Using combinatorial libraries to engineer genetic circuits advances synthetic biology
Streamlining the construction of synthetic gene networks has led a team of Boston University researchers to develop a technique that couples libraries of diversified components with computer modeling to guide predictable gene network construction without the back and forth tweaking. view more (2009-04-23)
Corn Yield Stability Varies with Rotations, Fertility
Understanding temporal variability in crop yields has implications for sustainable crop production, particularly since greater fluxes in crop yields are projected with global climate change. view more (2009-07-22)
Scientists synthesize memory in yeast cells
Harvard Medical School researchers have successfully synthesized a DNA-based memory loop in yeast cells, findings that mark a significant step forward in the emerging field of synthetic biology. view more (2007-09-17)
Quantum Systems Could Flout Physics Law
Scientists in the Weizmann Institute's Faculty of Chemistry, together with colleagues in Germany, have made a startling prediction: Simply 'taking the temperature' of certain quantum systems at frequent intervals might cause them to disobey a hard and fast rule of thermodynamics. view more (2008-06-03)
A fast magnetic fix for sepsis?
Sepsis, an infection of the blood, can quickly overwhelm the body's defenses and is responsible for more than 200,000 deaths per year in the U.S. alone. Premature newborns and people with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. view more (2009-03-26)
A global model for the origin of species independent of geographical isolation
The tremendous diversity of life continues to puzzle scientists, long after the 200 years since Charles Darwin's birth. view more (2009-07-20)
Carnegie Mellon technique accelerates biological image analysis
Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's Lane Center for Computational Biology have discovered how to significantly speed up critical steps in an automated method for analyzing cell cultures and other biological specimens. view more (2008-05-01)
Synthetic biology: The next biotech revolution is brewing
The safety of early applications of synthetic biology may be adequately addressed by the existing regulatory framework for biotechnology, especially in contained laboratories and manufacturing facilities. view more (2009-03-25)
Patients with chronic illness not benefiting from advances in care
Many patients with chronic diseases are not benefiting from advances in care because of a lack of financial and staff resources, inadequate information systems, and doctors' heavy workload, argue US researchers in this week's BMJ. They assessed the extent to which evidence-based chronic care management processes and computer based clinical... view more... (2002-10-22)
Less than half of medical students understand health care system
Less than half of graduating medical students in the U.S. say they received adequate training in understanding health care systems and the economics of practicing medicine. view more (2009-10-01)
Alternative approaches to marine management prove successful in reef conservation
By performing simultaneous studies of reef conservation and socioeconomic charateristics of a set of reef management systems, researchers have gained new insight into the factors that can contribute to effective marine conservation strategies. view more (2006-07-25)
Concern for European public health as EU border extends to the east (p 1339, 1389)
Public-health experts writing in this week's issue of THE LANCET caution that the widening of the European Union (EU) to the east could have potentially adverse effects on public health - both for the new member countries, many of whom have poor health-care infrastructure, and for existing EU members. In May, 2004, ten new member states... view more... (2004-04-21)
European space systems support management of natural and technological disasters
The European Space Agency, ESA, and the French Space Agency, CNES, signed a charter on 20 June 2000 to promote cooperation among space system operators in deploying their systems in the event of major natural or technological disasters. The charter was signed by Mr Antonio Rodot' , ESA's Director General, and Mr Gérard Brachet, Director... view more... (2000-06-22)
Scientists discover new method of observing interactions in nanoscale systems
Scientists have used new optical technologies to observe interactions in nanoscale systems that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle usually would prohibit, according to a study published Jan. 17 in the journal Nature. view more (2008-01-17)
First comprehensive literature-derived database of yeast interactions
Researchers have built the first comprehensive manually-generated, literature-based, database of genetic and protein interactions. view more (2006-06-08)
Light activated anticancer drug targeted to DNA using cisplatin like sub-units
One of the most effective chemotherapy drugs against cancer is cisplatin because it attaches to cancer DNA and disrupts repair. view more (2006-03-27)
Can interacting pathogens explain disease patterns?
A new study into the way in which parasites interact with each other could help predict when infectious diseases are likely to break out. view more (2007-12-13)
Scientists develope a new model of artificial canine skin
Researchers at UNIVET, a spin-off of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in cooperation with the animal nutrition company Affinity Petcare, have developed an artificial cellular model which faithfully reproduces the characteristics of dog's skin and which will allow, therefore, the carrying out of various lines of research related to... view more...

NIST measures performance of auto crash warning systems
Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed and tested a laser-based ranging system to assess the performance of automobile collision warning systems. view more (2007-11-28)
RESEARCHERS TACKLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS IN A BID TO HELP BUSINESSES
The reengineering of legacy systems is a widespread and important challenge for software engineers. However, they are not an issue for software engineers alone, as Dr Ashley Lloyd of the University of Edinburgh's Management School points out: "Legacy systems which become tightly linked with, and effectively 'lock-in', business processes... view more...
