| Posted: 13 Aug 2013 05:14 PM PDT Scientists have analyzed traffic control measures intended to boost red light revenue -- such as shortening yellow light time or increasing the speed limit on a street -- to determine if they compromise safety.  |
| Brain scans may help diagnose dyslexia Posted: 13 Aug 2013 05:14 PM PDT A new study shows that differences in a key language structure can be seen even before children start learning to read.  |
| Children with allergy, asthma may be at higher risk for ADHD Posted: 13 Aug 2013 10:03 AM PDT Researchers have found that there is an increased risk of ADHD in boys that have a history of allergy or asthma. The study also found an even stronger risk associated with milk intolerance.  |
| Wireless devices go battery-free with new communication technique Posted: 13 Aug 2013 10:03 AM PDT Engineers have created a new wireless communication system that allows devices to interact with each other without relying on batteries or wires for power. The technology could enable a network of devices and sensors to communicate with no power source or human attention needed.  |
| Crowdsourcing weather using smartphone batteries Posted: 13 Aug 2013 09:16 AM PDT A group of smartphone app developers and weather experts have developed a way to use the temperature sensors built into smartphone batteries to crowdsource weather information. These tiny thermometers usually prevent smartphones from dangerously overheating, but the researchers discovered the battery temperatures tell a story about the environment around them.  |
| Mediterranean diet counteracts a genetic risk of stroke Posted: 13 Aug 2013 08:17 AM PDT A gene variant strongly associated with development of type 2 diabetes appears to interact with a Mediterranean diet pattern to prevent stroke, report researchers. The results are a significant advance for nutrigenomics, the study of the linkages between nutrition and gene function.  |
| Sugar toxic to mice in 'safe' doses, test finds Posted: 13 Aug 2013 08:17 AM PDT When mice ate a diet of 25 percent extra sugar -- the mouse equivalent of a healthy human diet plus three cans of soda daily -- females died at twice the normal rate and males were a quarter less likely to hold territory and reproduce, according to a toxicity test developed at the University of Utah.  |
| People prefer products that help them 'save face' in embarrassing moments Posted: 13 Aug 2013 07:19 AM PDT People who are feeling embarrassed are more likely to choose items that hide or "repair" the face, according to new research. The research indicates that feelings of embarrassment can be alleviated by using so-called "restorative" products -- effectively helping people to "save face."  |
| More siblings means less chance of divorce as adult Posted: 13 Aug 2013 07:18 AM PDT Growing up with siblings may provide some protection against divorce as an adult, a new nationwide study reveals.  |
| Love and work don't always work for working class in America, study shows Posted: 13 Aug 2013 07:18 AM PDT The decline and disappearance of stable, unionized full-time jobs with health insurance and pensions for people who lack a college degree has had profound effects on working-class Americans who now are less likely to get married, stay married, and have their children within marriage than those with college degrees, a new study has found.  |
