Just In Time For Valentine's Day: Falling In Love In Three Minutes Or
It seems that the heart wants what the heart wants -- and it can figure it out fairly quickly, according to evolutionary psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania. The researchers studied dating data from 10,526 anonymous participants of HurryDate, a company that organizes "speed dating"sessions, and found rare behavioral data on how people genuinely act in dating situations. Hospital Food Could Lack Nutritional Value
Substantial nutrient loss in food occurs in hospital foodservice operations, according to research recently published in the Journal of Foodservice. The study quantifies how much Vitamin C, as a marker of nutrient quality, is retained at various stages of processing at two New Jersey hospitals. New Flexible Plastic Solar Panels Are Inexpensive And Easy To Make
Researchers have developed an inexpensive solar cell that can be painted or printed on flexible plastic sheets. "Someday homeowners will even be able to print sheets of these solar cells with inexpensive home-based inkjet printers. Consumers can then slap the finished product on a wall, roof or billboard to create their own power stations,"according to the scientists. Does Missing Gene Point To Nocturnal Existence For Early Mammals?
A gene that makes cells in the eye receptive to light is missing in humans, researchers have discovered. They say that whereas some animals like birds, fish and amphibians have two versions of this photoreceptor, mammals, including humans, only have one. New Choices For Patients: Transfusion-free Medicine For Jehovah's Witn
Transfusion-free medicine for Jehovah's Witnesses and patients wary of blood transfusions has been pioneered. Bloodless medicine practices have shown outcomes that can benefit the entire patient community, including shorter hospital stays, and the elimination of transfusion-related complications. The Sound Of A Distant Rumble: Researchers Track Underwater Noise Gene
Underwater sound picked up by the network that monitors the globe for nuclear test explosions, enabled researchers to analyze the rupture as it progressed along the Sumatra Fault on December 26. The study found that the earthquake may have occurred in two distinct phases and points to the need for scientists and disaster response officials to have access to the monitoring data in real time. Helping Chlorine-eating Bacteria Clean Up Toxic Waste
By combining lab experiments with computer modeling, researchers hope to learn how bacteria that break down pollutants do their job and then make them more effective in cleaning up toxic waste. Eating And Body Weight Regulated By Specific Neurons
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine provide direct evidence that two parts of a neuronal system, one that promotes eating and another that suppresses eating, are critical for the acute regulation of eating and body weight, according to a study published online in the September 11 issue of Nature Neuroscience. [Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Scientists Discover Secret Behind Human Red Blood Cell's Amazing Flexi
A human red blood cell is a dimpled ballerina, ceaselessly spinning, tumbling, bending, and squeezing through openings narrower than its width to dispense life-giving oxygen to every corner of the body. In a paper published in the October issue of Annals of Biomedical Engineering, a team of UCSD researchers describe a mathematical model that explains how a mesh-like protein skeleton gives a healthy human red blood cell amazing properties.
