Depending on its altitude, ozone can be either friend or foe. Ozone moves through our skies naturally, and so-called 'ozone intrusions'can be monitored using a relatively simple radar instrument. Although low-level ozone, ozone pollution, is frequently caused by humans, sudden natural changes in the altitude of the upper boundary of the troposphere can also play a role in the distribution of ozone. Study Looks At Benefits Of Two Cochlear Implants In Deaf Children
Nature has outfitted us with a pair of ears for good reason: having two ears enhances hearing. University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists are now examining whether this is also true for the growing numbers of deaf children who've received not one, but two, cochlear implants to help them hear. Floating Effective For Stress And Pain, Research Suggests
Relaxation in large, sound- and light-proof tanks with high-salt water -- floating -- is an effective way to alleviate long-term stress-related pain. Sleep was improved, patients felt more optimistic, and the content of the vitalizing hormone prolactin increased. Anxiety, stress, depression, and perception of pain declined. MIDI Ironing Boards, Theremin Crutches Squeal at Handmade Music Event
Tweakers make a racket when they unveil electro-musical oddities at Brooklyn gathering. Seepage Of Drugs From Hog Farms Not An Environmental Problem, Study Su
Environmental activists have long criticized pharmaceutical use by hog farmers and veterinarians in treating swine disease, saying pharmaceuticals are being overused and errantly contaminating the environment. But new research suggests that environmental contamination from antibiotics does not pose appreciable risks to soil and aquatic organisms. The scientists have determined that pharmaceuticals represent negligible environmental risk if used as instructed.
