The UC system is recognized as the state's premier public school system, and the Irvine campus is one of its ten general campuses. Located in Orange County, UC Irvine is the fifth largest in the UC system. It is considered a "Public Ivy" school. It is unique in that it offers more graduate and professional degree programs than it does undergraduate programs. However, undergraduates are able to choose from eighty different areas of study. UC Irvine became a member of the Association of American Universities in 1996, and is the youngest university to hold membership.

Terry Hay of New Zealand wanted to attend a university with a diversity of attractions. "I was interested in going to a school that focused on more than just academics," he says today. "UC Irvine had already sold me on their prestigious programs, but I wanted something more." For this reason, the school's athletics, numerous clubs and activities, and its research and teaching opportunities helped Terry Hay of New Zealand to make the final decision to attend.

UC Irvine has a strong research base, which has been recognized by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The campus includes a medical center, a health sciences system, a teaching hospital, and owns part of the arboretum at the University of California Natural Reserve System. It is also the biggest employer in Orange County.

In addition to its impressive academics, research, and teaching opportunities, the university is also home to many award-winning athletic teams. Known as the UC Irvine Anteaters, the school's athletes compete in the Big West Conference in the NCAA Division I, and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. UC Irvine has won 28 different national sports championships since 1969.

He established a health food distribution company that did so well, he was able to retire at the age of forty.

NASA Launches New Research, Seeks the Subtle in Parallel Ways

2014-03-08

On March 7, NASA announced the selection of 10 investigations for the study of identical twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly and, in doing so, launched human space life science research into a new era. Although NASA's Human Research Program has been researching the effects of spaceflight on the human body for decades, these 10 investigations will provide NASA with broader insight into the subtle effects and changes that may occur in spaceflight as compared to Earth-based environments. NASA and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) will jointly manage ...

Education 'protects' poor women from fattening effects of rising wealth

2014-03-08

Obesity levels among women in low- and middle-income countries tend to rise in line with wealth as they purchase more energy-dense foods, but a new UCL study suggests that more educated consumers make better food choices that mitigate this effect. The study showed that in middle-income countries, obesity levels among women with secondary or higher education are 14-19% lower than less-educated women of similar wealth. The research, published in PLOS ONE, looked at the relationships between obesity, education and wealth in over 250,000 people across four middle-income ...

Deer proliferation disrupts a forest's natural growth

2014-03-08

ITHACA, N.Y. – By literally looking below the surface and digging up the dirt, Cornell researchers have discovered that a burgeoning deer population forever alters the progression of a forest's natural future by creating environmental havoc in the soil and disrupting the soil's natural seed banks. The study, "Deer Browsing Delays Succession by Altering Aboveground Vegetation and Belowground Seed Banks," was published online March 7 in PLOS ONE. "Deer are slowing down forest succession or natural establishment. In fact, the deer are preventing forests from establishing," ...

New guidelines employ a team approach to autism diagnosis and care

2014-03-08

Improving diagnosis and treatment for individuals with autism has been the focus of a growing body of research. New information from these studies led the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to revise key parameters for evaluating and treating autism. Researchers led by Yale Child Study Center director Fred Volkmar, M.D., have published the new practice parameters in the Feb. issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Research on 3D scaffolds sets new bar in lung regeneration

2014-03-07

In end-stage lung disease, transplantation is sometimes the only viable therapeutic option, but organ availability is limited and rejection presents an additional challenge. Innovative research efforts in the field of tissue regeneration, including pioneering discoveries by University of Vermont (UVM) Professor of Medicine Daniel Weiss, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues, holds promise for this population, which includes an estimated 12.7 million people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), the third leading cause of death in the U.S. In the past year alone, Weiss ...

New NASA Van Allen Probes observations helping to improve space weather models

2014-03-07

Using data from NASA's Van Allen Probes, researchers have tested and improved a model to help forecast what's happening in the radiation environment of near-Earth space -- a place seething with fast-moving particles and a space weather system that varies in response to incoming energy and particles from the sun. When events in the two giant doughnuts of radiation around Earth – called the Van Allen radiation belts -- cause the belts to swell and electrons to accelerate to 99 percent the speed of light, nearby satellites can feel the effects. Scientists ultimately want ...

NASA satellites see double tropical trouble for Queensland, Australia

2014-03-07

There are two developing areas of tropical low pressure that lie east and west of Queensland, Australia. System 96P and System 98P, respectively. The MODIS instrument that flies aboard both NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites captured images of both tropical trouble-makers as each satellite passed overhead on March 7. In the Coral Sea, part of the Southwestern Pacific Ocean, System 96P was just 125 nautical miles/143.8 miles/231.5 km north-northeast of Willis Island, Australia. It was centered near 14.3 south latitude and 150.6 east longitude. System 96P is moving in south-southwesterly ...

The dark side of fair play

2014-03-07

We often think of playing fair as an altruistic behavior. We're sacrificing our own potential gain to give others what they deserve. What could be more selfless than that? But new research from Northeastern University assistant professor of philosophy Rory Smead suggests another, darker origin behind the kindly act of fairness. Smead studies spite. It's a conundrum that evolutionary biologists and behavioral philosophers have been mulling over for decades, and it's still relatively unclear why the seemingly pointless behavior sticks around. Technically ...

Service is key to winery sales

2014-03-07

ITHACA, N.Y. – To buy, or not to buy? That is the question for the more than 5 million annual visitors to New York's wineries. Cornell University researchers found that customer service is the most important factor in boosting tasting room sales, but sensory descriptions of what flavors consumers might detect were a turn-off. The findings stem from two studies on how the tasting room experience affects customer purchases and what wineries can do to create satisfied sippers, published in the current issue of the International Journal of Wine Business Research. "On average, ...
