Scientists want to solve puzzle of excess water vapor near cirrus clouds
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!Researchers in recent years have found water vapor at concentrations as much as twice what they should be in and around cirrus clouds high in the atmosphere, a finding that could alter some conclusions about climate change. A group of European and US scientists is advocating a broad research effort to solve the puzzle.

- Controlling bandwidth in the clouds
08-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
UC San Diego computer scientists have designed, implemented, and evaluated a new bandwidth management system for cloud-based applications capable of solving the problem of lack of bandwidth control. The UCSD algorithm enables distributed rate limiters to work together to enforce global bandwidth rate limits, and dynamically shift bandwidth allocations across multiple sites or networks, according to current network demand.

- Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
11-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, PhD, is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or sickle cell disease.

- Cat fleas' journey into the vacuum is a 'one-way trip'
12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Homeowners dogged by household fleas need look no farther than the broom closet to solve their problem. Scientists have determined that vacuuming kills fleas in all stages of their lives, with an average of 96 percent success in adult fleas and 100 percent destruction of younger fleas. In fact, the results were so surprisingly definitive that the lead scientist, an Ohio State University insect specialist, repeated the experiments several times to be sure the findings were correct.

- Widespread 'twilight zone' detected around clouds
05-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
There is something new under the sun that could complicate scientists' efforts to get a fix on how much the world will warm in the future. In addition to greenhouse gases, clouds, and aerosol particles that influence the temperature of the atmosphere, a new ingredient has been discovered: an extensive and previously unseen "twilight zone" of particles that represents a gradual transition from cloud droplets to dry particles.
