Scientists at JILA, working with
Italian theorists, have discovered another notable similarity between ultracold atomic gases and high-temperature superconductors, suggesting there may be a relatively simple shared explanation for equivalent behaviors of the two very different systems.

Electronic Health Records Prime Clinicians to Provide Progressive Care to Older Adults
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:32:00 -0500
University of Missouri researchers are refining electronic health record (EHR) technology to more efficiently meet increasing health care demands. The EHR system encompasses standard health assessments and those obtained through new technologies. The goal is to increase efficiency and accuracy, improve patient outcomes and reduce costs for long-term care.

Indian Ocean Sea-Level Rise Threatens Coastal Areas
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 09:16:00 -0500
Indian Ocean sea levels are rising unevenly and threatening residents in some densely populated coastal areas and islands, a new study concludes.
The study, led by scientists at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., finds that the sea-level rise is at least partly a result of climate change.
Sea-level rise is particularly high along the coastlines of the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, as well as ...
