Database of water, wastewater pipeline infrastructure systems to be launched Sept. 1
2011-08-25
Blacksburg, Va. – Unfortunately, more than two million miles of the nation's infrastructure of water and wastewater pipelines are underground and nearing the end of their useful life.

UC Davis researchers find disease-causing fat cells in those with metabolic syndrome
2011-08-25
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — UC Davis Health System researchers have discovered biological indicators that help explain why some obese people develop chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and others do not.
The researchers took a novel approach of looking specifically at the body fat of people with metabolic syndrome -- a condition characterized by increased blood pressure, high-fasting blood-sugar levels, excess abdominal fat and abnormal cholesterol levels. They found the fat cells released biomarkers associated with insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, ...
