Wind erosion is an emerging issue in soil conservation efforts. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have been studying wind-eroded soils since the…
The peaks of the Himalayas are a modern remnant of massive tectonic forces that fused India with Asia tens of millions of years ago. Previous estimates have…
Hotspots are areas where cultivation of peaches and other non-traditional crops has exploded over the past decade, noted Karl Zimmerer, professor and head of…
The stimulator is placed on the forehead, and it delivers electrical stimulation to the supraorbital nerve. For the study, 67 people who had an average of four…
“This increase is due to an aging baby boom generation. It will place a huge burden on society, disabling more people who develop the disease, challenging…
For 203 continuous hours, the Ohio State combustion unit produced heat from coal while capturing 99 percent of the carbon dioxide produced in the reaction.Liang-Shih Fan, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and director of Ohio State’s Clean Coal Research Laboratory, pioneered the technology called Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL), which chemically harnesses coal’s energy and efficiently contains the carbon dioxide produced before it can be released into the atmosphere….
TRAIL is a natural anti-tumor protein that suppresses tumor development during immune surveillance — the immune system's process of patrolling the body for…
A study published Feb. 6 online in the journal Kidney International, which included 100 patients who died of sudden cardiac death during their first year of…
Researchers from San Francisco State University found that nitrogen entering the ocean — whether through natural processes or pollution — boosts the growth…
Natural selection is a process whereby heritable traits that enhance survival become more common in successive generations, while unfavorable heritable traits…
The findings are available online in Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. The researchers tracked the long-term drinking behavior of more than 39,000…
When a pathogen attacks a plant, infection usually follows after the plant's immune system is compromised. A team of researchers at the University of…
Though several models predict this behavior and evidence from supernovae points in this direction, actually observations of such pre-explosion outbursts have…
“The punch line is very simple: Conformity leads to positive feelings, attachments, solidarity — and these are what motivate people to continue their…
They are working together in the research project known as “Circuit Diagram-Based Design of MEMS for Applications in Optics and Robotics” – or MEMS2015 for…
