The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has asked for a commitment from the Obama administration and the European Union to further the Society's mission to achieve the development of 10 new antibiotics within the next 10 years, known as the 10 x '20 Initiative. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antimicrobial resistance as one of the three greatest threats to human health. http://www.physorg.com/news178203419.html Medicine & Health Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:20:04 EST news178203419 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced plans to fund research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Engineering on technologies that would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the capture and permanent safe storage, or sequestration, of carbon dioxide (CO2). The project is in collaboration with Southern Company, the parent company of Alabama Power. http://www.physorg.com/news176997779.html Space & Earth Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:04:06 EST news176997779 Most cellular processes are carried out by molecular machines that consist of many interacting proteins. These protein complexes lie at the heart of life science research, but they are notoriously hard to study. Their abundance is often too low to extract them directly from cells and generating them with recombinant methods has been a daunting task. http://www.physorg.com/news160662977.html Chemistry Mon, 04 May 2009 13:36:51 EST news160662977 (AP) -- Alaska's Mount Redoubt erupted at least twice Wednesday as officials from a pipeline company assessed conditions at a nearby oil storage facility to determine whether to remove its contents. http://www.physorg.com/news157230441.html Space & Earth Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:08:02 EST news157230441 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Colorado School of Mines (CSM) have developed a prototype sensor that quickly detects very small amounts of hydrogen accumulation in coated pipeline steel. The new sensor could provide early warning of pipes that have accumulated excessive amounts of hydrogen -- a notorious source of embrittlement -and avert potentially disastrous failures of pipelines carrying hydrogen fuel. http://www.physorg.com/news142258762.html Technology Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:19:22 EST news142258762
