biological sciences Frog, out of the well The frog, Odorrana tormota, is the only animal that can manipulate its hearing system to select particular frequencies. It helps the males to call and woo females. The system in frogs is also being used as a model for hearing aids. The rare amphibian may have evolved its hearing talent out of necessity, since its environment is so noisy,
The hike in the price of oil means that new ways of fuelling transport are no longer fantasy. (Editorial)
Shipping is one of the most fuel-efficient ways to move freight, but the industry still produces significant greenhouse-gas emissions, including more than a quarter of the world's nitrogen oxides emissions. And it also produces more sulphur dioxide emissions than all land transportation combined. In the latest of Nature's our Future Transport series, Duncan Graham-Rowe looks at the new wave in shipping.
The limited availability of fossil fuel sources, worldwide rising energy demands and anticipated climate changes attributed to an increase of greenhouse gasses are important driving forces for finding alternative energy sources. One approach to meeting the increasing energy demands and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is by large-scale substitution of petrochemically derived transport fuels by the use of carbon dioxide-neutral biofuels, such as ethanol derived from lignocellulosic material.
This book is one of the first comprehensive attempts to look at the synergies between
When Bill Barrett Corp, a small US natural gas producer, first went to Utah's Nine Mile Canyon in 2002 to begin drilling, it sought permission to drill fewer than 100 wells. But the price of natural gas has rocketed in the intervening years and now Bill Barrett is seeking approval for 800 more.
