STAMP system can help professionals to identify potentially violent individuals

A health researcher has developed a violence assessment framework after observing patients for 290 hours in an accident and emergency department and interviewing nurses after violent incidents. The STAMP system will also prove invaluable to professionals in a wide range of other situations, including law enforcement and social services.

2. UC San Diego researchers give computers 'common sense'
   10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Using a little-known Google Labs widget, computer scientists from UC San Diego and UCLA have brought common sense to an automated image labeling system. This common sense is the ability to use context to help identify objects in photographs. For example, if a conventional automated object identifier labels a person, a tennis racket, a tennis court and a lemon in a photo, the new post-processing context check will re-label the lemon a tennis ball.

   08-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   University of Pennsylvania researchers have designed a nanoscale system to observe and measure how individual cells react to external forces. By combining microfabricated cantilevers and magnetic nanowire technology to create independent, nanoscale sensors, the study showed that cells respond to outside forces and demonstrated a dynamic biological relationship between cells and their environment.

   02-13-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A landmark University of Alberta study, analyzing a sample of over 275,000 individuals, has found that when it comes to participation in physical activity, one size does not fit all. The study looked at a wide range of factors, including income, education and ethnicity, that influence whether a person decides to be physically active. It also examined the impact of government spending on parks and recreation on an individual's decision to participate in physical activity and sports.

   04-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Treatment of mice with a "friendly" bacteria, normally found in the soil, altered their behavior in a way similar to that produced by antidepressant drugs, reports research published in the latest issue of Neuroscience. These findings, identified by researchers at the University of Bristol and colleagues at University College London, aid the understanding of why an imbalance in the immune system leaves some individuals vulnerable to mood disorders like depression.

10. DNA analysis reveals rapid population shift among Pleistocene cave bears
    02-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Studying DNA obtained from teeth of ancient cave bears, researchers have been able to identify a shift in a particular population of the bears inhabiting a European valley in the late Pleistocene era. The findings illustrate the ability of DNA sequence analysis to reveal aspects of animal population dynamics in the distant past and potentially illuminate the influence of human migrations in animal population changes.
