Invasive species on the march: variable rates of spread set current limits to predictability
Whether for introduced muskrats in Europe or oak trees in the United Kingdom, zebra mussels in United States lakes or agricultural pests around the world, scientists have tried to find new ways of controlling invasive species by learning how these animals and plants take over in new environs. view more (2009-09-18)
Urgent need for investment in human resources to respond to global health crises (p 1469)
Authors of a Public Health article in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the global failure to develop the necessary human resources to deliver health-care improvements in less-developed countries requires urgent attention if the millennium goals for global health are to be achieved. Vasant Narasimhan from Harvard University, USA, and... view more... (2004-04-28)
NEXT, future generation of machine-tools
NEXT (Next Generation Production Systems) is the most ambitious research initiative ever conceived in Europe in the field of production systems. The project, led by the Basque Research Center Fatronik, has 25 European members; universities, technological centres and companies - in a number of different countries. view more (2004-11-10)
MU Researcher Investigates the Basis of Einstein's First Approximation in the Theory of Relativity
In his discussion of accelerated motion on page 60 of The Meaning of Relativity, Albert Einstein made an approximation that allowed him to develop the theory of relativity further. view more (2009-07-16)
Insect population growth likely accelerated by warmer climate
Insects have proven to be highly adaptable organisms, able through evolution to cope with a variety of environmental changes, including relatively recent changes in the world's climate. But like something out of a scary Halloween tale, new University of Washington research suggests insects' ability to adapt to warmer temperatures carries an... view more... (2006-10-31)
Invitation to integrators and vendors of PDM systems
to take a decisive step towards PDM integration Product data management (PDM) is a key technology for manufacturing industry and as such one of the central concerns of the project iViP - Innovative Technologies and Systems for the Integrated Virtual Product Creation. This project is supported with funds from the Federal Ministry for Education,... view more... (2001-06-06)
From delicious to death: Understanding taste
Despite the significance of taste to both human gratification and survival, a basic understanding of this primal sense is still unfolding. view more (2008-02-26)
Colluding with colloids: Scientists make liquid crystal discovery
What do milk, paint, ink and liquid crystals have in common? Colloids. Findings of Kent State University scientists indicate that manipulating the size of colloids, micron-sized or nanometer-sized particles, can produce huge changes in the material properties of liquid crystals. view more (2006-12-18)
Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell. view more (2007-05-04)
Getting live help on the Internet
Who has not wound up nowhere in an Internet search for information that should be available about a company, an institution, or an organization? Who has not then longed to have someone to talk to who could answer questions with no hassle or waste of time? Johan Ã"¦berg, from the Department of Computer Science at Linköping University,... view more... (2002-05-08)
Tillage, Rotation Impacts Peanut Crops
The increasing popularity of reduced tillage on crops has not only been an important development in combating soil erosion, but it has also been associated with increasing organic material and producing high crop yields. view more (2008-11-11)
The 21st century tomato

Invertebrate immune systems are anything but simple, conference finds
A hundred years since Russian microbiologist Elie Metschnikow first discovered the invertebrate immune system, scientists are only just beginning to understand its complexity. view more (2007-06-21)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
Plant protein 'doorkeepers' block invading microbes, study finds
A group of plant proteins that "shut the door" on bacteria that would otherwise infect the plant's leaves has been identified for the first time by a team of researchers in Denmark, at the University of California, Davis, and at UC Berkeley. view more (2009-06-29)
Researchers determine why wolves not dispersing as fast as expected in Yellowstone
In 1995, 14 wolves were transferred to Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. from the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with 17 more joining them the following year. view more (2006-11-02)
Discovery in the evolution of the immune system absorbing cells
Led by Dr J Oriol Sunyer, of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and formed by researchers from Philadelphia, St Louis and Idaho (USA) and by Dr LluÃs Tort of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the group has been able to show that B cells in fish as well as in amphibians are capable of strong phagocytosis... view more...
