Warrantless Cell Phone Tracking Common Among Law Enforcement Agencies
2013-03-03
Cell phone location tracking has become an increasingly important law enforcement tool in recent years, allowing police to find suspects or victims in emergencies and complementing more traditional surveillance techniques during routine investigations.
According to evidence compiled by the American Civil Liberties Union from more than 200 police departments across the country, cell phone tracking has also become commonplace and is used by nearly all law enforcement agencies, large and small. However, the ACLU also found that most cell phone tracking data is collected ...

How do bacteria clog medical devices? Very quickly
2013-03-02
A new study has examined how bacteria clog medical devices, and the result isn't pretty. The microbes join to create slimy ribbons that tangle and trap other passing bacteria, creating a full blockage in a startlingly short period of time.
The finding could help shape strategies for preventing clogging of devices such as stents — which are implanted in the body to keep open blood vessels and passages — as well as water filters and other items that are susceptible to contamination. The research was published in Proceedings of the National ...
Postmenopausal women who smoked are more likely to lose teeth due to periodontal disease
2013-03-02
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Postmenopausal women who have smoked are at much higher risk of losing their teeth than women who never smoked, according to a new study published and featured on the cover of the Journal of the American Dental Association by researchers at the University at Buffalo.
The study involved 1,106 women who participated in the Buffalo OsteoPerio Study, an offshoot of the Women's Health Initiative, (WHI), the largest clinical trial and observational study ever undertaken in the U.S., involving more than 162,000 women across the nation, including nearly 4,000 ...
Turn trash into cash... and save energy
2013-03-02
Suppose you could replace "Made in China" with "Made in my garage." Suppose also that every time you polished off a jug of two percent, you would be stocking up on raw material to make anything from a cell phone case and golf tees to a toy castle and a garlic press.
And, you could give yourself a gold medal for being a bona fide, recycling, polar-bear-saving rock star.
Michigan Technological University's Joshua Pearce is working on it. His main tool is open-source 3D printing, which he uses to save thousands of dollars by making everything from his lab equipment to his ...
Short algorithm, long-range consequences
2013-03-02
CAMBRIGDE, MA -- In the last decade, theoretical computer science has seen remarkable progress on the problem of solving graph Laplacians — the esoteric name for a calculation with hordes of familiar applications in scheduling, image processing, online product recommendation, network analysis, and scientific computing, to name just a few. Only in 2004 did researchers first propose an algorithm that solved graph Laplacians in "nearly linear time," meaning that the algorithm's running time didn't increase exponentially with the size of the problem.

Misplaced molecules: New insights into the causes of dementia
2013-03-02
This press release is available in German.
A shortage of a protein called TDP-43 caused muscle wasting and stunted nerve cells. This finding supports the idea that malfunction of this protein plays a decisive role in ALS and FTD. The study is published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA" (PNAS).
ALS is an incurable neurological disease which manifests as rapidly progressing muscle wasting. Both limbs and respiratory muscles are affected. This leads to impaired mobility and breathing problems. Patients commonly die within a few years after ...
Improved synchronicity: Preventive care for the power grid
2013-03-02
President Obama in this year's State of the Union address talked about the future of energy and mentioned "self-healing power grids" -- a grid that is able to keep itself stable during normal conditions and also to self-recover in the event of a disturbance caused, for example, by severe weather.
But as the national power-grid network becomes larger and more complex achieving reliability across the network is increasingly difficult. Now Northwestern University scientists have identified conditions and properties that power companies can consider using to keep power generators ...

Distracted driving: It's more than just your eyes
Article provided by Carter & Fulton, P.S.
Visit us at http://www.carterfultonlaw.com
Sending or receiving a text message takes a driver's eyes away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds -- long enough to cover a football field at freeway speed, according to researchers at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.
As startling as this statistic may be, what many people do not realize is that texting while driving is about more than a driver's failure to keep his or her eyes on the road. While watching ...
