"Smarter Research With All Statistics In Your Hands"

"We have sensitive body parts wired to the same area of the brain as rodents' fine-tuned whiskers. In people, "stimulating the fingers, lips or face in general could all have a similar effect," says UCI doctoral student Melissa Davis, co-author of the study, which appears in the June issue of PLoS ONE. "It's gender-neutral," adds co-author Ron Frostig, professor of neurobiology & behavior. He cautions that the research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is a first step, albeit an important one.... "with the potential for maybe doing things before a victim even reaches the emergency room.""

The NeuroCommons project seeks to make all scientific research materials - research articles, knowledge bases, research data, physical materials - as available and as usable as they can be. We do this by fostering practices that render information in a form that promotes uniform access by computational agents - sometimes called "interoperability". We want knowledge sources to combine easily and meaningfully, enabling semantically precise queries that span multiple information sources.

PlagiarismDetection.org offers an innovative, user-friendly online tool that helps students and instructors with detection and prevention of academic plagiarism. Our sophisticated, yet easy-to-use detector conducts thorough and in-detail detection for plagiarism of a submitted document within a few minutes only.

"Doch nicht nur homo sapiens beherrscht die Kunst der Wahrheitsverfälschung. Mit dem Lügen ist es wie mit dem Sex: Alle tun es - Pflanzen und Insekten, Fische und Säuger... Das ganze Leben ist ein einziges Lügengespinst. Umso erstaunlicher ist, dass wir Schwindlern dennoch immer wieder aufs Neue auf den Leim gehen. Doch obwohl wir es eigentlich besser wissen sollten, haben wir im Schnitt nur eine Trefferquote von 50 zu 50, um den Unterschied zwischen Lüge und Wahrheit zu erkennen. Der Grund: Die Wahrnehmung ist nur beschränkt aufnahmefähig. Was sie überfordert, blendet sie aus. Und auch Personalchefs erhalten einen wertvollen Hinweis: Männliche Mitarbeiter zwischen 36 und 45 Jahren, die besonders erfolgsorientiert, entscheidungsfreudig, extrovertiert, gut im Betrieb integriert, unbescholten und überdurchschnittlich gebildet sind, sollten ihnen suspekt sein. Dies nämlich, so haben die internationale Wirtschaftsprüfungsfirma KPMG und die Universität St. Gallen herausgefunden, sind die typischen Merkmale eines Wirtschaftsbetrügers. "

eScholarship@UMMS is a digital repository offering worldwide access to the research and scholarly output of the University of Massachusetts Medical School community.

We use data provided by the World Bank to show the main economic indicators of all countries. Each indicator is presented in comparison to several other countries and in terms of changes over time. We discuss the definitions of the various indicators and provide information about the ways in which one can interpret them. See for example, data for the U.S. economic indicators

http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/news_stories/2010/101207.html Peter Rothwell: In this new work, scientists from Oxford, Edinburgh, London and Japan used data on over 670 deaths from cancer in a range of randomised trials involving over 25,000 people. These trials compared daily use of aspirin against no aspirin and were done originally to look for any preventative effect against heart disease. The results, published in the Lancet, showed that aspirin reduced death due to any cancer by around 20% during the trials. But the benefits of aspirin only became apparent after taking the drug for 5 years or more, suggesting aspirin works by slowing or preventing the early stages of the disease so that the effect is only seen much later. After 5 years of taking aspirin, the data from patients in the trials showed that death rates were 34% less for all cancers and as much as 54% less for gastrointestinal cancers, such as oesophagus, stomach, bowel, pancreas and liver cancers.

If there is organic life deep under the ice on Europa, why would we need to disturb it at all? Potential source of unknown viruses etc. Risks of releasing something are low I guess, but the assumption that whatever may be there needs Earth-like conditions to survive and multiply is dangerous.
