Scientists solve cosmological puzzle
Researchers using supercomputer simulations have exposed a very violent and critical relationship between interstellar gas and dark matter when galaxies are born - one that has been largely ignored by the current model of how the universe evolved.   view more (2007-11-30)

FEWER CLINIC VISITS, REDUCED COST - A NEW MODEL FOR ANTENATAL CARE (pp 1546, 1551, 1565)
A new model for the provision of antenatal care - involving fewer clinic visits and potentially reduced healthcare costs - is proposed in this week's issue of THE LANCET with the publication of the WHO Antenatal Care Randomised Controlled Trial and an accompanying systematic review. Antenatal care... view more (2001-05-16)

University of Warwick Radio Five Live Create "GARI 2002" To Predict World Cup Games
Risk researchers at the University of Warwick have been commissioned by Radio Five to produce a statistical model designed to predict the odds of every individual match in the World Cup.
