Mammals have evolved a complex system for controlling bone remodelling. Babies require calcium for healthy bones and they obtain it from their mother's milk. Nursing mothers release calcium from ...
Life Sciences |WCS says the report will help inform Russian officials of what needs to be done to protect remaining populations of the world’s biggest cat. The report was released by the Siberian Tiger Monit...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation |Their experiments in mice revealed that the daily waxing and waning of thousands of genes in the liver—the body’s metabolic clearinghouse—is mostly controlled by food intake and not by the body’s circ...
Life Sciences |Sanderson, who published an essay with a similarly dire assertion in 2002, concludes these seven years later: “There have been landmark foreign policy acts in the past that managed to satisfy both dom...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation |A team of scientists from Münster and the USA have now been able to show for the first time how green algae protect themselves against such damage. The journal "Nature" carries a report on t...
Life Sciences |With its new Sirius Modular System for industrial controls, Siemens has succeeded not only in cutting down on the amount of wiring work but also in reducing space requirement in the control panel. At ...
Machine Engineering |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 |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 |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 |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...
Life Sciences |Capitalizing on their previous work to decode the genome of the poplar tree, the research team examined how poplar trees use their 45,000 genes to respond to drought. Campbell and PhD student ...
