Adding steroid drug to MS treatment may reduce disease activity
Using a steroid drug for multiple sclerosis (MS) in addition to an MS drug may reduce the amount of disease activity more than using the MS drug alone. view more (2009-04-30)
Archaeologists find earliest evidence of modern humans in Eastern Europe
A University of Arizona archaeologist is a member of a team of scientists that has uncovered new evidence that modern humans moved out of Africa and occupied parts of eastern Europe as early as 45,000 years ago. view more (2007-01-15)
U of M study shows physical activity reduces risk of hypertension in young adults
Young adults who spend more time participating in physical activity have a reduced risk of developing high blood pressure within the next 15 years, according to researchers at the University of Minnesota. view more (2007-04-13)
Evidence of flooding at Mangala Valles
These images of fluvial surface features at Mangala Valles on Mars were obtained by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the ESA Mars Express spacecraft. The HRSC has imaged structures several times which are related to fluvial events in the past on Mars. The region seen here is situated on the south-western Tharsis bulge and shows... view more...

Why does the same diet make some of us gain more weight than others? view more (2007-06-06)
Preparing for the Venus Express
The European Space Agency is planning its first mission to unveil the mysteries of Earth`s cloud-shrouded sister planet, Venus. On Wednesday 10 April, Professor Fred Taylor (University of Oxford) will be explaining to the UK National Astronomy Meeting why European scientists are hoping to be on board the Venus Express in 2005. Venus, the Earth`s... view more... (2002-04-03)
Climate models consistent with ocean warming observations
Climate models are reliable tools that help researchers better understand the observed record of ocean warming and variability. view more (2007-06-19)
Inactivity of proteins behind longer shelf life when freezing
Frozen biological material, for example food, can be kept for a long time without perishing. A study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, is close to providing answers as to why. view more (2009-03-03)
Hotspots or Not? Isotopes Score One for Traditional Theory
One great beauty of plate tectonics theory is that it explains so many geological phenomena at one time. But plate tectonics could not explain the location of many volcanic islands - Hawaii, the Azores or the Galapagos Islands, often called "hotspots" - far from the edge of tectonic plates. view more (2006-12-07)
No evidence that housework as part of ‘active lifestyle’ is good for health
A dose of heavy housework will meet new recommended targets for daily physical activity levels, but there is no evidence that it is good for health, finds research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Brisk walking is a much healthier option, shows the study. view more (2002-05-13)
At an underwater volcano, evidence of man's environmental impact
Scientists studying hydrothermal vents, those underwater geysers that are home to bizarre geological structures and unique marine species, have discovered something all too familiar: pollution. view more (2006-08-02)
Study suggests too much screen time and not enough physical activity may lead to childhood obesity
Childhood obesity is a growing concern for pediatricians and caregivers. In response to this problem, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) created guidelines for children regarding physical activity and screen time, which includes both watching television and playing video games. view more (2008-04-16)
Volcanoes played pivotal role in ancient ice age, mass extinction
Researchers here have discovered the pivotal role that volcanoes played in a deadly ice age 450 million years ago. Perhaps ironically, these volcanoes first caused global warming -- by releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When they stopped erupting, Earth's climate was thrown off balance, and the ice age began. view more (2009-10-27)
Sound turns solids into powder
The ancient alchemist's art of solvere et coagulare - dissolving and combining substances - evolved into an entire spectrum of modern processes. Grinding grain and baking bread are probably the most well-known. But it is not just in food processing technology, or in pharmaceuticals and the building materials industry that the condition of the... view more... (2003-04-24)
New CIESM Monograph
Human records of recent geological evolution in the Mediterranean Basin-historical and archaeological evidence. This is one of the most ambitious volumes produced yet in the young -- and already sizeable - CIESM Workshop Monograph collection. This 152 page- report, edited by Jean Mascle and Frederic Briand, is rich in thoughts, analyses,... view more... (2004-05-26)
Sedentary lifestyle in early childhood identified as major risk factor for obesity (pp 182, 211)
Research among young children in Scotland in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how the sedentary lifestyle that increases the risk of obesity-common in industrialised countries-can be apparent in children as young as three years of age. Authors of the research and of an accompanying Commentary state that public-health solutions need to be... view more... (2004-01-14)
Climate change and the rise of atmospheric oxygen
Today's climate change pales in comparison with what happened as Earth gave birth to its oxygen-containing atmosphere billions of years ago. view more (2006-03-23)
Scientists enhance Mother Nature's carbon handling mechanism
Taking a page from Nature herself, a team of researchers developed a method to enhance removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and place it in the Earth's oceans for storage. view more (2007-11-07)
Dynamic molecular mechanism to keep brain activity stable
In the brain, many types of synaptic proteins are spatio-temporally regulated to maintain synaptic activity at a constant level. view more (2009-07-13)
