Scientists identify possible cause of endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition whereby patches of the inner lining of the womb appear in parts of the body other than the womb cavity. It can cause severe pain and affects approximately 15% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is also associated with infertility, with 50% of infertile women affected by the condition. view more (2008-08-06)
Salty oceans provide early warning for climate change
Monitoring the saltiness of the ocean water could provide an early indicator of climate change. Significant increases or decreases in salt in key areas could forewarn of climate change in 10 to 20 years time. view more (2007-06-11)
How nature tinkers with the cellular clock
The life of a cell is all about growing and dividing at the right time. That is why the cell cycle is one of the most tightly regulated cellular processes. view more (2006-09-28)
University of the Basque Country researchers believe methane storms on Titan
The detailed exploration of Titan with space missions began a couple of years ago and the presence of bright polar clouds and dry riverbeds on this satellite of Saturn has intrigued astronomers ever since. view more (2006-07-31)
University of Warwick Wins Lottery Funds to Preserve UK Cycling Heritage
The University of Warwick has won £37,350 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to preserve a vital archive of material on the UK cycle industry and the history of cycling as a hobby. The grant will ensure the National Cycling Archive, the largest collection of cycling archives and books in the UK, is preserved. 'On yer bike', a one-year project,... view more... (2002-09-23)
2002 Stockholm Water Prize Winner Announcement
The recipient of the 2002 Stockholm Water Prize, the leading international award for outstanding achievements on behalf of the world's water, will be announced in Stockholm on March 22 in a press conference at 11.00, Central European Time. The $150,000 Stockholm Water Prize is being presented by the Stockholm Water Foundation for the 12th time.... view more... (2002-02-04)
CLIMATE CAPERS UNDER EXAMINATION - International Conference near Bremen
A new era in climate research began with the ice-core drilling in Greenland at the beginning of the nineties supplying the proof that the last Ice Age was marked by large fluctuations in temperature. Differences of up to 7°C within just a few years were not uncommon. view more (1999-10-07)
Rewind, please: Nature paper shows that cell division is reversible
Gary J. Gorbsky, Ph.D., a scientist with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has found a way to reverse the process of cell division. view more (2006-04-13)
Adding up renewable energy
Do the overall efficiencies of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal add up in terms of their complete life cycle from materials sourcing, manufacture, running, and decommissioning" Researchers in Greece have carried out a life cycle assessment to find the answer. view more (2007-08-14)
Global warming could lead to fast freeze, warns University of Ulster scientist
Dramatic climate change as a result of global warming could happen in a single lifetime - instead of being a slow process evolving over centuries, according to a University of Ulster academic. Professor Marshall McCabe of the School of Environmental Sciences said that given the right set of circumstances, "a climate can flip in a... view more... (2004-05-25)
Emissions irrelevant to future climate change?
Climate change and the carbon emissions seem inextricably linked. However, new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Carbon Balance and Management suggests that this may not always hold true, although it may be some time before we reach this saturation point. view more (2008-04-28)
Rivers are carbon processors, not inert pipelines
Microorganisms in rivers and streams play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle that has not previously been considered. view more (2008-12-02)
Novel connection found between biological clock and cancer
Dartmouth Medical School geneticists have discovered that DNA damage resets the cellular circadian clock, suggesting links among circadian timing, the cycle of cell division, and the propensity for cancer. view more (2006-06-30)
Concern over rise in pedestrian and cyclist injuries
Admission to hospital for severe injuries to young pedestrians and cyclists increased between 1992 and 1997, but admission rates for other transport injuries fell, say researchers in this week's BMJ. The study involved children up to 14 years old who were admitted to hospital for pedal cycle, pedestrian, or other transport injuries in the Trent... view more... (2003-09-10)
Internal Clock, External Light Regulate Plant Growth
Most plants and animals show changes in activity over a 24-hour cycle. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown how a plant combines signals from its internal clock with those from the environment to show a daily rhythm of growth. view more (2007-07-10)
Researchers propose new molecule to explain circadian clock
The internal clock in living beings that regulates sleeping and waking patterns -- usually called the circadian clock -- has often befuddled scientists due to its mysterious time delays. Molecular interactions that regulate the circadian clock happen within milliseconds, yet the body clock resets about every 24 hours. view more (2007-08-28)
Study finds reproductive health effects from low doses of bisphenol-A
New research from North Carolina State University and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) shows significant reproductive health effects in rats that have been exposed to bisphenol-A (BPA) at levels equivalent to or below the dose that has been thought not to produce any adverse effects. view more (2009-06-17)
Press invitation - Research And Water: Global Visions, Local Actions
Water is and has been determinant for life. Its presence and quality conditions human settlements, economic development and ecosystems. Unavoidably, industry consumes water, and waste originating from production processes often has negative impacts on the environment and on human health. As pointed out by Philippe Busquin, Commisioner for... view more... (2002-04-29)
Deep Impact and Other Spacecraft Find Clear Evidence of Water on Moon
New data from the Deep Impact spacecraft and the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), an instrument aboard India's recently ended Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, provide, for the first time, clear evidence that water exists on the surface of the Moon. view more (2009-09-25)
Linking Climate, Water and Civilisation in the Middle East and North Africa
A novel and exciting study that will provide new insights into the key relationships between climate, water availability and human activities in the semi-arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is getting under way at the University of Reading. The research will help shape our perception of the past, present and future of one of... view more... (2004-08-06)
