Automatic Transport Systems Need Different Approach
The way in which automatic transport systems are currently designed, is out of date. That is one of the conclusions of PhD student Corné Versteegt, who will defend his thesis on 15 December at TU Delft. This is important information for the transport sector, which will become more automated... view more (2004-12-15)

Thomas Bodenheimer, Clinical Professor at the Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of California at San Francisco, School of Medicine argues that commercial disease management programmes may take needed money away from actual caregiving in order to enhance companies? profits.... view more (2000-02-22)

EU supports companies in saving electricity
Companies could lower their electricity costs for Motor Driven Systems by up to 30 per cent. Many of the measures necessary to do so are profitable in less than three years. This has been shown by studies of the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe. The EU... view more (2002-10-28)

Quantum Systems Could Flout Physics Law
Scientists in the Weizmann Institute's Faculty of Chemistry, together with colleagues in Germany, have made a startling prediction: Simply 'taking the temperature' of certain quantum systems at frequent intervals might cause them to disobey a hard and fast rule of thermodynamics.   view more (2008-06-03)

Simulations unravel outer membrane transport mechanism
Using X-ray data and advanced computer simulation and visualization software, researchers at the University of Illinois have painstakingly modeled a critical part of a mechanism by which bacteria take up large molecules. Their findings provide a rare window on the complex interplay of proteins... view more (2007-06-06)

Patients with chronic illness not benefiting from advances in care
Many patients with chronic diseases are not benefiting from advances in care because of a lack of financial and staff resources, inadequate information systems, and doctors' heavy workload, argue US researchers in this week's BMJ. They assessed the extent to which evidence-based chronic care... view more (2002-10-22)

Concern for European public health as EU border extends to the east (p 1339, 1389)
Public-health experts writing in this week's issue of THE LANCET caution that the widening of the European Union (EU) to the east could have potentially adverse effects on public health - both for the new member countries, many of whom have poor health-care infrastructure, and for existing EU... view more (2004-04-21)

European space systems support management of natural and technological disasters
The European Space Agency, ESA, and the French Space Agency, CNES, signed a charter on 20 June 2000 to promote cooperation among space system operators in deploying their systems in the event of major natural or technological disasters. The charter was signed by Mr Antonio Rodot' , ESA's Director... view more (2000-06-22)

Scientists discover new method of observing interactions in nanoscale systems
Scientists have used new optical technologies to observe interactions in nanoscale systems that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle usually would prohibit, according to a study published Jan. 17 in the journal Nature.   view more (2008-01-17)

DFG Research Training Groups Become Increasingly International

RESEARCHERS TACKLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS IN A BID TO HELP BUSINESSES
The reengineering of legacy systems is a widespread and important challenge for software engineers. However, they are not an issue for software engineers alone, as Dr Ashley Lloyd of the University of Edinburgh's Management School points out: "Legacy systems which become tightly linked with,... view more (1999-06-22)

Marine pathogens spread much faster than their terrestrial counterparts
It has become increasingly clear that pathogen epidemics are as significant a component of marine systems as they are in terrestrial systems. At an National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group on Diseases in the Ocean, McCallum, Harvell and Dobson collated data on... view more (2003-11-24)
