Persuading influential medical centers to adopt electronic medical records helps speed adoption by their neighboring hospitals, according to the Management Insights feature in the current issue of Management Science, a flagship journal of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.
(United States Department of Agriculture-Research, Education, and Economics) Two US Department of Agriculture scientists have created new maps of Chesapeake Bay forested wetlands that are about 30 percent more accurate than existing maps. Wetlands are critical to the health of bodies of water like the Chesapeake Bay.

(University of Central Florida) Computer modeling and simulation techniques will help scientists understand the long-term impacts of rising sea level, which threatens barrier islands, beaches, wetlands and critical habitats for commercially valuable species such as oysters. The research also could potentially be linked with models of how remaining oil from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill would be...
When envisioning cell therapy for cardiovascular disease, a team of scientists is focusing on cells that nourish blood vessels, rather than on rare stem cells. In experiments with mice, CD31 positive cells from the blood or bone marrow can effectively treat hindlimb ischemia -- a model of peripheral artery disease. This approach has the potential to be safer and less arduous than experimental...
(Iowa State University) Iowa State University researchers Matt Helmers and Antonio Mallarino find that by planting switchgrass and using certain agronomic practices, farmers can significantly reduce the amount of nitrogen and nitrates that leach into the soil.
New finds from Dikika, Ethiopia, push back the first stone tool use and meat-consumption by almost 1 million years and provide the first evidence that these behaviors can be attributed to Lucy's species -- Australopithecus afarensis.
Scientists outline a 20-year master plan for the global renaissance of nuclear energy that could see nuclear reactors with replaceable parts, portable mini-reactors, and ship-borne reactors supplying countries with clean energy, in research published today in the journal Science.
