A state-of-the-art treatment program developed at Yale School of Medicine increases survival from the aggressive uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) and spares some patients the need for additional therapy. Building Green For Less Green: Design Team Plans Lower-cost, Energy-ef
In construction, affordable and green are often contradictory terms. What makes for an environmentally conscious building -- such as the use of natural building materials or systems to generate alternative forms of energy -- often also makes for an expensive one, leaving sustainable design a choice only a few can afford. A team of faculty, students and community organizations, however, is out to construct a new reality: green housing that doesn't require as much up-front expense. High Risk Of Major Tsunami In Northern Caribbean: Over 35 Million Coul
The potential for devastating tsunamis in the northern Caribbean is high, say marine scientists, based on their analysis of historical data since the arrival of Columbus. Several natural phenomena could trigger giant tsunamis, they say, with effects felt in the islands of the Greater and Lesser Antilles and along the east and Gulf coasts of the United States. Recognition, Identification And Tracking Systems Under Development To
The development of fast and accurate computer algorithms for the automated recognition, identification, classification and tracking of targets of interest is underway. It is expected to have many applications such as chemical agent monitoring, weather and hurricanes tracking and monitoring and explosive detection at the battlefield. The project also aims to develop unmanned air vehicle sensor nodes and a wireless sensor network test bed for the Air Force. Google Guide: Calculator

Sexual Problems Of Long-term Cancer Survivors Merit More Attention
Long-term female survivors of genital-tract cancer were pleased with their cancer care but not with the emotional support and information they received about the effects of the disease and treatment on their sexuality. Three out of five said their physicians never brought up the effects on sexuality. Women who did report such a conversation were much less likely to have "complex sexual problems"at the time of the survey. Observing Einstein's Gravitational Waves
A hundred years ago, Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity. The joint ESA-NASA "LISA"mission hopes to detect gravitational waves in space. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, whose launch is envisaged for 2013, will use laser interferometers - very sensitive tools to measure tiny variations in the distance between objects -- and proof masses on board three spacecraft flying in formation.
