Cooperative science program yields results

Test fishing of a halibut excluder device on trawls used for Pacific cod in Alaska points to a significant reduction of halibut bycatch. "This shows what happens when fishermen, scientists, and industry put their heads together to tackle even the most difficult problems," said John Gauvin, cooperative research coordinator for MCAF. "We produced a practical device that reduces halibut bycatch in the Gulf trawl fishery by over 50%." Staying below bycatch caps, allows target fisheries to continue.

1. Positioning pelvic cancer patients on stomachs for radiation yields better results
   10-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that positioning pelvic cancer patients on their stomachs rather than their backs is a better method for delivering radiation therapy. Because patients return for multiple therapies, being able to reproduce the positioning of the patient allowed more precision, which reduces toxicity. "It was a surprising finding," according to according to Martin Fuss, M.D., the director of the Program in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy, OHSU Radiation Medicine.

   11-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Parents of school-aged children might want to think of giving their children an enduring holiday gift this year: enrollment in a supplemental mathematics program. While it can cost anywhere from $80 to $110 a month, the results of practicing mathematics nearly daily is rewarding and builds self-esteem. A professor of computer science at Washington University in St. Louis started Kumon Mathematics 23 years ago in St. Louis, and says the program is thriving.
