3. Latest IPCC report highlights need for integrated climate/human behavior models
   04-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   How can humans adapt to climate change without adding even more stress to the environment? Scientists are now looking at ways to integrate the human dimension of climate change -- the choices we need to make to adapt to a changing global climate -- with the sophisticated climate prediction models used for the IPCC Assessment Reports. The goal: To evaluate the best ways forward.

4. How plants learned to respond to changing environments
   07-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of John Innes Center scientists lead by Professor Nick Harberd have discovered how plants evolved the ability to adapt to changes in climate and environment. Plants adapt their growth, including key steps in their life cycle such as germination and flowering, to take advantage of environmental conditions. They can also repress growth when their environment is not favorable. This involves many complex signalling pathways which are integrated by the plant growth hormone gibberellin.

7. How Bacteria Grip Tight To Surfaces Even Under High Fluid Flow
   10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Bacteria like E. coli have hair-like protrusions known as fimbriae with a sticky protein on the tip. This adhesive protein is called FimH and binds in an unusual way to a sugar molecule present on the surfaces of cells. A group of researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Washington in Seattle have been studying how the bacterium E. coli attaches to surfaces and copes with rapidly changing flow conditions as found in the human body.
