Comprehensive model is first to map protein folding at atomic level
Scientists at Harvard University have developed a computer model that, for the first time, can fully map and predict how small proteins fold into three-dimensional, biologically active shapes.   view more (2006-11-07)

Scripps-led Global Ocean Warming Research Paper Published in Science
Research led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, that describes the first clear evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans will be published June 2, 2005, in the peer-reviewed journal Science.   view more (2005-06-03)

Batch control makes chemical reactions easier to manage
Two Dutch researchers have developed a method for managing so-called batch productions. During a batch production, substances react in a reactor vessel according to a certain recipe to produce an end product. After the reaction the reactor is emptied and a new reaction with the same recipe is... view more (2004-04-13)

Resilience concepts poised to aid management of coastal marine ecosystems
The January 2008 issue of BioScience includes a special section entitled "Managing for Resilience in Coastal Marine Ecosystems." The four articles in the section highlight different aspects of attempts to incorporate modern concepts from mathematical ecology into ecosystem-based... view more (2008-01-02)

1 in 7 cases of bird flu could be prevented by closing schools in event of pandemic
Closing schools in the event of a flu pandemic could slow the spread of the virus and prevent up to one in seven cases, according to a new study published today in the journal Nature.   view more (2008-04-10)

In the first second of Creation
At the very beginning of the Universe both forms of matter existed in equal amounts. They should have cancelled themselves out leaving just energy. But, within a second, something happened to ensure that matter prevailed - and that the Universe could develop in the way that it did. BaBar should... view more (1999-06-11)

On the track of tiny larvae, a new model elucidates connections in marine ecology
A computer model newly developed by researchers combines ocean current simulations and genetic forecasting to help scientists predict animal dispersion patterns and details of the ecology of coral reefs across the Caribbean Sea.   view more (2006-08-22)

Revolutionary technology bringing fish to the desert
The world-first project will help to provide people living in barren regions with a vital source of protein and a valuable, if unlikely, cash crop. The intensive fish-growing system being developed can be set up anywhere in the world. Environmental geochemist Michael Krom is co-ordinating the... view more (1999-02-12)

What happens when ice melts?
How molecules are linked together to form liquid water is the subject of a groundbreaking study due to appear Thursday, Apr. 1 in Science magazine's advance publication web site Science Express. The investigation entitled The Structure of the First Coordination Shell in Liquid Water summarizes the... view more (2004-04-02)

Research promising for cystic fibrosis
New U of T research holds promise for developing innovative therapies against cystic fibrosis and may also serve as a model for future therapies against the HIV virus.   view more (2008-03-19)

Looking beyond biodiversity to explain community invasibility
Most existing experimental and theoretical studies suggest that diversity is an effective barrier to plant invasion. However, these studies may be limited in their generality, because they involve relatively small numbers of species or examine only short time periods. To evaluate how invasions are... view more (2004-02-05)

Model to study age-related macular degeneration could pave way for better treatment
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have created the first animal model of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) caused by a mutation known to produce disease in people, an important first step in developing treatments.   view more (2007-10-10)

Researchers call for better public health campaigns to control and eliminate river blindness
River blindness is a disease transmitted by biting flies, affecting areas such as West Africa, Nigeria, Congo, the Central African Republic and Central and South America, and causing significant health problems for at least 18 million people.   view more (2005-10-12)

Improved estimates of population extinction risk (Harding and McNamara)
An important application of theoretical ecology is in estimation of species extinction risk. Extinction models guide the selection of management regimes for endangered species. Two vital parameters in these models are the mean population growth rate and its variance. However, empirical data on... view more (2003-12-10)

Unravelling the risk for schizophrenia: Eye movement and attention focus of new study
A Binghamton University researcher has established a new framework to help determine whether individuals might be at risk for schizophrenia.   view more (2007-02-21)

Tool helps doctors tailor infertility treatments for couples
Physicians must consider a number of variables when treating couples who cannot naturally conceive because of factors involving both the woman and man.   view more (2006-02-23)

Catalyst mystery unlocked
Different keys are not supposed to fit the same lock, but in biological systems multiple versions of a catalyst all make a reaction go, according to a new study that explains the phenomenon.   view more (2008-08-19)

New model may better predict outcomes for children with autism and autistic spectrum disorders
A new classification tool may allow healthcare professionals treating children with autism and autism-related disorders to more systematically sort out the combination of traits in the condition, and to better predict how children may improve over time.   view more (2005-07-05)

Clear view of the clouds will bring better weather forecasts
Accurately forecasting rain will be easier thanks to new insights into clouds from a study led by the University of Leeds and UCL (University College London).   view more (2005-08-11)

UCLA develops new model to predict the spread of a 'super-bug' in L.A. county jail
Researchers at UCLA have developed a mathematical model that mimics a particularly nasty and ongoing outbreak in the Los Angeles County Jail (LACJ) of the flesh eating bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus.   view more (2007-08-16)

Combining math and medicine to treat leukemia
Researchers have produced a mathematical model that may lead to the development of an optimally-timed vaccine for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).   view more (2008-06-20)

Delft University of Technology research might prevent asphalt damage
Repairing asphalt damage caused by water infiltration costs a great deal of money and produces extra traffic delays.   view more (2007-06-06)

Carnegie Mellon researchers to curb CO2 emissions
Carnegie Mellon University's Chris T. Hendrickson and H. Scott Matthews along with Alex Carpenter and Heather MacLean of the University of Toronto challenge Canadian officials to take the lead in eliminating dangerous carbon dioxide emissions that fuel global warming.   view more (2008-04-03)

Discovery Prospects at the Large Hadron Collider
Will scientists ever find the elusive Higgs particle, the last of the fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and postulated to play a major role in how fundamental particles get their masses?   view more (2006-04-25)

How parachute spiders invade new territory
Researchers have developed a new model that explains how spiders are able to 'fly' or 'parachute' into new territory on single strands of silk — sometimes covering distances of hundreds of miles over open ocean.   view more (2006-07-12)
