Brain system serves as 'remote control' for fat metabolism
A system in the brain already known to regulate food intake also serves as a direct "remote control" for the way fat is stored and metabolized in the body, say University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers. view more (2007-09-21)
Color sensors for better vision
The car of the future will have lots of smart assistants onboard - helping to park the car, recognize traffic signs and to warn the driver of blind spot hazards. view more (2009-10-06)
Figuring out green power -- MSU scientists speed up discovery of plant metabolism genes
Michigan State University researchers are dramatically speeding up identification of genes that affect the structure and function of chloroplasts, which could lead to plants tailored specifically for biofuel production or delivering high levels of specific nutrients. view more (2009-02-13)
Technology in ship's bridges can lead to accidents
Technological aids designed to prevent accidents at sea sometimes have the opposite effect as a contributory factor in collisions and groundings. In a new dissertation from Linköping University in Sweden it is proposed that cognitive and social aspects should be in focus in the design of conning bridges, rather than technology and components.... view more...

Youths see all parental control negatively when there's a lot of it
A new study has found that young people feel differently about two types of parental control, generally viewing a type of control that's thought to be better for their development more positively. view more (2009-11-13)
Carnegie Mellon scientists develop method for verifying safety of computer-controlled devices
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science have developed a new method for systematically identifying bugs in aircraft collision avoidance systems, high-speed train controls and other complex, computer-controlled devices, collectively known as cyber-physical systems (CPS). view more (2009-04-21)
Beijing restrictions offer case study in emissions of key atmospheric gases
The Chinese government's restrictions on Beijing motorists during a three-day conference last November -- widely viewed as a dress rehearsal for efforts to slash smog and airborne pollutants during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing -- succeeded in cutting the city's emissions of one important class of atmospheric gases by an impressive 40... view more...

Interoperable electronic tolling for Europe's roads
Imagine driving from Sweden to Spain and never having to stop to pay a toll. That scenario could soon become a reality thanks in part to the work of PISTA, which has validated a new European standard for interoperable electronic fee collection (EFC) systems. view more (2004-11-02)
Carbon monoxide linked to heart problems in elderly
Exposure to carbon monoxide, even at levels well below national limits, is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for the elderly with heart problems, according to a study published today in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-09-01)
Poor diabetes control linked to pregnancy complications
Women with poorly controlled diabetes during early pregnancy run an increased risk of their baby being malformed, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-27)
Exposures to metals and diesel emissions in air linked to respiratory symptoms in children
Exposure shortly after birth to ambient metals from residential heating oil combustion and particles from diesel emissions are associated with respiratory symptoms in young inner city children. view more (2009-11-24)
Rural roads dangerous for young drivers
Results from Australia's largest study of young drivers have shown that they are at significant risk of crash on rural roads. According to researchers from The George Institute, young drivers living in rural areas are more likely to be involved in serious crashes than those in urban areas. view more (2009-09-22)
An angry heart can lead to sudden death, Yale researchers find
Before flying off the handle the next time someone cuts you off in traffic, consider the latest research from Yale School of Medicine researchers that links changes brought on by anger or other strong emotions to future arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrests, which are blamed for 400,000 deaths annually. view more (2009-02-25)
Yale computer scientists devise a 'P4P' system for efficient Internet usage
A Yale research team has engineered a system with the potential for making the Internet work more efficiently, in which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software providers can work cooperatively to deliver data. view more (2008-05-28)
Geographers aim to make Notting Hill Carnival safer
Crowd safety levels at Notting Hill Carnival could be improved this year following research from geographers at University College London, working with traffic planners from the Intelligent Space Partnership. The team have developed a new method of modelling and predicting crowd behaviour. New technology has been used to predict problem areas and... view more... (2002-08-16)
New report: Explosive growth changes salmon industry
A new report, the first to take a comprehensive look at market competition between wild and farmed salmon, sheds new light on the contentious and complex issues surrounding farmed and wild salmon. view more (2007-03-08)
Bigger is smarter
When it comes to estimating the intelligence of various animal species, it may be as simple measuring overall brain size. In fact, making corrections for a species' body size may be a mistake. view more (2007-05-21)
Vaccine-producing 'plant-factories'
A research team at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas (CSIC) has discovered a new route for the transport of proteins in plant cells, a discovery that will enable the biotechnological design of plant factories. Amongst other applications, these can be used to produce oral vaccines which, upon being ingested, will be able to... view more... (2006-11-08)
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Electronic commands passed from machine to machine over data networks increasingly drive today's precisely timed and sequenced manufacturing production lines. view more (2008-04-03)
Biocontrol of wavyleaf thistle being studied in Texas
Wavy leaf thistle was difficult to find along Panhandle highways five years ago. But now the noxious weed can be found moving into pastures, said a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher. view more (2006-11-29)
