An end to interactive television production? Just the opposite
All stories have one beginning, one middle and one end. But with MECiTV's interactive television (iTV) authoring platform, producers can easily create programmes in which viewers choose how the story unravels and ends. view more (2004-12-17)
HeartScore®: New tool for cardiovascular disease risk prediction and management
HeartScore®: New tool for cardiovascular disease risk prediction and management Physicians are not adequately following clinical practice guidelines on cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, citing poor usability and adaptability as key obstacles to implementation (Ref. 1). Furthermore, there are large differences across Europe regarding... view more... (2004-03-31)
Screening MRI allows detection of more breast cancers in high-risk women
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables radiologists to accurately identify tumors missed by mammography and ultrasound, according to a multicenter study comparing the three screening methods in women at high-risk for breast cancer. view more (2007-07-31)
Researchers Turn Executive Toy into Engineering Tool
Researchers at the Warwick Manufacturing Group at the University of Warwick have transformed an executive "pin art" toy that sat on many managers desks into a hi-tech industrial moulding tool that those same mangers can now use to create new products. view more (1998-11-04)
University of Minnesota researchers map out America's deadliest roads

Tiny differences in our genes help shed light on the big picture of human history
By examining very small differences in people's genes, scientists from Cornell University have developed a new tool for identifying big events in human history and pinpointing the origins of specific gene mutations. view more (2009-04-30)
A sophisticated virtual simulation tool to test-drive new cars
The rapidly increasing demands of today's car buyers have placed a heavy burden on car manufacturers to constantly innovate. Building prototypes to test innovative car designs is a lengthy, not to mention expensive, process and one that companies keen to retain their competitive edge can ill afford. With contemporary simulation systems often... view more... (2003-09-09)
Study gives clues about how deadly bacterium gains foothold
