Ferries that connect Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are taking on another role-research vessels. view more (2006-08-30)
Simulated crop provides answer to irrigation issues
South Asia has witnessed a rapid growth in rice and wheat production that has defined the Green Revolution there. During the past 30 years, the Indian Punjab has transformed its agriculture through new technology that provides for high-producing plants, increased fertilization, and irrigation. view more (2007-07-13)
How does sodium phosphate combined with bisacodyl affect small intestine?
Capsule endoscopy is a well accepted tool for evaluation of small bowel pathologies (e.g., bleeding sources). However, it has some limitations due to restricted recording time and reduced visibility by air and residual material. view more (2008-05-21)

Agriculture of Conservation proves to be best for cereal crops in Navarre
The application of conservation agriculture techniques to cereal crops in the semiarid zones of Navarre-57% of the surface area given over to crop cultivation in Navarre, is most profitable for conventional agriculture and improves the quality of the soil, apart from contributing to the sustainability of the environment. view more (2005-11-29)
Managing an ocean of information to monitor coastal environments
Europe's coastlines are exposed to risk of pollution. I-MARQ's prototype Geographical Information System (GIS) delivers detailed information on coastal water quality, helping decision makers shore up defences by taking appropriate action against contamination. view more (2004-12-21)
Water recycling in the textile finishing industry
The treatment and recycling of colored wastewater from dyestuffs producing and textile finishing industries have always been a non-trivial problem for the sewage engineering sector. The recycling of process water of textile mills is often hindered by remaining colour of azo-dyes after conventional wastewater treatment. Because of rising costs of... view more... (2002-11-22)

Sugar coupled to protein causes kidneys to save water
Several new mechanisms that are important for the production and transport of water channels to the cell surface of kidneys have been identified by a Dutch researcher. The water channels ensure that water in the body is reused. If these fail to work properly, you urinate too much and dehydrate. The research was a collaborative project between the... view more...
