Fisheries forecasting in the Niger inner delta
The hydrological regime of the inner delta of the River Niger, situated in Mali, is subject to strong annual and indeed intra-annual variability. This delta ecosystem has a characteristic feature, a three-phase cycle. The first, a period of flood, starts in July marking the beginning of the cycle;... view more (2002-03-27)

2,000-year-old Settlement In Santiagomendi (Basque Country)
A research team from the Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi and the University of Deusto have been working around the summit of Santiagomendi (Astigarraga) since 1993 and have recently made important discoveries about the site's past.

Travelers can avoid jet lag by resetting their body clocks
A simple, at-home treatment - a single light box and the over-the-counter drug melatonin - allows travelers to avoid jet lag by resetting their circadian body clock before crossing several time zones.   view more (2005-11-02)

ESC Congress 2004: Converting cells into heart muscle
Bone marrow derived stem cells can give rise to heart muscle cells. This plasticity concept - the ability of bone marrow cell to transdifferentiate into heart muscle cell - is supported by experimental and clinical data. Another possibility is to replace the missing function by causing... view more (2004-08-30)

New approach to gene therapy may shrink brain tumors, prevent their spread
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers are investigating a new approach to gene therapy for brain tumors - delivering a cancer-fighting gene to normal brain tissue around the tumor to keep it from spreading.   view more (2008-09-26)

Impact Of Agricultural Activity On Water Resources
A group of researchers at the Navarre Public University, together with technical experts from the Navarre Provincial Government, are evaluating the impact of agricultural activity on water resources, based on a Net of Experimental Catchment Areas that the Provincial Administration has installed in... view more (2004-04-06)

Small excess risk of birth defects associated with living near landfill sites
Researchers in this week's BMJ report small excess risks of birth defects and low birth weight among people living near landfill sites in Great Britain. As 80% of the British population lives within 2km of known landfill sites, these results have important implications and further work is needed to... view more (2001-08-15)

CU researchers announce new technique for rapidly detecting illness-causing bacteria in food
Cornell University scientists have developed a rapid, less costly and sensitive new technique for detecting group A streptococcus, the bacteria that cause scarlet fever. Details will be announced today at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in New Orleans.   view more (2005-07-19)

Geologist urges seismic shift in process for selecting EarthScope study sites

NASA scientists identify smallest known black hole
Using a new technique, two NASA scientists have identified the lightest known black hole. With a mass only about 3.8 times greater than our Sun and a diameter of only 15 miles, the black hole lies very close to the minimum size predicted for black holes that originate from dying stars.   view more (2008-04-02)

Safe Heating of Explosive Gases
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has developed the micro structured gas heater MSGH for combustible or explosive media. A clear separation of the space containing the medium from the heating elements allows safe heating and overheating of process gases, gas mixtures or gas/vapour... view more (2004-06-23)

The pound is dead
WAKE up Britain-you`re already in the euro. A new analysis of data from foreign exchange markets shows that the pound sterling and the euro have always behaved as if they are the same currency.         Surprisingly, these revelations are not the work of... view more (2001-12-05)

A new method for the design and manufacture of sensors based on optic fibres
A novel method for the design and manufacture of sensors to measure the temperature and relative humidity of the air, the pH of solutions or the refractive index of liquids based on optic fibre has been devised at the Public University of Navarre. The sensors are small devices capable of capturing... view more (2003-04-25)

The Secrets of 10th Century Steel Production Unearthed In Desert Remains
Dr Dafydd Griffiths, part of the international research team from University College London, says, "These remains give a fascinating glimpse from over 1,000 years ago of a process for making crucible steel using a sophisticated furnace design. We know of no ancient metallurgical furnaces of similar... view more (1999-07-29)

Neurons find their place in the developing nervous system with the help of a sticky molecule
The brain, that exquisite network of billions of communicating cells, starts to take form with the genesis of nerve cells. Most newborn nerve cells, also called neurons, must travel from their birthplace to the position they will occupy in the adult brain.   view more (2006-04-26)

New method shows it is possible to grow bone for grafts within a patient's body
An international team of biomedical engineers has demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to grow healthy new bone reliably in one part of the body and use it to repair damaged bone at a different location.   view more (2005-07-26)

New evidence shows New Madrid Seismic Zone may be cold and dying
New results about the temperatures of rock deep below the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central United States shed light on the puzzling questions of why large earthquakes happened there in 1811 and 1812 and when they may happen again.   view more (2006-12-12)

GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
