The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) will present awards at the 26th Digital Avionics Systems Conference. Andrew Zeitlin and Robert Acree are being recognized for their outstanding achievements in digital avionics and information systems.
Fermilab will continue to provide opportunities for discovery in particle physics with the Tevatron and neutrino experiments. The new management structure brings together scientific leadership and management experience of the University of Chicago and URA.
Researchers found that field refuges made of non-Bt plants can prevent insects from developing resistance to Bt-engineered crops. The study demonstrated the importance of carefully managing insects within these refuges to ensure their effectiveness.
The partners aim to enhance the EPA's BASINS program by adding uncertainty and probability assessment capabilities. This will enable decision-makers to prioritize management actions that yield the best results. The collaboration also seeks to improve stakeholder involvement and promote proactive watershed management.
SPARC's Scientific Communities Initiative has awarded grants worth half a million dollars to Columbia University Press's Columbia Earthscape, the California Digital Library's eScholarship, and MIT's CogNet. The grants aim to stimulate and accelerate digital science publishing ventures based in academia.
A study found that primary care physicians rely heavily on informal consultations with subspecialists to meet patient needs, but subspecialists are concerned about the lack of information exchanged. This may indicate a lack of trust in primary care physicians' abilities to take histories and examine patients.
A new satellite tagging technology has resolved the mysteries of tuna migration, revealing that bluefin tuna can move up to 1,670 nautical miles in 90 days. The tags, deployed in 1996 and 1997, have high survivorship rates and provide valuable information for managing giant bluefin tuna populations.
Researchers from Michigan Technological University are studying the effects of landscape structure on plant species, habitat quality, and economic output in public forests. Their goal is to develop a computer model that can help land managers select timber harvesting methods for optimal biological diversity and economic sustainability....
A recent study reveals that the potato famine fungus has resurfaced 150 years after its devastating impact on Ireland, with virulent and fungicide-resistant strains causing widespread damage. Researchers have identified several options for managing the blight, including DNA fingerprinting and simplified enzyme assays.
A computer-based system aims to establish a scientific basis for equitable and sustainable water resources management. The integrated decision support system uses hydrometeorological data to simulate the response of rivers and reservoirs to different climatic inputs, water and power demands, and decision policies.
The MSX satellite has obtained two unique images of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a small companion galaxy to the Milky Way. The images reveal new details about the galaxy's structure and evolution, including hot stars, cool giant stars, and nebulae.
