Maglev trains race along an environmental track to reality

Article Abstract:

Seven states are competing for the $950 million the Federal Railroad Administration is offering to build a magnetically levitated passenger train line. The demonstration line, if completed on schedule, would be the first maglev train in the world, and would serve to illustrate the potential energy efficiency and pollution reduction of the technology.

The genetics behind environmental stress

Article Abstract:

Researchers at Miami University of Ohio's zoology department are trying to determine what the best DNA-based ecological indicator is for evaluating ecosystem health. Jim Oris, a Miami University professor of zoology, is studying the genetic diversity of the Lahontan redside shiner fish and the signal crayfish within the allozymes, microsatellites and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technologies. These three technologies and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science To Achieve Results (STAR) program that funds the evaluation of new technologies.
