Are Current Projections Of Climate Change Impacts On Biodiversity Misl
Are patterns of current climate sufficient to explain and predict the diversity of life found on the planet? A new theory proposes that historical climate patterns are of strong importance to diversity prediction. Progesterone Injections Do Not Prevent Preterm Birth In Twin Pregnanci
Weekly progesterone injections do not prevent premature births in women pregnant with twins, a new study has found. The result came as a surprise to the researchers, who previously discovered that weekly injections of the naturally occurring hormone, 17-OHPC, reduced additional preterm births by one-third in women whose previous babies were born prematurely. Birth control pill for men? Scientists find a hormonal on-and-off swit
Scientists have found how and where androgenic hormones work in the testis to control normal sperm production and male fertility. This opens a promising avenue for the development of "the pill" for men. The discovery also offers hope to those who cannot have children because of low sperm counts. Go Go Google Gadgets

A protein that plays a key role in copying DNA also plays a vital role in repairing breaks in it, scientists have found. The work is helping researchers understand how cancer cells can resist radiation and chemotherapy, as well as how cells become cancerous in the first place. Sensor Web Simulation Investigates Technique To Improve Prediction Of
For asthmatics and for anyone with respiratory problems, air pollution can significantly impair simple everyday activities. NASA is trying to tie together satellites and stations on the ground to develop a "sensor web"to track this pollution and improve air quality forecasts. One for the High Jump
Now that we know London is to host the 2012 Olympic Games and plans for Beijing are presumably well under way, physicists in Brazil have plenty of time to anticipate an opportunity to test their latest theories about long run-ups and vertical take-offs in events such as the high jump and long jump... Gay Or Straight? Body Type And Motion Reveals Sexual Orientation, Stud
An individual's body motion and body type can offer subtle cues about their sexual orientation, but casual observers seem better able to read those cues in gay men than in lesbians, according to a new study. Based on measurements, the researchers determined that the gay subjects tended to have more gender-incongruent body types than their straight counterparts (hourglass figures for men, tubular bodies for women) and body motions (hip-swaying for men, shoulder-swaggering for women) than their straight counterparts. How Pain Distracts The Brain
Anybody who's tried to concentrate on work while suffering a headache knows that pain compellingly commands attention -- which is how evolution helped ensure survival in a painful world. Now, researchers have pinpointed the brain region responsible for pain's ability to affect cognitive processing. They have found that this pain-related brain region is distinct from the one involved in cognitive processing interference due to a distracting memory task. Gallery: Smart New Phones at 3GSM
