for example, in the Kenyan situation.
