Researchers use 3-D imaging system to unveil swimming behavior of microscopic plankton

From the surface, the ocean appears to be vast and uniform. But beneath the surface, tiny animals called zooplankton are swept into clusters and patches by ocean currents. The very survival of many zooplankton predators--from invertebrates to whales--and the success of fishermen catches can depend on their success at finding those patches. For almost a century ocean scientists have suspect...

Swimming with dolphins can alleviate depression

Swimming with dolphins is an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression, say researchers in this week's BMJ. The study was carried out in Honduras and involved 30 patients diagnosed with mild or moderate depression. Hal...

U. of Colorado researcher identifies tracks of swimming dinosaur in Wyoming

With their long stalks and feathery arms, marine animals known as sea lilies look a lot like their garden-variety namesakes. Perhaps because of that resemblance, scientists had always assumed that sea lilies stayed rooted instead of moving around lik...

Even fish don't swim well when they're young!

Do you remember learning to swim? Thrashing around, floundering, until suddenly it all clicks into place and a few feeble strokes of doggy-paddle propel you away from your parent's arms. Surely, you think, fish must be born as expert swimmers. Actually, fish larvae are pretty feeble when it comes to an efficient mode of swimming called 'burst-and-coast'. Dr Ulrike Müller from Wageningen Universit...

Paramecia adapt their swimming to changing gravitational force

For many single-celled organisms living in water, the force is always against them. The classic example is the slipper-shaped paramecium, which consistently swims harder going up than going down, just to keep from sinking. Now physicists Karine Guevorkian and James Valles of Brown University have worked out a way to turn gravity on its head and see how the creatures respond. The researcher...

Learning to swim in the global talent pool

Global trade has been around since the days of Marco Polo, if not well before. It started with goods - at first raw materials and then progressed to finished products. Next came financial capital. In more recent times, trade in services and increasingly labor and knowledge work have gone global. What's different today from the past is the immense scale, scope and dy...

Swimming in Chlorinated Pools Raises Asthma Risk

Children who swim in chlorinated pools weekly or fortnightly have a higher risk of developing lung diseases including asthma, a study in the British medical journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine found. The inhalation of chemicals used to destroy microbiological germs in swimming pools may be responsible for the surge of childhood asthma in developed countries, according to Alfr...

Children Face Risk While Swimming

Children may end up developing chronic lung problems and asthma if they are taught to swim before the age of two, according to Alfred Bernard, the professor of toxicology at Belgium's Catholic University of Louvain.// He also added that the levels of the irritant trichloramine were 50% higher in the air above indoor paddling pools than in adult pools, and that his recent study of 341 scho...

Children’s Health Improves By Swimmin

A latest study has found out that swimming helps immensely the children to stay hale and healthy when compared with the non-swimmers. // Researches conducted over six years at the Jigalong, Burringurrah and Mugarinya communities in western Australia's Pilbara region examined the impact on children's health where swimming pools were installed, reported ABC News online. The Inst...

Use Of Indoor Swimming Pools Linked To Development Of Asthma In Children

A new research suggests that children who use an indoor swimming pool may be at increased risk of developing asthma.// The study by the Belgian researchers of the Catholic University of Louvain, which appears in Occupational and Environmental Medicine, has found that the rates of childhood asthma and wheezing rose by around 2-3% for every indoor swimming pool per 100,000 people. The r...
