Pet Scans Detect Brain Differences In People At Risk For Alzheimer's
Using brain imaging, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) have found clear differences in brain function between healthy people who carry a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and those who lack the factor. Hearing Aids for the Unimpaired
Technology may soon give us superhuman hearing, recorders that prompt names at cocktail parties and even ear devices that look fashionable. Robert Andrews reports from London. Gathering the Jewels/Casglu'r Tlysau: The Website for Welsh Cultural H
This website about Welsh history provides "over 20,000 images of objects, books, letters, aerial photographs and other items from museums, libraries and record offices in Wales."Searchable; or browse by county in Wales or by subjects such as agriculture, industry, arts, religion, politics, education, transportation, domestic life, and war. In English and Welsh. From the National Library of Wales. Field Of Beams: Novel System Uses Polarized Light Pulses To Reveal Cro
By firing rapid pulses of polarized light at corn, spinach and other crops, researchers have uncovered a picture of plant health that is invisible to the naked eye. Using a portable light source and detector technology, the researchers can differentiate minute differences in leaf colors - indicators of over- or under-fertilization, crop-nutrient levels and perhaps even disease. Complementary Therapies Help Patients Recover After Heart Surgery
A new study shows that massage therapy decreases pain levels for patients after heart surgery. Researchers created pilot studies and research protocols for massage therapy, music therapy and guided imagery for patients, as well as stress education classes for patients and family members. Hearing Aid Signal Not Clear? Then Switch Frequency To FM, Finds UCI S
There's a reason why we listen to music on the FM dial of our radios -- it just sounds better than it does on AM. And this reason also holds true for cochlear implants and hearing aids. GM Joins With Sandia To Advance Hydrogen Storage
General Motors Corp. and Sandia National Laboratories have launched a partnership to design and test an advanced method for storing hydrogen based on metal hydrides. Metal hydrides -- formed when metal alloys are combined with hydrogen -- can absorb and store hydrogen within their structures. When subjected to heat, the hydrides release their hydrogen. In a fuel cell system, the hydrogen can then be combined with oxygen to produce electricity. Researchers Find Three Major Beetle Groups Coming Up One Testicle Shor
A surprisingly large number of beetles are missing one of their testes, the male gonads of insects. As far as the researchers who discovered this can tell, the insects are not in any way bothered or impaired by this absence. Naturally Occurring Chemical In Brain Enhances Visual Processing
Neuroscientists have found that a naturally occurring chemical in the brain can enhance visual processing and suggest that this chemical may represent part of the biological basis of visual attention. Ozone Levels May Raise Risk Of Underweight Births: Common Pollutants L
Babies born to women exposed to high ozone levels during pregnancy are at heightened risk for being significantly underweight, according to researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.
