A mathematical model has explained some of the remarkable features of mosquito hearing. In particular, the male can hear the faintest beats of the female's wings and yet is not deafened by loud noises. http://www.physorg.com/news177918117.html Other Sciences Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:42:41 EST news177918117 Tropical cyclone Nargis made landfall in the Asian nation of Myanmar on May 2, 2008, causing the worst natural disaster in the country's recorded history - with a death toll that may have exceeded 138,000.

The Honghu Lake Basin, located at the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, was chosen as the study area, the numerical simulations were used to assess the relative roles of natural, climate-induced changes versus human-related activities in changes of the nutrient transportation. The simulation results showed that the effect from human activities increased rapidly, and had become a dominant factor. http://www.physorg.com/news138435775.html Space & Earth Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:22:55 EST news138435775
