Bee strategy helps servers run more sweetly
11-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
According to new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the swarm intelligence of honeybees can be adapted to improve the efficiency of Internet servers faced with similar challenges. A bee dance-inspired communications system developed by Georgia Tech helps Internet servers that would normally be devoted solely to one task move between tasks as needed, reducing the chances that a Web site could be overwhelmed with requests and lock out potential users and customers.

Stem cells train heart following heart attack
11-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Injecting adult stem cells into a heart following a heart attack (infarction) improves the heart function and strengthens the heart wall. The use of such cells may eventually reduce the chance of heart failure following a heart attack. Researchers from Leiden University discovered this in a project forming part of the Dutch Program for Tissue Engineering, funded by Technology Foundation STW and the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development.

Too little scope for development in today's aircraft technology
06-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
New technology can do much to improve certain aspects of aviation in terms of sustainable development over the next fifty years, but this will be nowhere near enough to compensate for the expected growth in air travel. This is the view of researcher Alexander de Haan, who will receive a Ph.D. at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands on Wednesday, June 27 for his research on this subject.

Releasing fish for the future
05-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
NSW Department of Primary Industries fisheries scientists are investigating ways to boost the survival rates of fish caught and then released by anglers. Guidelines designed to improve fish survival were recently developed for released line-caught snapper, silver trevally, mulloway, sand whiting, yellowfin bream and dusky flathead.The research, costing more than $1.5 million and funded by NSW DPI and the Recreational Fishing Trust (using money from licence fees), is developing protocols designed to maximise fish survival via subtle changes to management practices.

Chickens dieting to help Delaware waterways
07-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
Millions of chickens in Delaware -- one of the nation's top poultry producers -- have been on a diet to reduce their impact on the environment and improve the health of the state's waterways, and it appears to be working. University of Delaware research has confirmed that Delaware chickens now digest more phosphorus in their feed, thanks to the addition of the enzyme phytase. As a result, about 23 percent less phosphorus is output in chicken manure.
