Social media however, is a very time consuming process that requires daily actions that can take up hours per day. And not only is social media ...

Even for communities near the coastal plain, it can be easy to forget the importance of clean drinking water and the infrastructure necessary to maintain it. That is why the Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority (NRWASA) six years ago placed an emphasis on finding a feasible alternative to replace the already-limited groundwater sources. But in order to find a solution, the authority needed the assistance of one of the state's top engineering firms: The Wooten Company. Operating in four locations across the state (including its downtown Greenville office), The Wooten ...

Scientists have developed a new method of creating nanoporous materials with potential applications in everything from water purification to chemical sensors. In order to produce a porous material it is necessary to have multiple components. When the minor component is removed, small pores are left in its place. Until now, creating nanoporous materials was limiting as it was believed the minor component had to be connected throughout the structure as well as to the outside in order for it to be removed. However, new research published today (Sunday, 27 November) in ...

STANFORD, Calif. — Neuroscientists at Stanford University School of Medicine have homed in on potential differences in autistic people's brain cells by studying brainlike spheres grown in an elaborate process from skin cells.

Autism is a spectrum of developmental disorders of impaired social and verbal ...

Potential clues to how autism miswires the brain are emerging from a study of a rare, purely genetic form of the disorders that affects fewer than 20 people worldwide. Using cutting-edge "disease-in a-dish" technology, researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have grown patients' skin cells into neurons to discover what goes wrong in the brain in Timothy Syndrome. Affected children often show symptoms of autism spectrum disorders along with a constellation of physical problems. Abnormalities included changes in the composition of cells in the cortex, ...

States that have shifted funds away from tobacco control programs may be missing out on significant savings, according to a new study co-authored by San Francisco State University economist Sudip Chattopadhyay.
