Using 'minutiae' to match fingerprints can be accurate
A study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows that computerized systems that match fingerprints using interoperable minutiae templates-mathematical representations of a fingerprint image-can be highly accurate as an alternative to the full fingerprint image. view more (2006-03-21)

Gene duplication allowed pigs to have more babies
With increasing numbers of whole genomes being sequenced, researchers are keen to analyse the functions of the genes they contain and the proteins these genes encode. Yet, according to researchers writing in BMC Biology, to fully understand any genome, researchers must use palaeontology, geology and chemistry to help them discover the reasons why... view more...

Is Biology Fieldwork In Schools Following The Dodo?
Biology fieldwork could be heading for extinction according to a report to be published on Friday 18 October by the Field Studies Council and the British Ecological Society. This loss of opportunity would rob young people of the rich personal benefits of out of school experiences as well as the educational value of such trips. Professor John Grace... view more...

Organic corn: Increasing rotation complexity increases yields
While demand for organic meat and milk is increasing by about 20% per year in the United States, almost all organic grain and forage to support these industries in the mid-Atlantic region is imported from other regions. To meet this demand locally, area farmers need information on expected crop yields and effective management options. view more (2008-05-29)
Nanotechnology for Space Applications
Ever more fastidious missions for the scientific investigation of space as well as the increasing use of satellite-based services require the development of more efficient, more economical and more resistant space technologies and systems in the future. A study of the VDI Technology Center on behalf of the German Aerospace Center points out, that... view more... (2003-04-14)

A new approach for better telecoms systems
Heidelberg. In September, an EU project co-ordinated by Eurescom started, which is as abstract as it is important: IST project MODA-TEL aims at nothing less than delivering blueprints for more effective telecoms systems. Telecoms services depend on a reliable network infrastructure. Ever more, telecoms systems are based on complex software.... view more... (2002-10-11)
Young teens really are shortsighted, but don't blame impulsivity
