   10-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Simply informing the poor about government-provided health, educational and social services they are entitled to could empower them to take greater advantage of free or low-cost public services, a study in India suggests. The finding, reported in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association, could be an overlooked, relatively easy way to boost health and well-being in developing countries around the world.

   10-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Chemists at the University of Pennsylvania have created a new process for free radical polymerization, the chemical reaction responsible for creating an enormous array of everyday plastic products, from Styrofoam cups to PVC tubing to car parts. Unlike the "traditional" method for living polymerization, which has been around for more than 50 years, this method takes place at room temperature, uses less metal catalyst to drive the reaction and requires a very short reaction time.

   11-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Is it possible to solve climate change, reduce poverty and save biodiversity at a single stroke? It might seem like a dream, but this is exactly the issue that is being discussed at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali Dec. 3-14, 2007. The key is to include reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation in the Kyoto Protocol so that developing countries can be compensated for saving their forests and woodlands.
