FlowingData - Olympian age distributions compared

Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Contents: Olympian age distributions compared Olympian age distributions compared Jul 13, 2012 09:18 am  •  Permalink Last week, the Washington Post compared the ages of Olympians, but it only focused on range, so you couldn't see the variation in between. For example, Dara Torres was 41 at her last Olympics so the bar was stretched to the right even though there were no other swimmers near that age. Plus the Post piece was US-only. So Gregory Matthews took the statistician's route and box plotted the age of all olympians from all countries. This barebones layout of course sacrifices the relatability of the first, but it's easier to see the distributions of each sport and to spot the outliers. Apparently there was an 11-year-old swimmer Yip Tsz Wa at the 2004 games in Athens. Wha? To follow me on Twitter, click here.

Mutation in gene IDH a possible target for AML treatment Posted: 13 Jul 2012 07:39 PM PDT Though the IDH gene seems far removed from cancer, mutation in the gene starts a cascade that predicts an aggressive form of AML. Doctors may be able to target this mutation for therapy.

How to make global fisheries worth five times more Posted: 13 Jul 2012 07:39 PM PDT Rebuilding global fisheries would make them five times more valuable while improving ecology, according to a new study.

Poisons on public lands put wildlife at risk Posted: 13 Jul 2012 07:39 PM PDT Rat poison used on illegal marijuana farms may be sickening and killing the fisher, a rare forest carnivore that makes its home in some of the most remote areas of California, according to veterinary scientists.

Getting amped: Instrument for exploring the cosmos and the quantum world created Posted: 13 Jul 2012 01:19 PM PDT Researchers have developed a new type of amplifier for boosting electrical signals. The device can be used for everything from studying stars, galaxies, and black holes to exploring the quantum world and developing quantum computers.

Mechanical engineers develop an 'intelligent co-pilot' for cars Posted: 13 Jul 2012 11:01 AM PDT Mechanical engineers have developed a new semiautonomous safety system for automobiles.

New proteins to clear the airways in cystic fibrosis and COPD Posted: 13 Jul 2012 09:29 AM PDT Scientists discovered a new strategy to help CF and COPD patients clear the thick and sticky mucus clogging their lungs, leading to life-threatening infections. The report shows the "SPLUNC1" protein and its derivative peptides may help thin mucus by affecting the epithelial sodium channel. Along with its implications for cystic fibrosis and COPD, the research enhances the understanding of hypertension due to its role in controlling blood pressure.

In the mind of the psychopath Posted: 13 Jul 2012 09:29 AM PDT Ice cold, hard and emotionless. Such is the psychopath – we think. Until we get a glimpse behind the mask. Researchers have for decades been almost unanimous in their accord with the popular perception that psychopaths are made in a certain way, and will forever remain that way. But some experts disagree. New research reveals that psychopaths had an upbringing quite different from that of the so-called normal members of the population.

Questionnaire completed by parents may help identify one-year-olds at risk for autism Posted: 13 Jul 2012 09:28 AM PDT Researchers have found that 31 percent of children identified as at risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at 12 months received a confirmed diagnosis of ASD by age 3 years. In addition, 85 percent of the children found to be at risk for ASD based on results from the First Year Inventory (FYI), a 63-item questionnaire filled out by their parents, had some other developmental disability or concern by age three.

Salt cress genome yields new clues to salt tolerance Posted: 13 Jul 2012 06:16 AM PDT Biologists have completed the genomic sequence and analysis of salt cress Thellungiella salsuginea, a wild salt-tolerant plant. The salt cress genome serves as a useful tool for exploring mechanisms of adaptive evolution and sheds new lights on understanding the genetic characteristics underlying plant abiotic stress tolerance.

New tech for complex micro structures for use in sensors and other apps Posted: 13 Jul 2012 06:16 AM PDT Chemists have developed new materials and nanofabrication techniques for building miniaturized versions of components needed for medical diagnostics, sensors and other applications. These miniaturized components -- many impossible to make with conventional techniques -- would allow for rapid analysis at lower cost and with small sample volumes.

Copper's previously unknown exit strategy from the body Posted: 13 Jul 2012 06:16 AM PDT Scientists have long known that the body rids itself of excess copper and various other minerals by collecting them in the liver and excreting them through the liver's bile. However, a new study suggests that when this route is impaired there's another exit route just for copper: A molecule sequesters only that mineral and routes it from the body through urine.

Chemicals in personal care products -- phthalates -- may increase risk of diabetes in women Posted: 13 Jul 2012 05:31 AM PDT Researchers have shown an association between increased concentrations of phthalates in the body and an increased risk of diabetes in women. Phthalates are endocrine disrupting chemicals that are commonly found in personal care products such as moisturizers, nail polishes, soaps, hair sprays and perfumes.

Glasses-free 3-D TV looks nearer: Multiple-perspective method could beat holography in short term Posted: 13 Jul 2012 05:08 AM PDT As striking as it is, the illusion of depth now routinely offered by 3-D movies is a paltry facsimile of a true three-dimensional visual experience. In the real world, as you move around an object, your perspective on it changes. But in a movie theater showing a 3-D movie, everyone in the audience has the same, fixed perspective -- and has to wear cumbersome glasses, to boot. Despite impressive recent advances, holographic television, which would present images that vary with varying perspectives, probably remains some distance in the future. But in a new paper, researchers offer a new approach to multiple-perspective, glasses-free 3-D that could prove much more practical in the short term.

Many more elderly people could benefit from drugs to prevent heart disease Posted: 12 Jul 2012 07:48 PM PDT More patients aged 75 and over should be prescribed drugs to help lower their risk of cardiovascular disease, a study published today on bmj.com suggests.

Advanced drug testing method detects 'spice' drugs Posted: 12 Jul 2012 07:45 PM PDT A new method of drug testing makes it possible to detect a wider range of synthetically-produced 'designer' drugs.

• Giving time can give you time
• Chemicals in personal care products -- phthalates -- may increase risk of diabetes in women
• Want to lose weight? Keep a food journal, don't skip meals and avoid going out to lunch

Giving time can give you time Posted: 13 Jul 2012 06:54 AM PDT Many people these days feel a sense of "time famine" -- never having enough minutes and hours to do everything. We all know that our objective amount of time can't be increased (there are only 24 hours in a day), but a new study suggests that volunteering our limited time -- giving it away -- may actually increase our sense of unhurried leisure.

Want to lose weight? Keep a food journal, don't skip meals and avoid going out to lunch Posted: 13 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT Women who want to lose weight should faithfully keep a food journal, and avoid skipping meals and eating in restaurants – especially at lunch – suggests new research.
