Dead zone area in Gulf could be increasing, researchers say
The "dead zone" area of the Gulf of Mexico ?a region that annually suffers from low oxygen which can result in huge marine life losses ?has appeared much earlier this year, meaning it could be potentially larger in 2005 and affect marine life more adversely than normal, researchers are reporting. A team of scientists from Texas A&M University, Texas A&M at Galveston, Louisiana Stat...NASA's AURA satellite peers into Earth's ozone hole
NASA researchers, using data from the agency's AURA satellite, determined the seasonal ozone hole that developed over Antarctica this year is smaller than in previous years. This yea...Ocean 'dead zones' trigger sex changes in fish, posing extinction threat
Oxygen depletion in the world’s oceans, primarily caused by agricultural run-off and pollution, could spark the development of far more male fish than female, thereby threatening some species with extinction, according to a study published today on the Web site of the American Chemical Society journal, . The study is scheduled to appear in the May 1...'Dead zone' summer killed billions of ocean state mussels
Fish kills, foul odors and closed beaches hit Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay during the summer of 2001. The culprit was hypoxia, or oxygen depletion, which literally suffocates sea life. While some evidence of this "dead zone" could be seen on the bay's surface, Brown University ecologists went underwater and discovered a massive mussel die-off. In a survey of nine mussel reefs located in...Scientists find Antarctic ozone hole to recover later than expected
Scientists from NASA and other agencies have concluded that the ozone hole over the Antarctic will recover around 2068, nearly 20 years later than previously believed. Researchers from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have developed a new tool, a math-based computer model, to predict the timing of ozone...Standard Imaging and Tushaus receive DOC Tech Zone credits

According to a new research, done one a huge men population, which evaluated more than 14,000 sperm samples, found that ozone can adversely affect a man's sperm, reducing their numbers as well as their crucial ability to move or "swim,". "Our most significant finding was that as the ozone level went up, the sperm concentration went down," said Dr. Rebecca Z. Sokol, a professor of medic...Diabetic drug Pioglitazone found to reduce heart risk
Patients with type-2 diabetes are at high risk of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke, these events are the main reason for their decreased life expectancy//. There is indirect evidence that agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? (PPAR-?) could reduce macrovascular complications. Pioglitazone is one such agonist used to treat type-2 diabetes. A recent s...Instrument to reveal Information about Ozone Loss
