Time spent in car drives up air pollution exposure
The daily commute may be taking more of a toll than people realize. A new study by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) and the California Air Resources Board found that up to half of Los Angeles residents' total exposure to harmful air pollutants occurs while people are traveling in their vehicles. view more (2007-10-31)
NHS dentistry in crisis as UK lags behind Europe and US
The shortage of NHS dentists in the UK is dramatically illustrated this week by an article published in International Journal of Health Geographics. The 'traffic light' maps show shockingly low numbers of NHS dentists across England and Wales, with only 26 of the 304 English primary care trusts and none of the Welsh local health boards comparing... view more...

Euroabstracts, December 2002: Denmark cranks up the research machine
European research co-ordination is designed to raise productivity, and so is the reform programme under way in Denmark research. It is a small country which in many ways overperforms on the global scale - being for example a world leader in wireless telephony research - but it also has weak areas. One of these is in knowledge services, which... view more... (2002-12-10)
Ultraviolet radiation induced flux of nitrogen oxides from pine needles
In the latest edition of Nature (March 13th, 2003) a group of scientist led by professor Pertti Hari from the University of Helsinki presents a novel observation: ultraviolet radiation induced a flux of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from pine needles to the atmosphere. This result is interesting because nitrogen oxides participate in several essential... view more... (2003-03-14)
A Penn physics study: Of traffic jams, beach sands and the zero-temperature jamming transition
Researchers in condensed matter physics at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago have created an experimental and computer model to study how jamming, the physical process in which collections of particles are crammed together to behave as solids, might affect the behavior of systems in which thermal motion is important,... view more...

Hebrew University Scientist Co-directing European Research Project For Internet Of Future
As the volume of "traffic" on the Internet grows at an enormous rate - estimates are that it is doubling every year - scientists in several countries have begun working to measure this incremental growth and to devise methods for more efficient means for future networking. One major project is EVERGROW, a European Union-funded program... view more... (2004-03-15)
New advances in detection and identification technology from Oxford University
Increasingly, industry demands technologies that enable detection and identification of targets, ranging from information for traffic tolling and airspace management to patient supervision in hospitals, security passes and stock control. Researchers at Oxford University's Department of Engineering Science have developed new retroreflectors that... view more... (2002-07-01)
Success for the first trans-african flight with EGNOS
A pioneering flight from Dakar to Mombasa using the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), the European satellite navigation system that corrects and improves GPS data, was a complete success. Africa was crossed at its widest part with a plane using this accurate and guaranteed positioning system provided by the EGNOS test... view more... (2005-05-25)
Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. view more (2007-01-31)
Guidelines needed to prevent spread of infection in European hospitals
National and European guidelines to control the spread of vancomycin resistant enterococci should be drawn up before these bacteria become endemic in European hospitals, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Vancomycin resistant bacteria have a low virulence but can cause serious infections in transplant patients or those in intensive care units.... view more... (2002-03-13)
Experimental bus-tram on test
In 2003, an experimental 24-metre-long bus with independent control and drive to all its axles will be introduced in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. NWO's Technology Foundation STW is financing research at Eindhoven University of Technology into a sophisticated electronic guidance system. This will ensure that the new vehicle runs comfortably, rather... view more... (2001-07-26)
Low levels of contamination also influence mortality rate
Navarre doctor Rosa Mar'a Al'¡s Brun has shown, in her PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre, that, despite contamination rates in Pamplona being very low, these still have an influence on death rates. view more (2004-08-20)
Got Sugar? Glucose Affects Our Ability to Resist Temptation
New research from a lab at Florida State University reveals that self-control takes fuel-- literally. When we exercise it, resisting temptations to misbehave, our fuel tank is depleted, making subsequent efforts at self-control more difficult. view more (2007-12-04)
