There is limited evidence on technologies to diagnose patients with acute cardiac ischemia in emergency departments. But an Acute Cardiac Ischemia Time-Insensitive Predictive Instrument -- an electrocardiogram add-on -- can allow emergency departments to appropriately diagnose ACI and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations.
Two astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin, working with an international team of collaborators, have shown that they can provide reliable measurements of black hole masses for active galactic nuclei such as quasars even at great distances.
Professor of engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, has received the $450,000 Japan Prize for his discoveries of the materials critical to the development of lightweight rechargeable batteries.
Bioinformatics experts from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (USA) and the European Media Laboratory (Germany) have joined forces to develop a software for simulating biochemical networks. It will be offered free to academic researchers and also available to businesses.
Like a computer virus eating away software, chronic alcohol abuse can change the programming of critical areas of the human brain on the molecular level, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered. (Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, 12-00)
Cornell University will create an online library of solid earth geoscience information as part of the National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library for science education. The library will include tools that make the information useful to students at all levels from K-12 up.
Cornell University researchers have received a NSF one-year grant of $799,085 to develop a proposed architecture for the National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library.
In the classic debate of nature versus nurture, University of Tulsa researchers have scored one for heredity -- at least when it comes to cliff swallows. They say their study shows that genes guide the birds when they select the size of colony in which to live. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 12-19-00)
For a planner, controversy is the name of the game. In the course of our professional duties, we're bound to make decisions that are unpopular with somebody. The response, all too often, is a lawsuit.
One of the most contentious debates during the recent climate talks in Hague centered on the possible use of forests as credit towards reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
The source for Central Illinois singers seeking recovery from a range of vocal problems likely would be a University of Illinois music professor.
Bad as it may have seemed, the University of Illinois in 1904 was "poised for take-off." Within a few years - and under a new president - it would become a leading U.S. university. So says author of "The University of Illinois, 1894-1904: The Shaping of the University".
Researchers at the University of Illinois have fabricated silicon thin-film transistors - critical components of numerous sensor and display technologies - using soft lithographic block-printing techniques and polymer inks in place of photolithography. (Chemistry of Materials)
Scientists seeking to confirm earlier measurements of the strange quark's contribution to the proton's magnetic moment have found several surprises, instead. (Science, 12-15-00)
State learning standards are moving forward in Illinois schools, but very slowly, according to a recent University of Illinois report. One thing holding back implementation, ironically, is the test intended to measure how well the standards are being taught.
Studies at the University of Illinois have identified a specific brain pathway in which neurons activate in times of low oxygen (hypoxia) and trigger increased breathing.
Elmhurst College will introduce a new master's degree program in supply chain management during the fall of 2001. This graduate-level program, the sixth at Elmhurst, was created to address the needs of the new economy.
Just in time for Christmas, St. John's University proudly announced a gift in the amount of $10M. This is the second Christmas in a row St. John's has received a gift of this size.
University of Arkansas Research Frontiers, the twice-yearly journal that showcases faculty research, can now be viewed online.
Current techniques for lead detection require sophisticated equipment or complicated sample treatment. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a simple and inexpensive method that permits real-time, on-site detection of lead ions.
