Noise Research to Combat 'Wind Turbine Syndrome'
June 1, 2011 — Australian acoustics researchers are investigating the causes of wind turbine noise with the aim of making them quieter and solving "wind turbine ... > full story -
Sharing Musical Instruments Means Sharing Germs
May 12, 2011 — Disease-causing bacteria can survive for days on wind instruments and may thus contribute to sickness in people who play wind instruments, especially students who share instruments, report ... > full story -
Finding Reserves on the Electrical Grid
May 11, 2011 — The weather determines how much energy wind turbine systems provide. The same applies to power line capacity. On cold and stormy days, this capacity is higher than on days with no wind and high ... > full story -
After a Three-Decade Hiatus, Sea-Level Rise May Return to N. America's West Coast
May 5, 2011 — The West Coast of North America has caught a break that has left sea level in the eastern North Pacific Ocean steady during the last few decades, but there is evidence that a change in wind patterns ... > full story -
