Megacities breathe, consume energy, excrete wastes and pollute [NEWS] A scientific trend to view the world's biggest cities as analogous to living, breathing organisms is fostering a deep new understanding of how poor air quality in megacities can harm residents, people living far downwind, and also play a major role in global climate change. That's the conclusion of a report on the “urban metabolism” model of megacities presented here today at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Charles Kolb, Ph.D., reports that the conce… LifeSciencesWorld.comTSX joins global selloff The Toronto stock market joined other indexes around the world in a sharp selloff Monday as investors sold off across all sectors on worries that the American consumer won't be much help in building a strong economic recovery.

Renewable Energy WorldInnovative spout will increase maple production up to 90 percent (University of Vermont) An innovative spout for maple syrup tapping developed by researchers at the University of Vermont will increase sap production by 50 to 90 percent per tree. The spout blocks bacterial backflow into the tree's tap hole, a pervasive phenomenon. Bacterial backflow stimulates the tree's wound response system and closes off the tap hole, ending sap flow. The new spout, which has over 1 million advance orders, will also mitigate the impact of global warming on the maple sugaring season.
