MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, April 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) Figures show that for the period Apr 2011 - Sep 2011, the average buying price of a used car was GBP8,730.45. For the period Oct 2011 - Mar 2012, this figure decreased to GBP7,697.25. This could suggest that motorists are being more cost-conscious in a still uneasy economy, says Director of carfinance247.co.uk, Louis Rix.
He says: "During the last 6 months, overall, it appears that our customers have been downsizing. This could be due to the fact they do not want the extra worry of having more debt hanging over them, or that they are being more budget-conscious. The lenders the business deals with could also be playing their part as they are lending less to those with a bad credit history."
Mr. Rix also highlighted how there are regional differences, with four of the top five regions (by volume) all spending less on a used car, with expenditure down by 11% (in Lincolnshire); 16% (Warwickshire); and 27% (in both Lothian and Yorkshire respectively).
Leicestershire experienced a 19% increase in second hand car values for the same period.

That impulsive, moody preschooler may grow up to be a problem gambler
2012-04-24
Give me the child at 3 and I will give you the adult compulsive gambler. That is the striking finding of a new study in Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science.
Based on tests of over 900 individuals beginning in toddlerhood, the study found that "people who were rated at age three as being more restless, inattentive, oppositional, and moody than other three-year old children were twice as likely to grow up to have problems with gambling as adults three decades later," says psychologist Wendy S. Slutske of University of ...
High levels of TRAIL protein in breast milk might contribute to anticancer activity
2012-04-24
Los Angeles, CA (April 23, 2012) The benefits of breast milk are well known, but why breastfeeding protects against various forms of cancer remains a mystery. A new study in the Journal of Human Lactation (published by SAGE) found high levels of cancer-fighting TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in human milk, which might be one source of breast milk's anticancer activity.
Researchers took samples of colostrum, the first milk available to newborns, and of mature breast milk from new mothers. Researchers then obtained samples of blood from healthy women, and ...

Researchers find mechanism that gives plants 'balance'
2012-04-24
When a plant goes into defense mode in order to protect itself against harsh weather or disease, that's good for the plant, but bad for the farmer growing the plant. Bad because when a plant acts to defend itself, it turns off its growth mechanism.
But now researchers at Michigan State University, as part of an international collaboration, have figured out how plants can make the "decision" between growth and defense, a finding that could help them strike a balance – keep safe from harm while continuing to grow.
Writing in the current issue of the Proceedings of the ...
Queensland - The Most Expensive State to Run Your Car
2012-04-24
The annual cost of running your car is higher in Queensland than both NSW and Victoria, according to the new Bingle Cost of Motoring Index launched today.
Bingle spokesperson Melanie Vine said the reason for this is petrol, as the average cost is higher and Queenslanders cover more ground.
"On average, Queenslanders pay $411 more for petrol each year compared to New South Wales drivers," she said.
"Before you add petrol, Queenslanders pay less for fines, parking and tolls compared to Victorians, or NSW drivers' generally higher rego, maintenance ...
Brain surgery for epilepsy underutilized
2012-04-24
Ten years ago, a landmark clinical trial in Canada demonstrated the unequivocal effectiveness of brain surgeries for treating uncontrolled epilepsy, but since then the procedure has not been widely adopted—in fact, it is dramatically underutilized according to a new study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
The study, published this month in the journal Neurology, showed that the number of Americans having the surgery has not changed in the decade since release of the effectiveness study, though surgical treatment is now uniformly encouraged by neurology ...
Leeches are DNA bloodhounds in the jungle
2012-04-24
Copenhagen Zoo and University of Copenhagen have in collaboration developed a new and revolutionary, yet simple and cheap, method for tracking mammals in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. They collect leeches from tropical jungles, which have been sucking blood from mammals, and subsequently analyse the blood for mammal DNA. By using this method, the researchers can get an overview of the biodiversity of the mammals without having to find them. The groundbreaking results are to be published in the prestigious scientific journal Current Biology.
"It is not unusual that ...
Obstructive sleep apnea's damage evident after 1 month
2012-04-24
SAN DIEGO—Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder in which there are recurring episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep with ongoing effort to breathe. OSA is estimated to affect 1 in 5 adults in America. The serious nature of the problem was captured in a landmark study which found that middle-age and older men with even mild levels of OSA were in danger of increased risk of stroke and death. While a link between OSA and stroke is clear, OSA's effect on the cerebral (brain) vessels is not. In an effort to shed light on this relationship, researchers in Texas ...
Palms reveal the significance of climate change for tropical biodiversity
2012-04-24
Scientists at Aarhus University have spearheaded research results that shed new light on the processes forming the composition of species assemblages in the tropics.
"It comes as a surprise to us that climate change over millions of years still leaves a signature in the composition of species assemblages we see today. If species are severely affected by current and future climate change, it'll mean that there are long-lasting consequences for biodiversity, maybe over many millions of years to come – at least much longer than we've ever dreamt of before," says Daniel Kissling, ...
