Healthier Salmon Means Healthier Cardiac Patients
A study carried out by the Heart and Lung Centre at Ullevaal Hospital in Oslo has demonstrated that domesticated salmon fed with fish oil containing a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids is better for cardiac patients than salmon fed with vegetable oil (rapeseed oil). view more (2004-09-01)
New research to help guarantee future of oil supplies
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are working with leading oil companies to further understanding of the nature of oil and gas reservoirs within deeply buried submarine channels. view more (2006-01-05)
Hot On The Heels Of Oil Pollution
Who spilled the oil? This is not an idle inquiry especially when the damage is enormous. To catch the culprits red-handed and prove their guilt is very difficult. That is why the identification of the sources which are responsible for oil pollution seems to be one of the major environmental problems all over the world. However, thanks to efforts... view more... (2001-10-12)
Oregano oil works as well as synthetic insecticides to tackle common beetle pest
New research in the Society of Chemical Industry's Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture shows that oregano oil works as well as synthetic insecticides to combat infestation by a common beetle, Rhizoppertha dominica, found in stored cereals. view more (2008-05-22)
Greater Social Responsibiltiy in the Oil Sector?
Exploring for oil in developing countries breaks the borders of traditional business economy. In recent years the demand has been that oil companies must take greater social responsibility. Currently, the actors are seeking new forms of co-operation. -We think increased co-operation between oil companies and multi-lateral organisations can enhance... view more... (2004-08-04)
ANALYTICA 2004: Analyses for Medicine and Environment
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of a modular kit for a „chip-based lab". Thanks to ingenious fluidics and a miniaturised tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproducable PCR reactions in less than five minutes. The single chips of the modular kit are... view more... (2004-05-05)
Consumption of fish oil does not appear to protect against abnormal heart rhythms
Patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator did not have a significantly lower risk of serious abnormal heart rhythms or death by consuming fish oil supplements, which had been thought to have a protective effect. view more (2006-06-14)
Tea tree oil and silver together make more effective antiseptics
In the fight against infected skin wounds, mixing tea tree oil and silver or putting them in liposomes, (small spheres made from natural lipids), greatly increases their antimicrobial activity and may minimise any side effects. view more (2009-03-30)
Exxon Valdez oil found in tidal feeding grounds of ducks, sea otters
Seventeen years after the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska's Prince William Sound, compelling new evidence suggests that remnants of the worst oil spill in U.S. history extend farther into tidal waters than previously thought, increasing the probability that the oil is causing unanticipated long-term harm to wildlife. view more (2006-05-16)
Using microbes for the quick clean up of dirty oil
Microbiologists from the University of Essex, UK have used microbes to break down and remove toxic compounds from crude oil and tar sands. view more (2009-09-08)
On the (sound) track of anesthetics
Danish scientists challenge the accepted scientific views of how nerves function and of how anesthetics work. Their research suggests that action of nerves is based on sound pulses and that anesthetics inhibit their transmission. view more (2007-03-07)
Flaxseed oil and osteoporosis
Animal studies suggest that adding flaxseed oil to the diet could reduce the risk of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and women with diabetes, according to a report to be published in the International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health. view more (2009-11-24)
Electronic tongue as oil tester
In the early days of mass motoring, in the 1950s, a car became due for inspection and oil change roughly every 3,000 kilometers. Since then, improvements to car engines and oils have lengthened this interval to around 30,000 kilometers, and it is likely to increase still further: to three times that figure, in the years to come. Nevertheless, the... view more... (2003-05-22)
Treating addiction by eliminating drug-associated memories
Addicts, even those who have been abstinent for long periods of time, are often still vulnerable to their own memories of prior drug use. For example, exposure to the same environment in which they commonly used drugs -- a contextual memory -- can increase their craving for the drug dramatically and can lead to relapse. view more (2009-04-23)
Making gas out of crude oil
An international team that includes University of Calgary scientists has shown how crude oil in oil deposits around the world - including in Alberta's oil sands - are naturally broken down by microbes in the reservoir. view more (2007-12-13)
ANALYTICA 2004: Infrared Sensor is Kind to Costs and Environment
The IMM Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH has developed an infrared sensor for the quality control of lubricants in machines. With this sensor, oil and its ageing can be monitored directly at the operating machine. Future fields of application are for example real-time monitoring of large motors, particularly in shipping or compressors.... view more... (2004-05-10)

Sudan - A War Against The People (p 161)
Two Health and Human Rights articles in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the ongoing and forgotten war in Sudan. Now two decades on, the health and wellbeing of the people of Sudan remains a major concern. In the first article, César Chelala discusses the impact of oil in the south of the country. For the past year, government... view more... (2002-01-11)
Conductive plastics made from natural, renewable, environmentally friendly soybeans
Polymer matrix composites with carbon black are very interesting materials. This is because the carbon black can be used as filler material and can beneficially modify the electrical and mechanical properties of the used matrixes. view more (2007-05-30)
