Researchers discover gut tissue to be a major reservoir harboring HIV
UCLA researchers have found the human gut to be a major reservoir harboring the HIV virus - holding almost twice as much as a person's blood. view more (2006-08-28)
More economical and easier to install wind generator: the wind reservoir
Two Basque companies, Enerlim and NECESA, have developed a new wind generator, a wind reservoir to make use of wind energy. This wind reservoir is much lighter than ordinary three-arm wind generators; hence, it is more economical and easier to install. On the other side, the machine is completely modular, as columns, pulleys and plates can be... view more... (2002-03-25)

A better way to pinpoint underground oil reserves
Picture this: an accurate map of a large underground oil reservoir that can guide engineers' efforts to coax the oil from the vast rocky subsurface into wells where it can be pumped out for storage or transport. view more (2009-01-29)
Global monsoon drives long-term carbon cycles in the ocean
Monsoon is a global system, and many arrays of evidence indicate that it drives long-term cyclicity of the carbon reservoir in the global ocean. view more (2009-05-08)
Deep magma matters in volcanic eruption cycle
Although the Soufriere Hills volcano on Montserrat exhibits cycles of eruption and quiet, an international team of researchers found that magma is continuously supplied from deep in the crust but that a valve acts below a shallower magma chamber, releasing lava to the surface periodically. view more (2008-10-10)
DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD LEAD TO BETTER CONTROL
A genetic test targeted at cattle could have a substantial impact in controlling sleeping sickness in east Africa, conclude authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (transmitted by the tsetse fly) is fatal if not treated. Drug treatment can be associated with... view more... (2001-12-12)

Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts. view more (2007-08-21)
Future of Western Water Supply Threatened by Climate Change, Says New CU-Boulder Study
As the West warms, a drier Colorado River system could see as much as a one-in-two chance of fully depleting all of its reservoir storage by mid-century assuming current management practices continue on course, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2009-07-21)
Droughts and reservoirs: Finding storage space underground
Odd as it sounds, in some places the smartest way to safeguard the water supply is to let it drain out of the reservoirs and soak into the ground. view more (2006-09-19)
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)
Innocuous intestinal bacteria may be reservoir for resistance
"Harmless" bacteria in the digestive tracts of dairy cows, may not be so harmless after all. They may be a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred to more harmful, disease-causing bacteria. view more (2006-05-25)
Research highlights how bacteria produce energy
The world's smallest life forms could be the answer to one of today's biggest problems: providing sustainable, renewable energy for the future. view more (2006-05-22)
Birds carry bacteria across the hemispheres: Migratory birds transmit borreliosis
Migrating birds transmit different forms of the Borrelia bacterium or Borrelia spirochetes to every corner of the globe. Birds are especially prone to Borrelia infected ticks during their autumn and spring migrations. The bacteria may also persist for several months in the birds and it may then be reactivated in response to migration. Borrelia... view more... (2005-05-20)
University of Pennsylvania Study Reveals Inconspicuous Hosts in the Lyme Disease Epidemic
A study led by a University of Pennsylvania biologist in the tick-infested woods of the Hudson Valley is challenging the widely held belief that mice are the main animal reservoir for Lyme disease in the U.S. view more (2007-11-30)
Ebola virus: from wildlife to dogs
Ebola virus infection in humans provokes a violent haemorrhagic fever. It usually flares up as intense epidemics. These kill 80 % of the people infected. Seven such outbreaks have hit Gabon and the Republic of Congo since 1994, leading to 445 cases resulting in 361 deaths. Ebola virus thus constitutes a grave public health problem in these... view more... (2005-04-04)
NASA satellites watch as China constructs giant dam
Upon completion in 2009, the Three Gorges Dam along China's Yangtze River will be the world's largest hydroelectric power generator and one of the few man-made structures so enormous that it's actually visible to the naked eye from space. view more (2007-06-13)
Tunisia: Small Dams Useful For Maintaining Aquifer Levels
In Tunisia, fierce, sometimes catastrophic, flooding is favoured by sudden bursts of rainfall and by erosion- prone soils. This is especially the case in the large wadis in the centre of the country. Large amounts of sediment flow into reservoirs, reducing the useful life of the dams and destroying and depleting the soils in the drainage basins.... view more... (2001-10-11)
When will Mount St Helens erupt?
Research reported in Science today (14 October 2004) shows that rocks erupted from the Mount St Helens volcano in 1980 preserve a remarkable record of the goings-on beneath the volcano in the period prior to its eruption. view more (2004-10-12)
