A New Vision For Human Security (p 1665)
This week's editorial discusses the implications for global health on a recently published report by the Commission on Human Security-which defines security in terms of human development, human rights, and democracy-and highlights WHO's vital future role in ensuring the report is implemented. The report states that "poverty-related health... view more... (2003-05-14)
UAB Scientists break the hard drive miniaturisation limit
Magnetic memory-based information storage systems are getting smaller and smaller, while their capacities are getting larger. However, there is a limit to how small they can get. If the tiny magnets used to store information are smaller than around five nanometres (millionths of a millimetre), vibrations caused by temperature can erase their... view more... (2003-07-10)
Chalmers first with integrated receiver for high frequency applications
As the first research group in the world, researchers at Chalmers have succeeded in combining a receiver for high frequencies with an antenna on a small chip. view more (2007-11-29)
Company Environmental Management Systems cannot be trusted to displace regulation - not yet
The certification of environmental management systems (EMSs) must be improved if they are to become robust enough to replace inspection by a public sector regulator, warns a paper published jointly by the Policy Studies Institute and the Environment Agency. Having good environmental practices bolsters corporate reputation and consequently many... view more... (2003-08-12)
New perspective on brain function now possible
A newly started research collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and AstraZeneca has already generated results. For the first time, the conditions have been created to study one of the brain's most important neurotransmission systems - the glutamate system - in living people. view more (2007-05-30)
Scientists Unlock Possible Aging Secret in Genetically Altered Fruit Fly
Brown University researchers have identified a cellular mechanism that could someday help fight the aging process. view more (2009-01-23)
Scientists discover genetic key to growing hardier, more productive plants
A team of scientists led by University of Connecticut plant biologist Roberto Gaxiola has discovered an overlooked genetic key to generating plants that are more productive, more drought resistant and can grow in soils low in nutrients. view more (2005-10-07)
Derrida`s deconstruction to help safety industry
A technique used by academics to analyse poetry may soon help industry to find out whether computer safety systems really ARE safe. In a novel example of interdisciplinary academic work, English literature meets computing science in an project to design a decision-making framework for the safety industry. Newcastle University researcher Jim... view more... (2002-01-28)
Engineering chimeric polypeptides to illuminate cellular redox states
UIUC interdisciplinary team reports the design of chimeric polypeptides leading to development of noninvasive biosensors for potential application in biomedical research. view more (2008-01-24)
Oregon researchers show how resident bacteria shape gut development
University of Oregon researchers have shown that bacteria residing in the intestine shape gut development by means of several distinct signaling mechanisms. view more (2006-06-22)
Universally Speaking, Earthlings Share a Nice Neighborhood
We don't have spacecraft to take us outside our solar system--not yet, at least. Still, astronomers thought they had a pretty good understanding of how our solar system formed and in turn, how others formed. view more (2008-08-11)
Uniqema invests £12 million in new Helix SAP system
Uniqema has invested £12 million ($19 million) in an ambitious project to standardise and upgrade its IT operation in Europe. Codenamed Helix, the project involved aligning the company's IT strategy by replacing 83 legacy systems with a single SAP system. Uniqema was formed by the merger of five existing ICI businesses and had the challenge... view more... (2003-04-01)
Progress slow in improving hospitals' patient safety systems
While there has been some improvement in patient safety systems at hospitals, progress has been slow and the current systems are not close to meeting certain recommendations, according to a study in the December 14 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-12-14)
Role of protein in immune response may aid HIV research
A family of proteins that serve as the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections may provide a lifeline for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest. view more (2006-07-31)

Key to longer life (in flies) lies in just 14 brain cells
Two years ago, Brown University researchers discovered something startling: Decrease the activity of the cancer-suppressing protein p53 and you can make fruit flies live significantly longer. view more (2007-09-21)
FISA-99 Symposium EU Research in Reactor SAfety 29 November - 1 December 1999, Luxembourg
Nowadays in the European Union, the ultimate goal of nuclear reactor safety is to render extensive evacuation precautions for populations in the vicinity of the site "practically" unnecessary. This essentially means developing safety systems and operational procedures to respond to the challenge of hypothetical severe accidents, which are... view more... (1999-11-16)
Internal Clock, External Light Regulate Plant Growth
Most plants and animals show changes in activity over a 24-hour cycle. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown how a plant combines signals from its internal clock with those from the environment to show a daily rhythm of growth. view more (2007-07-10)
Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth
To date, understanding the roles of uncharacterized enzymes in cell physiology and pathology has remained problematic. view more (2006-10-23)
