NASA Sees 2004's Hurricane Charley Slice A Florida Island
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), NASA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are studying the effects of 2004's Hurricane Charley on Florida's Captiva Island, as part of a cooperative research project investigating coastal change. Major New UNC-based Drinking Water Study Suggests Pregnancy Fears May
Fears that chemical byproducts resulting from purifying drinking water with chlorine boost the chances that pregnant women will miscarry were not supported by the results of a major new study. If such threats exist at all, which is uncertain, they likely are modest, it concludes. Weight-based Dosing Of Ribavirin Improves Outcomes For Patients With H
Patients with hepatitis C treated with combination therapy of pegylated interferon and ribavirin had better outcomes when taking a weight-based dosage of ribavirin compared to a flat dosage. Economical And Cleaner Cars With Lean-burn Catalytic Converter
A Dutch researcher has taken a careful look at the properties of a new type of catalytic converter found in cars. For this so-called NOx Storage Reduction catalytic converter the fuel is alternately combusted in the engine under oxygen-rich (lean) and fuel-rich (rich) conditions. Such diesel engines and "lean-burn"petrol engines are more economical than conventional engines. Soil Fungi Linked To Insect-Associated Decline Of Resistant Grape Root
Although the destructive phylloxera insects have been reported feeding on grape rootstocks in several declining Northern California vineyards, the cause of the damage appears to be fungal activity rather than the loss of rootstock resistance, report researchers at the University of California, Davis. Success Controlling Medfly
A lure developed by the Agricultural Research Service and Suterra LLC is helping keep the Mediterranean fruit fly out of the United States and giving other countries an effective, environmentally friendly control method. More Than Half The US Population Is Sensitive To One Or More Allergens

New GM Mosquito Sexing Technique Is Step Towards Malaria Control, Repo
Scientists have genetically modified male mosquitoes to express a glowing protein in their gonads, in an advance that allows them to separate the different sexes quickly.
Simple Method To Create Natural Drug Products Developed
Until now, only the intricate machinery inside cells could take a mix of enzyme ingredients, blend them together and deliver a natural product with an elaborate chemical structure such as penicillin. Researchers have for the first time demonstrated the ability to mimic this process outside of a cell. Researchers Seed, Heat And Grow Carbon Nanotubes In Long Tubing
In less than 20 minutes, researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) can now seed, heat and grow carbon nanotubes in 10-foot-long, hollow thin steel tubing.
