High to moderate levels of stress lead to higher mortality rate
2011-10-22
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A new study concludes that men who experience persistently moderate or high levels of stressful life events over a number of years have a 50 percent higher mortality rate.
In general, the researchers found only a few protective factors against these higher levels of stress – people who self-reported that they had good health tended to live longer and married men also fared better. Moderate drinkers also lived longer than non-drinkers.
"Being a teetotaler and a smoker were risk factors for mortality," said Carolyn Aldwin, lead author of the study and ...

Grainy asteroids and the craters they leave behind
F. Pacheco-Vazquez and J.C. Ruiz-Suarez
Physical Review Letters (forthcoming)
It's generally accepted that craters in the moons and planets were created by asteroid collisions. But, why are some craters completely flat while others show central peaks? New experiments involving projectiles made of globs of granular material appear to provide a solution to the long-standing mystery: loosely-packed projectiles completely spread after collision, leading to bowl-shaped craters, while tightly-packed globs give rise to central ...
