In the study, 62 children remained in the test group for two years, 82 students were in the test group one year and the control group one year, and 49 students were in the control group both year

The technique enables users to measure molecular weights of gaseous samples in the air in real time

Liver disease affects pediatric and adult patients, impacting one in ten people in the United States

One of the drugs is already on the market as a treatment for tapeworm

Instrument is one step forward in a new field of physics called valleytronics

"This work is an excellent example of the materials advances possible when we close the feedback loop between first principles calculations and atomic resolution electron microscopy," says researcher

The visualization draws upon flow models from electronic circuit theory, taking inspiration from existing visualizations of wind flow across the U.S.

Researchers caution that their findings are not generalizable—given the small sample size—but they say the methods give school lunch programs and parents potential tools to help children eat more nutritious meals at school

The new method builds on an existing technique, also developed by Plymouth University over the last 10 years, which identified a means by which scientists could measure changes to sea ice in the Arctic

Over the seven years, 60 graduate students and 35 post-doctoral fellows will be trained at the center, and four or five new faculty positions will be created

Method gives scientists new ways to study rapid nuclear motions in nature's light-dependent processes

Recently developed superresolution (SR) microscopy breaks the diffraction limit and offers the requisite spatial resolution but usually at the cost of slow imaging speed and excessive damage
