New Biofuels Processing Method for Mobile Facilities
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:12:00 -0500

engineering graphic Chemical engineers at Purdue University have developed a new method to process agricultural waste and other biomass into biofuels, and they are proposing the creation of mobile processing plants that would rove the Midwest to produce the fuels.

Electronic Health Records Prime Clinicians to Provide Progressive Care to Older Adults
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:32:00 -0500

electronic health record technology 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.

A New Spin on Drug Delivery
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:13:00 -0500

Chang Lu Chang Lu and his chemical engineering research group at Virginia Tech have discovered how to "greatly enhance" the delivery of DNA payloads into cells. The description of their work will be featured on the cover of Lab on a Chip, the premier journal for researchers in microfluidics. The work also appears in the July 8 issue of Nature magazine.

Indian Ocean Sea-Level Rise Threatens Coastal Areas
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 09:16:00 -0500

Image of earth showing sea levels which are rising unevenly, threatening coastal areas and islands.

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 ...
