Fragmented Structure Of Seafloor Faults May Dampen Effects Of Earthqua
Many earthquakes in the deep ocean are much smaller in magnitude than expected. Geophysicists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have found new evidence that the fragmented structure of seafloor faults, along with previously unrecognized volcanic activity, may be dampening the effects of these quakes. Researchers Track Program's Success In Curbing Aggressive Behavior
When Laura Bush visited an inner city Baltimore classroom earlier this month, she observed first-grade students playing a game that promotes good behavior as they worked on a reading assignment. Turns out the game works -- keeping the students from violent behavior long into adolescence. Nanowire 'Barcode' System Speeds Up Bio Detection In The Field
Detecting biowarfare agents in the field will become a lot easier thanks to a new barcode system based on biosensing nanowires developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers. Young Leukemia And Lymphoma Patients Live Longer Today Than In Years P
A new analysis has found that adolescents and young adults who were recently diagnosed with blood-related cancers have better long-term survival rates than those who were diagnosed in the 1980s. DOE Should Consider Enhancing Cleanup And Stabilization, National Acad
Tanks containing radioactive waste at the U.S. Department of Energy Savannah River Site, a nuclear weapons facility in South Carolina, should not necessarily be sealed as soon as the bulk of the waste has been removed, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Academies' National Research Council. Haiti earthquake: Converting shipping containers into emergency housin
Resources to solve the housing crisis in Haiti may already be on hand. Some researchers have been experimenting with ways to convert shipping containers into emergency housing in the hurricane-prone Caribbean, where a surplus of the sturdy boxes often sits in port yards.

Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Rolls-Royce Acquires License To Use Iowa State Discovery That Improves
Rolls-Royce Corp. has acquired exclusive rights to use a coating invented by Iowa State University researchers that helps turbines stand up to the heat in jet engines. The unique bond coating will be applied to engine turbine blades made of nickel-based superalloys. Those superalloys are designed for strength but need help withstanding metal temperatures approaching 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit inside the hot section of a jet engine. Transmission Of Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria Linked To Previous Inten
Staying in a room in the intensive care unit (ICU) previously occupied by a patient with treatment-resistant bacteria may increase the odds of acquiring such bacteria, according to a report in the October 9 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Restoration Of A Habitat-forming Species Could Nurture The Return Of M
Coral reefs, kelp forests, marshes and other familiar habitats can harbor a diversity of life by providing shelter from both harsh conditions and predators. New experimental work using cordgrass habitats suggests those positive effects of living habitats are the most important factor in driving the diversity and abundance of organisms in many ecosystems. The researchers suggest that facilitation cascades could be tapped to aid conservation efforts.
