Some experts dismiss all studies of Internet use as flawed, since there is no reasonable way to control for the myriad variables that may affect such research. For its part, Facebook declined to address the specific findings of the new study but issued a statement on Monday, April 13, saying that Facebook isn't the only diversion around; TV and video games can be just as distracting as online social networks. The company also pointed to a study released earlier this month by researchers at the University of Melbourne showing that personal Internet use at work can help focus workers...
...firm wants to speculate on interest rates that's fine. There is nothing that prevents them from using TARP that way," says Dean Baker, who is the co-founder of the Washington, D.C. liberal-leaning think tank the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "But I am not sure that helps the economy, and if they were to get that wrong the firm and taxpayers would be much worse...
...study took advantage of the university's unique Biosphere 2 research facility. The 7.2 million-cubic-foot dome - famous for an experiment in the early 1990s when eight people lived inside it for two years - allows scientists to recreate almost any climate on Earth. Adams and his collaborators kept two groups of piñon trees inside Biosphere 2 in nearly identical conditions. One key difference: for the experimental group, researchers ramped up the temperature 7° Fahrenheit (4° Celsius), the rough midpoint of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's business-as-usual predictions for warming in this...
...Researchers have used injections of patients' own stem cells to reverse the course of type 1 diabetes, reports a research team from the University of São Paulo in Brazil and Northwestern University in Chicago...
...research team, led by Dr. Julio Voltarelli of the University of Sao Paulo, is the first to successfully treat type 1 diabetes patients with their own stem cells. The group first reported its initial achievement in 2007, with 15 type 1 diabetes patients who received their own stem cells and no longer needed insulin to control their blood sugar levels. In the new study, a follow-up of their previous work, Voltarelli and his colleagues detailed the same success with an additional eight patients, and also confirmed that in the majority of them, the stem cell transplant...
