Researchers at University at Buffalo document relationship between initial and secondary injuries in runners, revealing altered running mechanics that can lead to further joint and muscle issues. Study findings may lay groundwork for developing 'prescriptions' to prevent secondary injuries.
Scientists from the National Science Foundation and IRIS have ruled out cult activities and nuclear detonations as causes of a 1993 Australian seismic event. They now believe that an iron meteorite of about two meters in diameter could have created the tremors, but no crater has been found.
Researchers found that houseflies can harbor Helicobacter pylori bacteria on their skin and in their digestive tract for up to 30 hours after exposure. The study suggests that flies may act as vectors in the transmission of H. pylori, particularly in areas with poor sanitation.
Researchers caught Kilauea's erupting volcano in a net by analyzing GPS data, revealing the ground stretching and expanding before the rift opened. The team predicts that future analysis of similar events could enable quick warnings for lava flows, allowing people to evacuate in time.
Scientists model 1883 tsunami impact on English Bay and Homer Spit, predicting energy absorption at Anchor Point and flooding risk at Homer Spit. The model helps emergency planners understand risks and plan for potential landslides and tidal waves.
Researchers found that Conservation Reserve Program lands provide substantial breeding habitat for small grassland birds. The study suggests the program may be helping to stem decline in bird populations, with some species experiencing long-term population increases.
New data from the University of Delaware reveals that solar wind is not a simple, wave-like entity but rather a dynamic phenomenon with complex fluctuations. Understanding these fluctuations may enable prediction of cosmic disturbances and provide warnings for astronauts and utility companies.
Researchers calculate neutron star's mass by measuring X-ray pulses from innermost orbit, revealing a massive star about twice the sun's mass. The findings provide new insights into the birth and evolution of neutron stars.
Despite significant advances in cancer treatment, age-adjusted death rates from cancer have barely declined since 1991. The authors argue that resources should be redirected towards prevention and early detection, citing the challenges of changing behaviors such as smoking and diet.
The Bluff Great House in Utah has yielded new insights into the Chaco culture, with CU-Boulder students playing a key role in excavations. The site, linked to the mighty Chaco culture, features a great kiva and prehistoric roads.
