Telecoms: Important step to better network performance
Heidelberg/Rockville/Adastral Park. Today, Eurescom, Spirent Communications, and BTexact Technologies announced the completion of a test that confirms the feasibility of performance management for IP Quality of Service (QoS) using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). As a result of this test,... view more (2002-10-15)

Scientists find safer ways to detect uranium minerals
The threat of 'dirty' bombs and plans to use nuclear power as an energy source have driven Queensland University of Technology scientists to discover a new, safer way of detecting radioative contamination in the ground.   view more (2006-11-22)

Cleaner manure burns hotter in ethanol processing
Clean manure may sound like an oxymoron, but Dr. Brent Auvermann is working with feedyard owners to help them get the most "spark" from it as a fuel source.   view more (2007-05-24)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of... view more (2005-07-27)

Scientists unlock physical, chemical secrets of plutonium
Researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have unlocked some of the physical and chemical secrets of plutonium, an element known for its use in atomic weapons and power plant fuel.
