Oceanographers develop 'swarms' of robotic ocean explorers In an effort to plug gaps in knowledge about key ocean processes, the National Science Foundation's division of ocean sciences has awarded nearly $1 million to scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. The Scripps marine scientists will develop a new breed of ocean-probing instruments. Jules Jaffe and Peter Franks will spearhead an effort to design and deploy autonomous underwater explorers, or AUEs. AUEs will trace the fine details of oceanographic processes vital to tiny marine inhabitants. Contact: Cheryl Dybas

Dust control research leads to a NIOSH grant to facilitate adoption of hazard controls In the construction industry, respiratory disease, often leading to disability or an increased risk of cancer, is a major public health concern. Studies led by Deborah Young-Corbett of Virginia Tech's School of Construction have shown that specific types of sanding tools are highly effective in reducing the dust that causes these health hazards. Theodore Koebel of urban affairs and planning at Virginia Tech has identified strategies to encourage the construction industry to adopt the new technologies.

Rice wins NIH funding for oral-cancer test Rice University has won a $2 million NIH stimulus grant to develop an inexpensive test for oral cancer that a dentist or oral surgeon could perform by passing a brush over a suspicious lesion. Oral cancers have a five-year survival rate around 50 percent, largely because of late diagnoses. Rice's test would take less than 30 minutes, require no scalpels or off-site lab tests and could be ready for clinical tests within two years.
