Cornell University's Lake Source Cooling project has entered the pilot-testing phase and is operating at about 25 percent of its full capacity to cool central campus facilities by utilizing the naturally cold water of Cayuga Lake.
Women with low body iron, yet who are not anemic, have a much harder time sustaining exercise and adapting to training, concludes a new Cornell study. But after a period of training, iron-deficient women who boost their body iron by taking supplements can improve their exercise endurance twice as much as iron-depleted women.
The genetic mechanism that through millennia of evolution has created plump and juicy fruits and vegetables could also be involved in the proliferation of human cancer cells. Plant biologists and computer scientists at Cornell University have essentially made a direct genetic connection between the evolutionary processes involved in plant growth and the processes involved in the growth of mammalian tumors.
Can you trust your analyst to pick the best performing stocks? Not always, suggests an award-winning study by two business school professors. When the analyst recommends investing in a newly public company whose initial public offering is underwritten by the corporate financing arm of the analyst's investment bank -- something that happens often -- the choice is likely to be biased and not the best, the study shows.

Drug testing is most effective in reducing workers' compensation experience-rating modification factors in the first three years following the implementation of a program.
Surveying aquatic life from the Great Lakes to small ponds, ecologists at Cornell and the Institute of Ecosystem Studies have found that food-chain length — the number of mouths food passes through on the way to the top predators — is determined by the size of an ecosystem, not by the amount of available food energy.
Three of New York's leading research institutions announced the creation of a $160 million collaborative program in basic biological research sparked by a private donor who will contribute half the total investment.
Beef Field Day will be held Saturday, July 22, on the Cornell campus at Morrison Hall from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. This event is sponsored by the Cornell Department of Animal Science and the New York Beef Producers Association.
Sun Microsystems Inc. and Cornell University have announced plans to construct the technology platform that will pioneer the next generation model for digital libraries.
Cornell graduate students Andrew Harwood and Michael Lukianoff hope to create a wine growers' cooperative and winery in Virginia that will help farmers in depressed rural communities there replace their tobacco crops with biodynamically grown grapes.
