How Do Injured Workers Come to Terms with Fears of Losing Their Job if They File a Workers' Compensation Claim
2011-09-19
Today's economic climate is having a dramatic effect on the health and well-being of injured workers. Skyrocketing unemployment rates and a 15% poverty level is a very scary realization. The impact it is having on injured workers is twofold.
First, an employee that gets injured is typically living on a budget. If he/she gets injured, that employee will have to readjust that budget to compensate for the reduction in income. Workers' Compensation benefits in Pennsylvania pay between Ninety Percent (90%) and Sixty-Six and Two-Thirds (66 2/3%) of the gross wage. This benefit ...

Scientists develop new potato lines to wage war on wireworms
2011-09-19
When wireworms feast on potatoes, the results aren't pretty: The spuds' surfaces are left punctured, pitted and unappealing. For the past few years, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and their colleagues have sought a solution in the form of spuds with genetic resistance to the worms, with special attention focused on two wild potatoes from Chile and Bolivia: Solanum berthaultii and S. etuberosum.
Previous studies showed that the wild potatoes resisted Colorado potato beetles and green peach aphids, two very different pests. Given this broadspread resistance, ...

Fast-evolving genes control developmental differences in social insects
2011-09-19
Genes essential to producing the developmental differences displayed by social insects evolve more rapidly than genes governing other aspects of organismal function, a new study has found.
All species of life are able to develop in different ways by varying the genes they express, ultimately becoming different shapes, sizes, colors and sexes. This plasticity permits organisms to operate successfully in their environments. A new study of the genomes of social insects provides insight into the evolution of the genes involved in this developmental plasticity.
The study, ...
