Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!Researchers at Delft University of Technology can predict how nanostructuring -- the extreme reduction of structure -- will affect the performance of Li-ion batteries. The nanostructuring of battery materials is likely to be common practice in the future, but it is not always performance enhancing. The research findings have recently been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

- Individual differences in a clock gene predict decline of performance during sleep deprivation
03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
People are known to differ markedly in their response to sleep deprivation, but the biological underpinnings of these differences have remained difficult to identify. Researchers have now found that a genetic difference in a so-called clock gene, PERIOD3, makes some people particularly sensitive to the effects of sleep deprivation.

- U of M researchers find that the words of a CEO can foretell a company's future innovation
08-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Many stockholders wish they could look into a crystal ball to forecast a firm's performance. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have found that they need something far less mystical to predict future innovations of firms. "The answer lies in the words of the CEO," said Rajesh Chandy, professor of marketing at the university’s Carlson School of Management. "By simply counting the number of future-oriented sentences in annual reports we can predict future innovation by the firm."

- College science success linked to math and same-subject preparation
07-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Virginia have found that high school coursework in one of the sciences, generally does not predict better college performance in other scientific disciplines. But there's one notable exception: Students with the most rigorous high school preparation in mathematics, perform significantly better in college courses in biology, chemistry, and physics.

- MIT develops measures to predict performance of complex systems
02-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Taking a cue from the financial world, MIT researchers along with experts in industry and government have developed a list of 13 measures that engineers can use to predict how well a system -- or project -- will perform before it is even finished.

- Research links childhood social skills and learning abilities
06-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
While federal programs such as No Child Left Behind emphasize the importance of academic skills to school success and achievement, there is growing interest in how social skills develop and how they contribute to learning.Research presented at the 2007 meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development by a team of Michigan State University researchers indicate that a child's social skills at age three could predict future social and academic performance.

- Delft University of Technology shines light on atomic transistor
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from TU Delft and FOM Foundation have successfully measured transport through a single atom in a transistor. This research offers new insights into the behaviour of so-called dopant atoms in silicon. The researchers are able to measure and manipulate a single dopant atom in a realistic semi-conducting environment. The individual behaviour of dopant atoms is a stumbling block to the further miniaturisation of electronics. The work is published in Physical Review Letters.

- 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.

- Hospital performance measures may not make much difference when it comes to mortality
12-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have found that hospitals with high and low performance on Medicare quality measures had little difference in the rate of death for three common conditions at the hospitals, indicating that the performance measures may not accurately reflect patient outcomes.

Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine recently achieved first signal on the Cryogenic Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-FTMS) being developed at the school's Cardiovascular Proteomics Center. The Fourier transform mass spectrometer is the highest performance instrumentation currently available to those interested in structural characterization of proteins and other biomolecules.

- New discovery leaves blood-doping athletes scratching their heads
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
A stunning discovery may make blood doping and the treatment of severe anemia as easy as washing your hair. In the October print issue of the FASEB Journal, researchers show that hair follicles on people's head have the potential to become erythropoietin factories. EPO, the hormone responsible for the creation of red blood cells, is used illegally to enhance athletic performance and legally to treat severe anemia associated with kidney failure and chemotherapy.
