Press Releases Scientific study: Sleep makes children smarter A research project has been launched to study for the first time whether
children perform better at school when they sleep longer and more soundly.
Children in primary school will participate in a special training to improve
their sleep behaviour. Experts will then examine how this affects the
children's performance at school. This study - which is supported by the
Austrian Science Fund (FWF) - will not only provide valuable scientific
insight into sleeping behaviour, but will also evaluate sleep improvement
techniques that can be taught to all children with the aim of improving
their performance at school. Molecular Genealogy in the Arctic Sediment Heat-loving bacteria found in the Arctic seabed have their origins in
oil springs and the depths of the Earth's crust. This is the finding of
a project supported by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, which used molecular
biology to study "misplaced" bacteria such as these. The possibility
that molecular biology could also help track down oil fields gives the
project an interesting economic twist. > Archives |
