For the first time, research has shown that fishing can promote boom and bust swings in supplies of targeted fish stocks. view more (2006-10-19)
New Tools Developed for Studying Neurodegenerative Brain Disorders
Penn State researchers have created an elegantly simple model of an axon-the extension of a neuron that communicates with other neurons-and have used this model to reproduce a change in the axon's shape that is characteristic of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. view more (2006-03-22)
Flood-plagued York threatened by drying out
York's world-renowned archaeological remains are in danger - of drying out. The problem also threatens to cause roads to buckle, sewers collapse and subterranean gases leak into the air, unless a team from Leeds geography department can discover the effect of flood defences and new building in and around the city. York's flooding problem is well... view more... (2004-02-23)
Virus named as possible factor in honey bee disorder
A comparison of healthy and unhealthy bee colonies points to a virus contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), according to a report being published by the journal Science, at the Science Express web site, on 06 September. Science is published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society. view more (2007-09-07)

Global warming could halt ocean circulation, with harmful results
Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent probability of this occurring in this century. view more (2005-12-08)
