El Niño forecasts extended to 18 months with physics-based model
Across Asia, the Pacific Ocean, and the Americas, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) brings variations in winds, weather, and ocean temperature that can cause droughts, floods, crop failures, and food shortages. Recently, the world has experienced.....»»
Researchers map Drosophila"s neural networks that control wing and leg movement
Scientists at the University of Washington and Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with the ESRF, have discovered the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in the fruit fly (Drosophila). This could lead to a better understanding.....»»
New model uses fewer measurements to determine level of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater
It is becoming increasingly obvious that pharmaceutical residues in wastewater are damaging to the environment, making it imperative that wastewater is tested for such residues. However, wastewater measurements are expensive and time-consuming......»»
Study identifies biting flies as reservoirs of bacteria that cause bovine mastitis on dairy farms
Bovine mastitis, which affects cows, leads to reduced milk production and can be fatal if left untreated. The USDA National Animal Health Monitoring System has reported cases in 99.7% of all dairy operations in the U.S., making it the most prevalent.....»»
