- New system of wastewater treatment could reduce the size of treatment plants by half
08-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
UGR researchers have developed new technologies to obtain cheaper water of higher quality that would also reduce unwanted mud production. Research is particularly interesting if the current drought is taken into account, as well as the lack of space many municipalities have when the number of inhabitants grows, which makes it impossible to enlarge their water treatment plants. Results of this research were recently published in several prestigious scientific journals: Journal of Environmental Science Health, Part A; and Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology.

- Money: It's more than an incentive according to University of Minnesota researcher
11-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Why are some people more self-sufficient than others? Why are some people more willing to volunteer or help out than others?

Research conducted by Kathleen Vohs, assistant professor of marketing at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, demonstrates that money -- more specifically, people's exposure to the concept of money -- can start to answer these questions. The research is published in the November 17 issue of Science.
