Finding patterns of importance in a deluge of data
01-09-2007 · EurekAlert!Two Dartmouth engineers think that PQS, or process query systems, are the way to go to make sense of the huge volume of data we collect each day from computer network monitors, video surveillance cameras, financial transaction records, databases of email exchanges, etc. The duo present their case in a paper published in the January 2007 issue of the journal IEEE Computer.

- Exceptions prove rule of tropical importance in biodiversity
11-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Even a group of shellfish that appear to violate the overarching pattern of global biodiversity actually follows the same biological rules as other marine organisms, confirming a general theory for the spread of life on Earth. The University of Chicago's David Jablonski and his colleagues present this finding in the Nov. 7 advanced online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

- New research from National Violent Death Reporting System lauded
12-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
Research findings on violent death can help identify prevention strategies, a coalition of health and welfare, violence and suicide prevention, and law enforcement advocates said today. The groups hailed studies published in the journal Injury Prevention, which draw on data from the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) to identify patterns of violent death in America.

- Carnegie Mellon scientists find key HIV protein makes cell membranes bend more easily
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have made an important discovery that helps to explain why HIV enters immune cells with ease. They found that after HIV docks onto a host cell, it dramatically lowers the energy required for a cell membrane to bend, making it easier for the virus to infect immune cells. The finding will provide vital data to conduct future computer simulations of HIV dynamics to help further drug discovery and prevent deadly infections.

- 'Axis of evil' a cause for cosmic concern
04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
The "axis of evil" (a mysterious pattern seen in the cosmic microwave background) may be real, posing a threat to the standard model of cosmology -- the idea that the universe is much the same everywhere. New data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey suggests that the axes of rotation of most spiral galaxies appear to line up with the axis of evil.

- Hopkins researchers release genome data on autism
10-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Johns Hopkins' McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine today are releasing newly generated genetic data to help speed autism research. The Hopkins data, coordinated with a similar data release from the Autism Consortium, aims to help uncover the underlying hereditary factors and speed the understanding of autism by encouraging scientific collaboration. These data provide the most detailed look to date at the genetic variation patterns in families with autism.

- Researchers find that middle-aged misery spans the globe
01-28-2008 · EurekAlert!
Using data on 2 million people, from 80 nations, researchers from the University of Warwick and Dartmouth College in the US have found an extraordinarily consistent international pattern in depression and happiness levels that leaves us most miserable in middle age.

- Bats in flight reveal unexpected aerodynamics
01-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Brown University engineers and biologists have joined forces to record the fine details of wing and body movement in bat flight - together with the patterns of air movement that generate lift. Similar measurements have been made in insects and some birds, but this is the first such data for bats, which are highly flexible and maneuverable flyers and a potential model for engineered micro air vehicles.

- Possible progenitor of special supernova type detected
02-13-2008 · EurekAlert!
Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have reported the possible detection of a binary star system that was later destroyed in a supernova explosion. The new method they used provides great future promise for finding the detailed origin of these important cosmic events.

- Spatial patterns in tropical forests can help to understand their high biodiversity
09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a study published in the American Naturalist a German-Sri Lankan research team has now undertaken thousands of spatial pattern analyses to paint an overall picture of the association between tree species in one of these plots in Sri Lanka.

- Size matters … if you're a rodent
02-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Promiscuity is common among female rodents, leading to competition between the sperm of rival males over who fertilizes the eggs. It now seems that possessing a longer penis may give males an advantage in this competition. The data for rodents seem pretty clear cut. Species where sexual competition between males is most intense also tend to have the longest penises. But, interestingly, a similar pattern was not detected in either primates or bats.
