Scientists discover how fish evolved to float at different sea depths
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered how fish have evolved over the last 400 million years to stay motionless at different water depths. A research team led by Dr Michael Berenbrink, a Comparative Physiologist at the School of Biological Sciences, has revealed how modern fish, such as pike and cod, have developed a way of floating at certain water levels using a gas-f...Searching the depths of the straits of Florida for disease cures
On Monday, the Harbor Branch drug discovery group will begin a 2-week expedition to explore the Straits of Florida in search of organisms that produce chemicals with the potential to cure diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. The work will include the first submersible exploration of the remote Cay Sal Bank, which encompasses a number of small, uninhabited islands 30 miles north of Cuba. Cay S...3-D ultrasound scanner provides in-depth view of the brain

A report card released Thursday gave Wisconsins economy a B average, ranking the Badger State high in areas like equity and quality of life, but giving the state gentlemans Cs for business vitality and development capacity. Numerous factors -- including layoffs resulting from the withering manufacturing economy contributed to the less-than-stellar report card. But glitches in the system...Perception of depth in movement by cue
A Team of researchers at the University of NSW in Sydney have identified a cue to detect depth in motion. This is a 3D motion cue which is dynamic //half-occlusion. This is helpful in achieving a perception of depth while in motion. It appears as a free access on Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). Building on principles of binocular ge...BD Beaver™ Accurate Depth Knives
