Genes Against By-Product-Coking Industry
How can workers be protected from detrimental production factors? Russian researchers have come to the conclusion that this can be done by a large number of actively working ribosomal genes.   view more (2005-02-22)

Bermuda 'rectangle' beckons for UK's leading unmanned underwater vehicle
Next week (2-3 September), marine technologists from around the world will gather in Southampton to take part in the largest ever Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Showcase (UUVS 98).   view more (1998-08-28)

Pesticides Persist in Ground Water
Numerous studies over the past four decades have established that pesticides, which are typically applied at the land surface, can move downward through the unsaturated zone to reach the water table at detectable concentrations.   view more (2008-07-02)

Nature press release for 8 November issue
[414212] BRAIN: PAINKILLERS BUST ALZHEIMER’S PLAQUES (pp212-216; N&V) In this week’s issue of Nature, Edward Koo at the University of California San Diego and colleagues identify three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, that reduce symptoms of... view more (2001-11-08)

Enhanced external counterpulsation reduces angina, says University of Pittsburgh study
Patients with angina (chest pain) and left ventricular dysfunction respond very well to treatment using enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), with little or no future heart failure events.   view more (2006-02-28)

How much nitrogen is too much for corn?
North Carolina State researchers recently discovered a test that quickly predicts nitrogen levels in the humid soil conditions of the southeastern United States.   view more (2007-04-24)

UMCES-led research team quantifies nutrient pollution reductions from urban stream restoration
A team of researchers led by University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sujay Kaushal has been among the first able to quantify the amount of excess nitrogen removed from an urban stream during environmental restoration projects.   view more (2008-05-01)

Premature births may be linked to seasonal levels of pesticides and nitrates in surface water
The growing premature birth rate in the United States appears to be strongly associated with increased use of pesticides and nitrates, according to work conducted by Paul Winchester, M.D., professor of clinical pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine.   view more (2007-05-07)

Air pollution linked to cardiovascular risk indices in healthy young adults
Researchers in Taiwan have demonstrated for the first time that urban air pollution simultaneously affects key indicators of cardiovascular risk in young adults: inflammation, oxidative stress, coagulation and autonomic dysfunction.   view more (2007-08-15)

Gene discovery suggests that plant breeders may be able to produce nitrogen-fixing crops more easily than previously thought.
Scientists at the Sainsbury Laboratory (SL)[1], Norwich, have today reported the discovery of a plant gene that is essential in controlling the interactions between plants and microorganisms that enable them to establish intimate associations, which are of benefit to both partners. Published in the... view more (2002-06-26)

Systems biology approach identifies nutrient regulation of biological clock in plants
Using a systems biological analysis of genome-scale data from the model plant Arabidopsis, an international team of researchers identified that the master gene controlling the biological clock is sensitive to nutrient status.   view more (2008-03-17)

"Acid rain" and forest mass: another perspective
A few years ago the study of the effects of atmospheric deposition on forest ecosystems reached beyond the scientific sphere and the term "acid rain" was coined.   view more (2005-10-14)

Scientists reveal fine detail of cell`s energy machinery
A molecular pump that helps to keep cells flush with energy has been visualised by scientists at Imperial College, London. The structure of the pump, a key enzyme in bacterial respiration, reveals for the first time one of the molecular mechanisms that underpins cellular respiration, and confirms... view more (2002-03-05)

A Yeast Useful For Pollutant Removal Processes
Sugar refineries and distilleries produce effluent which is harmful for the environment. The sugar industry produces two tonnes of sugar cane bagasse (a straw-like material) for every tonne of refined sugar. For Cuba this translates into 10 to 20 million tonnes of bagasse per year. Distilleries,... view more (2002-06-27)

Tetracycline plus teeth equal gray smile
Many adults over age 35 cover their mouth to avoid smiling in public in order to hide their teeth darkened by tetracycline stains. Typically, invasive as well as costly treatment options, such as veneers, crowns and bonding, served as the only treatment options to help these individuals hide such... view more (2006-08-01)

Lionfish decimating tropical fish populations, threaten coral reefs
The invasion of predatory lionfish in the Caribbean region poses yet another major threat there to coral reef ecosystems - a new study has found that within a short period after the entry of lionfish into an area, the survival of other reef fishes is slashed by about 80 percent.   view more (2008-07-21)

Scientists Reveal The Dangers of Counterfeit Cigarettes
Scientists at the Universities of Glasgow and St Andrews have discovered high levels of a cancer-causing toxic metal in counterfeit cigarettes, widely available in the UK. The fakes are not only illegal but pose an extra health hazard to smokers buying them. The discovery was made when examining... view more (2004-12-15)

Fat rat enables studies of debilitating vascular disease
A mutant rat that mimics a 400-pound human is helping scientists understand early vascular changes that make walking a pain for more than 2 million Americans.   view more (2005-10-10)

Study Reveals that Nitrogen Fertilizers Deplete Soil Organic Carbon
The common practice of adding nitrogen fertilizer is believed to benefit the soil by building organic carbon, but four University of Illinois soil scientists dispute this view based on analyses of soil samples from the Morrow Plots that date back to before the current practice began.   view more (2007-10-30)

As Andean glacier retreats, tiny life forms swiftly move in, CU-Boulder study shows
A University of Colorado at Boulder team working at 16,400 feet in the Peruvian Andes has discovered how barren soils uncovered by retreating glacier ice can swiftly establish a thriving community of microbes, setting the table for lichens, mosses and alpine plants.   view more (2008-09-09)
