Climate adaptation of rice

2011-07-14

Seattle – Rice – which provides nearly half the daily calories for the world's population – could become adapted to climate change and some catastrophic events by colonizing its seeds or plants with the spores of tiny naturally occurring fungi, just-published U.S. Geological Survey-led research shows. In an effort to explore ways to increase the adaptability of rice to climatic scourges such as tsunamis and tidal surges that have already led to rice shortages, USGS researchers and their colleagues colonized two commercial varieties of rice with the spores of fungi that ...

Do women have what it takes?

2011-07-14

EVANSTON, Ill. --- So much has changed since 1963, when Betty Friedan's influential "The Feminine Mystique" provoked a national discussion about the deep dissatisfaction women were feeling about the limitations of their lives. Many women came to believe that discrimination limited their opportunities, especially in relation to leadership roles. But a new Northwestern University meta-analysis (an integration of a large number of studies addressing the same question) shows that even today leadership continues to be viewed as culturally masculine. Thus, women suffer from ...

Determining Liability in a Car Accident

2011-07-14

If you have been hurt in a car accident, you may want to file a lawsuit against the other driver and his insurance company. In order to win a personal injury case, you must prove the other drive was at fault, or liable, for your injuries. If a loved one has died due to someone else's reckless driving, you will have to prove the other driver was responsible for your loved one's death. Proving Fault in a Car Accident In its purest form, fault for causing an accident is either created by statute or defined by common law. Common law recognizes four basic levels of fault: - ...

Narrowest bridges of gold are also the strongest, study finds

2011-07-14

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- At an atomic scale, the tiniest bridge of gold -- that made of a single atom -- is actually the strongest, according to new research by engineers at the University at Buffalo's Laboratory for Quantum Devices. The counterintuitive finding is the result of experiments probing the characteristics of atomic-scale necks of gold that formed when the pointed, gold tip of a cantilever was pushed into a flat, gold surface. An examination of these tiny, gold bridges revealed that they were stiffest when they comprised just a single atom. The study was published ...

Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

2011-07-14

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists should wear helmets and protective clothing whenever operating their bikes. Motorcycles require more skill and attention to drive than passenger vehicles, which is why the NHTSA also recommends bikers take special courses to learn defensive driving and proper operation of their vehicles. However, even the safest biker cannot always avoid a motorcycle accident, and despite protective clothing and helmets, bikers run a much higher risk of sustaining serious injury in an accident. When ...
