Spike in senior traffic deaths fuels new safety initiative
2014-03-05
In Florida, where one in five drivers is age 65 or above, more senior citizens die in traffic accidents than any other state. This problem is likely to become even more pronounced as Florida's population of elderly drivers continues to grow in the coming years. By 2030, government estimates predict that people age 65 and older will account for one in four Florida drivers.
Elsewhere in the country, senior driving safety has also been a matter of growing concern in recent years. Nationwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of ...
Issues may arise when a Georgia parent attempts to move with a child
2014-03-05
In Georgia, one of the most important things to get resolved during any child custody dispute is the establishment of a workable parenting plan. Indeed, it is these plans that dictate when, and where, a child will be in each parent's care. However, while parenting plans can often give parents the security of knowing what to expect in regards to most child custody issues, these plans may not be able to help when quarrels ignite following one parent's attempt to move to another city or state with the child.

Property Division: Be informed and be careful of what you ask for...
2014-03-05
Minnesota provides statutory guidelines for the division of assets. For those couples who cannot agree on how assets are to be divided, the court is asked to make those decisions for them. And, sometimes, those decisions can surprise everyone.
In Szarke v. Szarke, a Minnesota couple learned the hard way that a simple disagreement can lead to unpredictable outcomes in court, leaving both spouses out in the cold. Nearby Wright County, Minnesota, residents litigated the division of their marital assets, after being unable to come to an agreement. Both spouses agreed that ...

Space Station Sensor to Capture 'Striking' Lightning Data
2014-03-05
Keeping a spare on hand simply makes sense. Just as drivers keep spare tires on hand to replace a flat or blowout, NASA routinely maintains "spares," too. These flight hardware backups allow NASA to seamlessly continue work in the unlikely event something goes down for a repair. When projects end, these handy spares can sometimes find second lives in new areas for use.
Researchers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., developed a sophisticated piece of flight hardware called a Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) to detect and locate lightning ...

Ultra-high-field MRI may allow earlier diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
2014-03-05
OAK BROOK, Ill. – New research shows that ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides detailed views of a brain area implicated in Parkinson's disease, possibly leading to earlier detection of a condition that affects millions worldwide. The results of this research are published online in the journal Radiology.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disease characterized by shaking, stiffness, and impaired balance and coordination. With no radiologic techniques available to aid in diagnosis, clinicians have had to rely on medical history and neurological ...
3D scans map widespread fish disease
2014-03-05
AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT Seventy-five per cent of antibiotics in Danish fish farms is used to treat fish with enteric redmouth disease. With the help of 3D scans, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have mapped how the fish are infected with the bacterium. The findings were recently published in the scientific publication PLOS ONE.
Fascinating 3D images of rainbow trout give researchers a crystal clear picture of how the bacterium causing enteric redmouth disease infects fish.
"The new scans show us that the fish are infected through their ultra-thin gills," explains ...
Muscle-controlling neurons know when they mess up, according to Penn research
2014-03-05
Whether it is playing a piano sonata or acing a tennis serve, the brain needs to orchestrate precise, coordinated control over the body's many muscles. Moreover, there needs to be some kind of feedback from the senses should any of those movements go wrong. Neurons that coordinate those movements, known as Purkinje cells, and ones that provide feedback when there is an error or unexpected sensation, known as climbing fibers, work in close concert to fine-tune motor control.
A team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University has now begun ...
Motion-sensing cells in the eye let the brain 'know' about directional changes
2014-03-05
How do we "know" from the movements of speeding car in our field of view if it's coming straight toward us or more likely to move to the right or left?
Scientists have long known that our perceptions of the outside world are processed in our cortex, the six-layered structure in the outer part of our brains. But how much of that processing actually happens in cortex? Do the eyes tell the brain a lot or a little about the content of the outside world and the objects moving within it?
In a detailed study of the neurons linking the eyes and brains of mice, biologists at UC ...
New approach to breast reconstruction surgery reduces opioid painkiller use
2014-03-05

The method includes new pain control techniques, preventive anti-nausea treatment and getting women eating and walking soon after free flap breast reconstruction surgery. It has proved so effective, it is now being used across plastic surgery at Mayo Clinic. The findings were being presented at the Plastic ...
Study: Greater music dynamics in shoebox-shaped concert halls
2014-03-05
Therefore, such a concert hall shape affects perceived dynamic range even though rooms itself amplify all passages the same amount.
"Dynamic expression is an inseparable part of music. For this reason, a concert hall's ability to transmit the orchestra's played dynamics is one of the most important criteria of good acoustics. Our research is the first that explains how halls influence perception of dynamic expression," Dr. Jukka Pätynen says.
The importance of early lateral reflections to good concert hall acoustics has been known for decades. Earlier, they were believed ...
Prequel outshines the original: Exceptional fossils of 160 million year old doahugou biota

A new paper published in latest issue of the ...
What bat brains might tell us about human brains
2014-03-05
WASHINGTON — Could a new finding in bats help unlock a mystery about the human brain? Likely so, say researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center who have shown that a small region within the amygdala, an almond-shaped structure in the brains of all mammals, is responsible for producing emotional calls and sounds. They say this discovery might be key to locating a similar center in human brains.
Localizing and manipulating this center in the human brain may provide a way to treat malfunctions in emotional responses, resulting, for example, in pathological aggression, ...
