Wild pigs (Sus scrofa), one of the most widely distributed mammals on the planet, have gained notoriety in recent decades due to their devastating impacts to agricultural crops and threats to species of conservation concern.
Applied in the field, a new model reduced quakes from oil and gas processes; could help manage seismic events from carbon sequestration.
Study in mice shows lasting effects of early-life habits
UH Researchers’ New Prototype LED Lightbulb Emits Less of That Troublesome Blue Light
Researchers identify gene that helps plants sense heat
Patients with COPD are treated with drugs to improve the breathing ability in combination with inhaled corticosteroids to reduce the risk of acute worsening of the lung conditions. But the balance between reduced exacerbations and increased adverse effects of the drugs depends on the dose and on patient characteristics. Researchers from the University of Zurich now show how to personalize treatments to optimally balance benefits and side effects.
Scientists employ an underused resource — radiology reports that accompany medical images — to improve the interpretive abilities of machine learning algorithms.
Permanent oxygenation occurred much later than previously thought
Heart-Focused Anxiety a Significant Predictor of Depression
MIT engineers devised a way to count elusive circulating tumor cells in mice, allowing them to study the dynamics of metastasis.
Natural killer cells do not just kill cancer cells or cells infected with viruses, they also mediate a trade-off between wound healing and bacterial defense in skin wounds. If the healing process is accelerated, the immune defense is weakened, researchers at the University of Zurich have now shown. This has relevance in treating skin injuries and in tackling antibiotic-resistant germs.
Current and former MIT researchers find novel tools can improve the sustainability of road networks on a limited budget.
After an international team of astronomers discovered the first signs of a new type of supernova, the researchers turned to the W.M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea to confirm their sighting.
Neighborhood social cohesion, defined as having strong social bonds and the absence of conflict, is shown to promote various positive health outcomes.
Women make up nearly two-fifths of the global workforce, but have suffered more than half of total job losses due to COVID-19, according to an expansive study on women by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers at Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health.
Black-tailed deer in Hawaiʻi? Where do squirrels thrive best? Unlike for birds, which have multiple large-scale monitoring programs, mammals have not had a standard way to monitor their populations on a national scale.
In Hawaiʻi, there is a relatively high number of feral chickens, commonly seen on roads and in parking lots.
Multiple United States coastal regions may see rapid increases in the number of high-tide flooding days in the mid-2030s, according to a study led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and published in Nature Climate Change.
The Hawaiian blue rice coral may reveal important clues as to how some corals might weather climate change according to a team of scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the Smithsonian Institute.
The first study to characterize the frequency of several atmospheric disturbance types in Hawaiʻi and the magnitude of rainfall associated with them aims to help inform future water management decisions in the state.
