The lack of trained nuclear chemical specialists has been identified in all branches of the nuclear sector and also in other areas where skills in NRC are required, such as radiopharmacy, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, radioecology, and many others. Retraining general chemistry ...
According to a European research project, cities may be able to reduce their energy consumption by 30 % by leveraging information and communication technologies (ICTs). This breakthrough was made by the ENERSIP project, which is formed by 10 partners from 5 European countries, and has received EUR 3.99 million in funding from the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) under the theme for ICT support to ...
The 10th International Conference and Exhibition on Polymorphism and Crystallization will take place from 19 to 20 November 2012 in Prague, Czech Republic.
The production of organic crystals of the correct form (habit, solvate, polymorph) and size is a real brainteaser for researchers. Although production of new polymorphs and solvates can be a source of profit for companies through extension of the patent ...
An event entitled 'Experimental fluid mechanics 2012' will take place from 20 to 23 November 2012 in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic .
Fluid dynamics studies the flow of liquids and gases, usually in and around solid surfaces. It involves the analysis of various properties of the fluid, such as velocity, pressure, density and temperature. Fluid dynamics can be used to analyze the flow of air over an airplane ...
One of the biggest scientific challenges is the classification of the natural world, especially the protists, which are eukaryotic microorganisms. While the classification proposed by Sina Adl et al. (2005) was conservative enough to help keep erroneous or premature groupings at bay, an international team of researchers has revised the classification, incorporating latest advances in the use of phylogenomic-scale ...
'Be Prepared' has been the official Scout motto since 1907; a new tool will help city planners do just this in preparing cities to face changing weather patterns, and in creating more sustainable cities.
The instrument in question is a web-based planning, prediction and training tool, which can be used to support decisions in long-term urban planning. This was developed by the SUDPLAN ('Sustainable urban ...
Thigh size in obese people may contribute to the failure of their hip implants, a new international study shows. Led by the University of Iowa in the United States, researchers simulated hip dislocations and observed that the bigger the girth in a morbidly obese person's thigh, the more likely their hip will become instable.
Presented in the journal Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, the study ...
