The Telecommunications Engineer Daniel Leandro-González has developed new fibre optic sensor networks that allow very accurate temperature measurements to be made (with variations of the order of 0.001 ºC). This technological advance, covered in his PhD thesis read at the Public University of Navarre (NUP/UPNA), also offers other advantages, such as lower cost per sensor made possible by including numerous devices of this type within a single fibre optic network.

Με τα ποσοστά των αστέγων να αυξάνονται ραγδαία στο Λος Άντζελες, οι ντόπιοι προσπαθούν να βρουν λύση στο πρόβλημα με όποιον τρόπο μπορούν.

Τη βοήθεια της ήθελε να προσφέρει και μια ομάδα μαθητών από το Γυμνάσιο του San Fernando, η οποία κατάφερε να κατασκευάσει κάτι πολύ αξιόλογο, παρά το γεγονός ότι δεν είχε μεγάλη εμπειρία στη μηχανολογία ή τις εφευρέσεις.

o slow down the rise of non-curable infections, a Dutch company developed a diagnostic kit to identify strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The World Health Organization (WHO) warns citizens for several years now: many antibiotics are becoming useless to heal bacterial infections. Indeed, bacteria develop new defence mechanisms to resist the action of antibiotics. By accurate detection of these resistance mechanisms, prescription of useless antibiotics can be avoided. Instead, an appropriate antibiotic treatment can be prescribed to cure the patient.

A study conducted in Finland has analysed the oral glucose tolerance tests of 1970 men and 2544 women in relation to their preceding three-year employment records. It found that men with high exposure to unemployment had a higher risk for pre-diabetes and screen-detected type 2 diabetes than employed men.
