With feedlot manure, it pays to be precise

2011-06-03

This release is available in Spanish. The same precision farming techniques that work with crops can work with manure management on cattle feedlots, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists. Agricultural engineers Roger Eigenberg and Bryan Woodbury and their colleagues with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Clay Center, Neb., map the distribution of manure on the surface of feedlots and the flow of liquid manure in rain runoff. This research could lead to both precision harvesting of manure and also precision application of manure ...

Pulling a fast one

2011-06-03

EVANSTON, Ill. --- Do those lightening fast disclaimers at the end of radio and television advertisements scare you away or simply seem like white noise required by regulatory agencies? According to Northwestern University and Wake Forest University research now online in the Journal of Consumer Research, fast disclaimers can give consumers the impression that an advertiser is trying to conceal information. However, trusted brands (versus trust-unknown or not-trusted brands) are immune to the adverse effects of fast disclaimers. "Speak slowly or carry a trusted brand," ...

Man Exonerated After 14 Years Gets No Support from Supreme Court

2011-06-03

It is not certain where John Thompson was one fateful night in December 1984, but one thing is clear: He was not robbing three children in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Thompson's innocence did not prevent the District Attorney's Office in Orleans Parish from building a case against him for the robbery, or from failing to turn over blood evidence to the defense--a failure that would taint his ability to accurately defend himself against charges of robbery and murder. The District Attorney's Office, headed by Harry Connick, Sr., tried and ultimately convicted Thompson of ...

Leakage of private information from popular websites is common, new study finds

2011-06-03

WORCESTER, Mass. – A study of more than 100 popular websites used by tens of millions of people has found that three quarters directly leak either private information or users' unique identifiers to third-party tracking sites. The study, co-authored by Craig Wills, professor of computer science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), also demonstrated how the leakage of private information by many sites, including email addresses, physical addresses, and even the configuration of a user's web browser—so-called browser fingerprints—could permit tracking sites to link many ...

ACSM: Stronger hips improved running mechanics, lessened knee pain

2011-06-03

Hip strengthening exercises performed by female runners not only significantly reduced patellofemoral pain -- a common knee pain experienced by runners -- but they also improved the runners' gaits, according to Indiana University motion analysis expert Tracy Dierks. "The results indicate that the strengthening intervention was successful in reducing pain, which corresponded to improved mechanics," said Dierks, associate professor of physical therapy in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. "The leg was ...

A promising new approach to autoimmune diseases

2011-06-03

BOSTON – Researchers from Harvard Medical School and MIT have developed a new approach for identifying the "self" proteins targeted in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. In a paper published in Nature Biotechnology, H. Benjamin Larman and colleagues showed that errant immune responses which mistakenly target the body's own proteins rather than foreign invaders can now be examined in molecular detail. Further research could lead to new insights into the exact causes of these debilitating autoimmune disorders. The results ...

Depression: Not just for adults

2011-06-03

From a distance, Callie (not her real name) appears to be a normal if quiet 5-year-old girl. But when faced with a toy that blows large soap bubbles—an activity that makes the vast majority of kindergarteners squeal and leap with delight—she is uninterested in popping the bubbles or taking a turn with the gun herself. When offered dolls or other toys, she is equally unmoved. When groups of children congregate to play, Callie does not join them. Even at home, she is quiet and withdrawn. While Callie's mother explains this lack of interest in play as simple "shyness," researchers ...

Want to solve a problem? Don't just use your brain, but your body, too

2011-06-03

When we've got a problem to solve, we don't just use our brains but the rest of our bodies, too. The connection, as neurologists know, is not uni-directional. Now there's evidence from cognitive psychology of the same fact. "Being able to use your body in problem solving alters the way you solve the problems," says University of Wisconsin psychology professor Martha Alibali. "Body movements are one of the resources we bring to cognitive processes." These conclusions, of a new study by Alibali and colleagues—Robert C. Spencer, also at the University of Wisconsin, and Lucy ...

Pediatrics Group Announces New Guidelines for Child Safety Seats

2011-06-03

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently released new recommendations for infants riding in child safety seats. The group announced that infants should ride in rear-facing car seats for as long as possible. Previously, children could ride in forward-facing seats after their first birthday. The group relied on a University of Virginia study indicating that small children are 75 percent less likely to die or suffer severe injuries in a car crash if they are facing the rear of the vehicle. Dr. Dennis R. Durbin, scientific co-director of the Center for Injury Research ...

UF researchers suggest cholera vaccination strategies for Zimbabwe

2011-06-03

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Mathematical models analyzing how a cholera outbreak spread in Zimbabwe are providing new insights into the most effective vaccination strategies for preventing future cholera epidemics, according to University of Florida researchers. The mathematical models employed to analyze a large cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe in 2008-2009 suggest that mass vaccinations deployed strategically could prevent future cholera epidemics in that country and others. The researchers' findings, published online in late April in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...
