Robert Whittlesey and John Dabiri of the California Institute of Technology have developed a potentially more efficient wind farm design that maximizes the efficiency of land usage. They based their a...
Physics and Astronomy |The researchers will present their work next week at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society's (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics will take place from November 22-24 at the Minneap...
Medical Engineering |"Voice disorders affect 30 percent of the general population and up to 60 percent of educators," says Plesniak. "The objective of our work is to develop a detailed understanding of the ...
Physics and Astronomy |Curiously enough, the failure arises when the insulin-producing "beta" cells, located in the pancreas, themselves fail to import insulin properly. Similar failures throughout the body, produ...
Life Sciences |Protons from the 30-GeV Main Ring synchrotron were directed onto a carbon target, where their collisions produced charged particles called pions. These pions travelled through a helium-filled volume w...
Physics and Astronomy |VIDEO ALERT: Additional audio and video resources,including excerpts from an interview with Dr. Shanafelt describing the research, are available on the Mayo Clinic News Blog. In the confid...
Studies and Analyses |Because most forested areas are in mountainous regions, 40% of U.S. forests are in landslide hazard areas. Thus, the interaction between soil development and mass wasting is critical to understanding ...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |Economically viable production of a perennial grass monoculture from which substantial quantities of biomass are removed annually is expected to require nitrogen fertilizer.An agronomist at Ok...
Agricultural and Forestry Science |The study recommends protection of the swamp forests adjacent to the southwest border of Lac Télé Community Reserve after recent surveys confirmed that high densities of the great apes still exist in ...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation |But new research from the University of Washington shows this is not likely to be true. Algae provide a much richer diet for fish and other aquatic life, according to research published this week in t...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation |A clockwise circulating beam was established in the LHC’s 17-mile-diameter ring on Nov. 20, ending more than a year of repairs to the huge underground laboratory. It is now ready to begin creating hig...
Physics and Astronomy |Need another reason to watch your weight this holiday season? Losing weight could help ward off urinary tract infections (UTI), according to a recent study. So, in addition to eating cranberry sauce t...
Studies and Analyses |Consumer spending, the engine that fueled economic growth for the past two decades is "out of gas" according to Fazzari. "I continue to worry that the household sector cannot support gr...
Business and Finance |One of the main challenges of computed tomography (CT) is to provide excellent image quality while exposing patients to the lowest possible dose of radiation. Reductions in dose application typically ...
Medical Engineering |Human as well as most living organisms on earth possess circadian a (24-hour) life rhythm. This rhythm is generated from an internal clock that is located in the brain and regulates many bodily functi...
