Researchers Find 30% Improvement in Overall Casualty Waiting Times If Hospitals Separately Stream Minor Injury Treatment
Researchers at the University of Warwick`s Emergency Medicine Research Group have shown that the introduction of a separate stream for minor injuries in a hospital casualty department can reduce the overall number of trauma patients having to wait over an hour for treatment by around 30%. Dr... view more (2002-01-31)

New national survey says public reveres bison
Americans are woefully out of touch with the fact that the American bison, or buffalo, is in trouble as a wild, iconic species, but they do love them as an important symbol of their country-and as an entrée on the dinner table.   view more (2008-11-19)

IGBP calls for better observation of Earth's "Achilles' heels"
Monitoring the most sensitive "hotspots" of the Earth is an important way of assessing the health of our planet and predicting our future, said IGBP (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) scientists speaking at the Earth Observation Summit in Washington last week. The summit was... view more (2003-08-06)

Shifts in soil bacterial populations linked to wetland restoration success
A new study led by Duke University researchers finds that restoring degraded wetlands -- especially those that had been converted into farm fields -- actually decreases their soil bacterial diversity.   view more (2008-11-13)

Changing jet streams may alter paths of storms and hurricanes
The Earth's jet streams, the high-altitude bands of fast winds that strongly influence the paths of storms and other weather systems, are shifting-possibly in response to global warming.   view more (2008-04-17)

New protocol tracks how land use influences the way streams work
Virginia Tech biology researchers have applied tools from geology, geography, and hydrologic modeling to determine the effect of different land uses on stream quality across 10 watersheds of the French Broad River in the North Carolina mountains.   view more (2005-10-13)

Tsunami-damaged coral reefs should be left to recover naturally, say scientists
CORAL reefs damaged in the Asian tsunami tragedy should be allowed to recover naturally before countries launch into expensive restoration plans, according to some of the world's leading scientists.   view more (2005-05-11)

Drop in acid rain altering Appalachian stream water
Appalachian hardwood forests may be getting a respite from acid rain but data from a long-term ecological study of stream chemistry suggests that the drop in acid rain may be changing biological activity in the ecosystem and hiking dissolved carbon dioxide in forest streams.   view more (2006-12-12)

Data show Antarctic ice stream radiating seismically
A seismologist at Washington University in St. Louis and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University and Newcastle University in the United Kingdom have found seismic signals from a giant river of ice in Antarctica that makes California's earthquake problem seem trivial.   view more (2008-06-05)

Studying the fate of drugs in wastewater
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have published an interesting study that sheds light on the fate of a familiar pharmaceutical as it enters the waste stream.   view more (2005-12-27)

Salamanders, headwater streams critical in food chain
University of Missouri scientist Ray Semlitsch studies creatures most people don't ever see. These creatures are active only at night and thrive in the shallow, cool, wet surroundings of headwater streams, an oft-overlooked biological environment.   view more (2008-02-22)

Small streams mitigate human influence on coastal ecosystems
Healthy streams play a major role in minimizing the amount of human-generated pollutants, such as nitrogen, that are delivered downstream.   view more (2008-03-13)

Use of anti-depressant does not decrease risk of relapse for patients with anorexia nervosa
Use of the anti-depressant fluoxetine did not help patients with anorexia nervosa who had restored their body weight maintain that weight or reduce their risk of relapse, according to a study in the June 14 issue of JAMA.   view more (2006-06-14)

Ice Scalpel For Explosives
How can a tin be opened if it contains not tinned goods but explosives? Or a shell or something no less dangerous, for instance, a retired nuclear reactor?   view more (2005-04-29)

Researchers examine role of soil patterns in dam restoration
Looking at the site today, it's easy to forget that a dam and pond stood for 43 years on the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Franbrook Farm Research Station in southwestern Wisconsin.   view more (2008-12-04)

Scientists show that streams are critical to preservation of oceanic coastal zones
The plight of the world's oceans is dire, according to recent studies, through insults from human-derived activities depopulating and damaging reefs, altering coastlines, and creating pollutants, such as nitrogen runoff from terrestrial watersheds.   view more (2008-03-13)

New finding may aid adult stem cell collection
Cincinnati scientists have discovered how blood-regenerating stem cells move from bone marrow into the blood stream.   view more (2005-07-28)

UGA study reveals ecosystem-level consequences of frog extinctions
Streams that once sang with the croaks, chirps and ribbits of dozens of frog species have gone silent. They're victims of a fungus that's decimating amphibian populations worldwide.   view more (2008-10-17)

Antarctic Ice Sheet's Hidden Lakes Speed Ice Flow Into Ocean, May Disrupt Climate
Just as explorers once searched the vast reaches of Africa's Nile River for clues to its behavior and ultimate source, modern-day scientists are searching Antarctica for its hidden lakes and waterways that can barely be detected at the surface of the ice sheet.   view more (2007-03-07)

Friction Inside The Earth Is A Source Of Heat
There is high temperature inside our planet and the reason is not known yet. A common belief that the Earth`s interior is heated by radioactive elements is now doubted of. Professor Felix Letnikov from Irkutsk Institute of the Earth`s Crust have proposed an idea that the heat is formed in the outer... view more (2002-06-28)

Stakeholders use science to find common ground on wood supply from forests
Northern Arizona University has released a report that identifies the potential volume of wood resources available from more than 2 million acres of Arizona forests, representing the first major agreement among groups typically at odds over the issue of forest thinning.   view more (2008-03-03)

ORNL study finds rivers play part in removing nitrogen
Tiny organisms play a powerful role in removing nitrate, a form of nitrogen pollution caused by human activity, in streams, according to a study by a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and published in Nature.   view more (2008-03-13)

Russian River coho recovery project seeing first hopeful signs of success
Surveys of three streams in the Russian River watershed show the first encouraging signs that a ground-breaking recovery effort is making headway rescuing coho salmon from the brink of extinction in part of its historic California range.   view more (2005-12-06)

California flood risks are 'disaster waiting to happen,' say University of Maryland engineers
While flooding in California's Central Valley is "the next big disaster waiting to happen," water-related infrastructure issues confront almost every community across the country, according to engineers at the University of Maryland's Clark School of Engineering in separate reports to... view more (2008-01-18)

Proof-Of-Principle Data For Nerve Repair Programme Presented At The 10th International Symposium On Neural Regeneration
