As cities grow, so does the number of buildings that characterize them: office towers, factories, shopping malls, and high-rise apartment buildings. These structures depend on artificial ventilation systems to keep clean and cool air flowing to the people inside. We know these systems by the term 'air-conditioning'.

Much research has looked at how the circulation of air inside a closed environment - such as an office building - can spread disease or expose occupants to harmful chemicals. One of the more widely publicized dangers is that of Legionnaire's disease, which was firs...

For other animals, such as birds, the migration includes a return trip home. Birds move in periodic migration, or at regular times during their lives, and often to the same place year after year. Many experiments have been made with birds in an attempt to find out what guid...
