Discovery of T-cell 'traffic control' boosts new drug promise
Scientists have begun to clarify how one of the body's molecules controls the trafficking of T cells through the blood, lymph nodes and on to tissues to fight infection - a crucial response that sometimes goes awry, attacking the body's own tissues and causing autoimmune diseases. view more (2005-07-15)

A new method for navigation at sea, independent of GPS, is being put forward in a dissertation from Linköping University. view more (2005-03-12)
Asthma linked to soot from diesel trucks in Bronx
Soot particles spewing from the exhaust of diesel trucks constitute a major contributor to the alarmingly high rates of asthma symptoms among school-aged children in the South Bronx. view more (2006-10-17)
Diesel exhaust fumes affect people with asthma, finds study on London's Oxford Street
Diesel exhaust fumes on polluted streets have a measurable effect on people with asthma, according to the first study looking at exhausts and asthma in a real-life setting, published on 6 December in the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2007-12-06)
Sign of the times
A new era of electronic message sings is set to improve in journey driver information. A 12 month trial starting October 2003 will see signs on the M4, junctions 12 to 14, offer messages incorporating images and both upper and lower case text. Highways Agency Project Sponsor Nada Svilar said: "This will be easier for drivers to read -... view more... (2003-10-01)
Study shows that sleep deprivation can negatively affect information processing
A study in the Nov.1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that sleep deprivation causes some people to shift from a more automatic, implicit process of information categorization (information-integration) to a more controlled, explicit process (rule-based). view more (2009-11-02)
A bitter pill to swallow
Two reports from TRAFFIC, the world's largest wildlife trade monitoring network, on traditional medicine systems in Cambodia and Vietnam suggest that illegal wildlife trade, including entire tiger skeletons, and unsustainable harvesting is depleting the region's rich and varied biodiversity and putting the primary healthcare resource of millions... view more...

Researchers solve mystery of how nuclear pores duplicate before cell division
Researchers have long wondered how nuclear pores - the all-important channels that control the flow of information in and out of a cell's nucleus - double in number to prepare for the split to come when a cell divides. view more (2006-04-21)
Can we be motivated not to take the car so often?
Yes, we can, according to this dissertation from Göteborg University, which deals with the impact of road tolls on car use, factors that influence attitudes to road tolls, and road tolls in comparison with other types of steering mechanisms targeting automobile use. But you have to have a positive attitude toward cutting down on car use... view more... (2004-03-12)
New brake components for specialised vehicles
A team of researchers from the Industrial Design Group at the Public University of Navarre, led by Paulino Mart'nez Landa, lecturer in the field of Engineering Projects, is currently working on the adaptation of braking systems used in automobile vehicles for application in special vehicles such as mechanical diggers, fork lift trucks,... view more...

Concordia University researcher develops image processing system that detects moods
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Dr. Prabir Bhattacharya and his computers might. He and Concordia graduate student Abu Sayeed Sohail are developing a computer image processing system that detects and classifies human facial expressions. view more (2008-12-03)
Spinal cord bridge bypasses injury to restore mobility
The body's spinal cord is like a super highway of nerves. When an injury occurs, the body's policing defenses put up a roadblock in the form of a scar to prevent further injury, but it stops all neural traffic from moving forward. view more (2006-08-21)
NC State study shows bird population estimates are flawed
Most of what we know about bird populations stems from surveys conducted by professional biologists and amateur birdwatchers, but new research from North Carolina State University shows that the data from those surveys may be seriously flawed - and proposes possible means to resolve the problem. view more (2008-11-21)
Reporting how research is contributing to inland waterway policy
For transport in the European Union (EU) the main potential barriers to sustainable socio-economic development are traffic congestion, environmental impacts, and economic costs. With accession, future enlargement and economic growth the stage is set for such problems to increase. But what can be done? view more (2005-03-22)
Wireless sensor networks offer high-tech assurance for a world wary of earthquakes

Why don't kids walk to school anymore?
Maybe when we were their age, we walked five miles to school, rain or shine. So why don't most children today walk or bike to school? view more (2008-03-27)
New '1/f noise' discovery promises to improve semiconductor-based sensors
More sensitive sensors and detectors based on semiconductor electronics could result from new findings by researchers from the United States, Norway and Russia. view more (2007-05-10)
A virtuous cycle: Safety in numbers for riders
It seems paradoxical but the more people ride bicycles on our city streets, the less likely they are to be injured in traffic accidents. view more (2008-09-03)
