| NASA's TRMM satellite sees deadly tornadic thunderstorms in southeastern U.S. Posted: 19 Nov 2011 12:35 PM PST Tornadoes are expected to accompany severe storms in the springtime in the US, but this time of year they also usually happen. When a line of severe thunderstorms associated with a cold front swept through the US southeast on Nov. 16, TRMM collected rainfall data on the dangerous storms from space.  |
| Great Plains river basins threatened by pumping of aquifers Posted: 18 Nov 2011 12:14 PM PST Suitable habitat for native fishes in many Great Plains streams has been significantly reduced by the pumping of groundwater from the High Plains aquifer – and scientists analyzing the water loss say ecological futures for these fishes are "bleak."  |
| Corn gene boosts biofuels from switchgrass Posted: 18 Nov 2011 12:14 PM PST Introducing a special corn gene into switchgrass was found to significantly boost the viability of the switchgrass biomass as a feedstock crop for advanced biofuels. The gene, a variant of the Corngrass1 gene, holds the switchgrass in a perpetual juvenile state, more than doubling its starch content and making it easier to convert its polysaccharides into fermentable sugars.  |
| New tool saves time, reduces risk of mistakes in diabetes care Posted: 18 Nov 2011 10:30 AM PST In the fast-paced world of health care, doctors are often pressed for time during patient visits. Researchers have now developed a tool that allows doctors to view electronic information about patients' health conditions related to diabetes on a single computer screen. A new study shows that this tool, the diabetes dashboard, saves time, improves accuracy and enhances patient care.  |
| A new technique makes it possible to reduce by half the amount of salt in already desalted cod Posted: 18 Nov 2011 10:29 AM PST Researchers have achieved a 50% reduction in the amount of salt in already desalted cod, thus obtaining a final product that preserves all its sensory properties and is particularly suitable for persons with hypertension.  |
| New revolutionary material can be worked like glass Posted: 18 Nov 2011 06:12 AM PST A common feature of sailboards, aircraft and electronic circuits is that they all contain resins used for their lightness, strength and resistance. However, once cured, these resins can no longer be reshaped. Only certain inorganic compounds, including glass, offered this possibility until now. Combining such properties in a single material seemed impossible until now. Researchers have just developed a new class of compounds capable of this remarkable feat.  |
