A URI researcher has deciphered the physiological effects of lead on growing brain cells. Low levels of lead disrupt the timing of the interactions between gene products, causing these interactions to occur in an uncoordinated manner and resulting in a "less than optimally wired" brain.
As regulators and government agencies seek ways to clean local coastal waters, a University of Rhode Island researcher demonstrates the value of using a natural cleaning system that provides economic benefits at the same time: shellfish aquaculture.
Three University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography scientists have discovered that planetary waves traveling thousands of miles have a significant impact on the abundance of phytoplankton in the upper ocean, and may play a role in predicting global warming. (Nature)
A shark researcher at the University of Rhode Island looks into the jaws of a shark to reveal how they eat. She also refutes the old theory that sharks swim like airplanes fly.
Recent research by a URI tick expert reveals that golfers face a high risk of attracting Lyme disease from deer ticks living on the edge of the woods in and around golf courses.
A University of Rhode Island researcher is using shredded wood in a new system for filtering out contaminants from storm water that runs off roadways.
The world is round and so are a growing number of its inhabitants. In fact, obesity is spreading at an alarming rate, not just in industrialized countries but in developing countries, where obesity often sits next to malnutrition.
Preliminary results of a University of Rhode Island analysis of the eye-movements of automobile drivers using cell phones found that the drivers have a reduced field of view -- tunnel vision.
A URI researcher has developed a microelectronic chip that could play a key role in collecting data about the habitat salmon prefer during their two- to three-year ocean migration. The device was developed because of concerns that salmon mortality rates appear to be linked to increasing ocean temperatures caused by global warming.
A URI geophysicist has devised a cost-effective, new method for finding underground contaminants that will reduce drilling and digging beneath the surface.
