Why is the first day of school so hard?
2007-08-29 04:28:00
Most children going to a school for the first time experience some degree of what experts call separation anxiety. Suddenly, the idea of being cut off from one's mother (or father, or both) and left among strange people in alien surroundings, if only for a few hours, can fill a child with emotions that are close to panic.Children sometimes respond by reverting to infantile behaviour. A five-year-old may act like a toddler, crying for Mom or Dad to stay. Fortunately, most children are rather quick to adapt and such desperate behaviour does not usually last long.Some psychologists suggest that parents take a child to visit the teacher and classroom in advance as a way of reducing a child's anxieties. As a rule, the calmer the parents are, the calmer their children will be. However, remoteness will not reassure a child. Rather, the parent should matter-of-factly try to convey the idea that child, teacher, and parent will be able to work out any problems together.When the time comes f...

What are some of the myths and realities of old age?
2007-08-28 03:32:00
The aging process begins the moment we are born. As we grow older, wear and tear take their toll. With age, there is a gradual loss of lean muscle tissue and bone mass. If there is too much bone loss, the bones become brittle and are more likely to break. The hunched back that sometimes afflicts the elderly is not due to poor posture, but is the result of tiny fractures in the brittle vertebrae of the spine.However, not all health problems of the elderly are caused by old age. Upon visiting her doctor for a pain in her shoulder, one great-grandmother was told: "Well, you know, that shoulder is 83." She snapped back: "So is the other one, but it doesn't hurt a bit." Furthe examination revealed a severe sprain.Much of the aging process can be slowed by proper nutrition and physical activity. Men and women over 65 who took up a regime of exercise and weight lifting actually increased their muscle and bone mass.Many older people are more sensitive to the effects of medication than when...

Why don't we remember before the age of three?
2007-08-21 10:19:00
Somewhere around the age of one, a baby begins to develop short-term memory. He or she becomes clearly aware of certain objects, such as toys or clothes, and can remeber where they have been put away.Up to about the age of three, remembered scenes seem mostly to be like isolated snapshots - full of colour and detail, but lacking a context. The explanation may be that the baby's brain is still growing and has not formed a sufficient network of nerve pathways and connections, the synapses between brain cells, to file new experiences in an organized way.Normally at about age three, as the child's familiarity with language increases, the brain begins to be capable of recalling long-term memories. Interestingly, the word infancy comes from the Latin infans, meaning "incapable of speech." Thus the end of infancy literally means the beginning of speech, and there seems to be little doubt that the power of speech has much to do with the capacity for log-term memory, if only as an unmistak...

What is the cocktail-party effect?
2007-08-20 12:26:00
What we hear depends in large measure on what we can screen out. We have the mysterious ability to tune in on one conversation amid the babble of a crowded room - a phenomenon called the cocktail-party effect. But even when we have filtered out most distractions, certain sounds we care about will jump out at us. We can't help noticing the sound of our own name, for example, however softly it is spoken. In the same way, a sleeping mother will be wakened by a cry from her baby, and a single wrong note by one player in a huge symphony orchestra will catch the ear of the conductor.A country dweller who visits the city is often appalled by the relentless clamor of vehicles and people, which an urban cousin no longer hears; and a teenage student can concentrate while loud rock music is playing, to the amazement of his parents. Also, depending on their attitudes toward the source of the noise, people may hear noises as louder or softer. In one study, for example, people living near a mili...

What are biological rhythms?
2007-08-20 04:39:00
Every moment of our lives, we experience fluctuations in our temperature, blood pressure, brain waves, energy levels, attentiveness, appetite, hormone production, and much more. The beating of our hearts is one such rhythm; so is the menstrual cycle of women. The science of chronobiology is concerned with identifying our cycles and internal clocks and seeing how they interact. Although the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are undoubtedly influential in keeping us on our own schedules, no one yet knows how they how they do it. We are, of course, also influenced by the outside world. Sunrise is nature's prod to wakefulness, and the alarm clock is a man-made aid. But our biological rhythms - with or without external cues - have a persistence and strength that scientists are just beginning to appreciate.When a biological cycle is completed in a period of 24 hours or so, it is called circadian, from the Latin for "about a day." The daily pattern of wakefulness and sleep is a circadi...

Can your job affect your personality?
2007-08-19 15:47:00
Most people's self-esteem is closely tied to their work. When people meet for the first time, the first questions almost involve jobs, and the answers tend to spark interest or deaden it. Many of us tend to stereotype people by the kind of work they do. Considering that a job takes about half of a working adult's waking life, it is not surprising that psychologists see work as a significant influence on a person's outlook and behaviour.One 10-year study found that people who have to think and use their judgment to perform complicated tasks at work tend to develop and intellectual flexibility that they carry over into the other parts of their lives. They seem to be generally more independent-minded and open to new experiences than those who perform more routine jobs. They also tend to select intellectually engaging activities for their leisure pursuits, such as learning a language or investigating the history of their area.

Deer hunting may put men's hearts at risk
2007-08-18 05:25:00
Deer hunting could be a dangerous endeavor for men with heart disease or risk factors for it, research findings suggest.In a study of 25 middle-aged male deer hunters, researchers found that the activities inherent to hunting -- like walking over rough terrain, shooting an animal and dragging its carcass -- sent the men's heart rates up significantly.In some cases, this led to potentially dangerous heart-rhythm disturbances, or diminished oxygen supply to the heart.Of the 25 hunters, 17 had established coronary heart disease, while the rest had risk factors such as being overweight, smoking or having high blood pressure or cholesterol.The findings suggest that for men like these, hunting could boost the risk of heart attack or cardiac arrest.Susan Haapaniemi and colleagues at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oaks, Michigan, report the findings in the American Journal of Cardiology.For the study, the researchers outfitted each man with a portable monitor that continuously recorded...

Instilling a fear in a baby in the name of science
2007-08-17 06:14:00
Pioneer behaviorist John B. Watson believed that most fears are learned. To prove it, he deliberately set out in 1920 to condition an 11-month-old baby named Albert to fear white lab rats. Like most babies, little Albert was fearless and curious about the world. Watson, however, found that sudden loud noises caused Albert distress.In a highly unethical experiment, Watson and a colleague used the sound of a hammer striking a steel bar to startle Albert whenever they presented him with a white lab rat. The moment Albert tried to touch the fury white animal, the bar was struck, scaring Albert. The more this grim experiment was repeated, the more afraid Albert became. Soon just the mere sight of a white rat caused him to cry. Worse, Albert's fear had generalized to other furry objects; seeing a fur coat, a dog, a rabbit, even a Santa Claus mask made Albert burst into tears.Dr. Watson knew a month in advance that baby Albert would be leaving the hospital, but never attempted to remove h...

Doesn't everybody get depressed sometimes?
2007-08-16 05:08:00
The word depression is used for a wide range of mental states. On one side are passing moods of disappointment, regret, or anxiety that almost everybody has at one time or another. For many of us, Sunday evenings are depressing in this sense, because the weekend is over and the responsibilities, pressures, and uncertainties of the week lie ahead.On the other side is so-called clinical depression, a harrowing week-after-week emotional despair that is a major health disorder. Although there is a huge gap between an occasional case of Sunday blues and a deep clinical depression, the difference is not in the kinds of moods but in their intensity and duration.Doctors make a diagnosis of clinical depression when a person suffers most or all of a group of symptoms for longer than two weeks. These include despair, bouts of uncontrollable weeping, lethargy, self-hatred, exhaustion, hypochondria, and, in extreme cases, delusions and hallucinations. A paralysis of will can make the clinically ...

The changing face of beauty
2007-08-14 05:26:00
Shades of white, black, orange, yellow and red were only a few of the 17 colours prehistoric peoples mixed to paint their bodies (and their cave walls). Their intent was not mere ornamentation. A decorated body was believed to give protection from the forces of evil.From around 4000 BC the Egyptians wore cosmetics as a defence against eye diseases and the blazing sun. Kohl, a black paste made from lead sulphide, soot, burnt almonds or ground ants' eggs, was applied around the eyes and to the lashes and brows.In the 14th century BC the Egyptian queen Nefertiti painted her nails red with henna, but it was the ancient Chinese who created nail polish from gum arabic, egg white, beeswax and gelatine. A lipstick from a Babylonian tomb dating to about 4000 BC is the oldest cosmetic found in the Middle East. It may have belonged to a man.The Greeks were less approving of cosmetics, a term that comes from their word kosmetikos, 'skilled in arranging'. But it was the Greek physician Galen ...

Liquid Engineering
2007-08-06 04:10:00
In the human world, hydraulic-fluid power offers competition to both electrical and mechanical power. Fluids are used in vehicle braking and transmission systems, in mass-production units, and even structurally, as in large rockets, whose thin skins are given more 'body' by internal fluid pressure.But, as so often, Nature got there first. The structural role of fluids can be seen in a cut flower, which droops if left without water. This is because its stem is composed of highly flexible cellulose fibres stressed by the internal pressure of sap. When this dries out, the pressure lessens and the flower wilts. The same effect can be seen on the foliage of trees after prolonged drought.

Toad migrations cause rural traffic hazards
2007-08-05 04:02:00
In some parts of Britain during March and early April, special signs warn motorists that they may encounter multitudes of common toads crossing the roads.The toads are on their way to breed in the ponds where they were spawned. Each spring they leave their hibernation places in the surrounding countryside and follow the same migration routes across fields, through hedgerows and sometimes over busy roads. Most of the toads return at night when poor visibility puts them at risk. Enthusiastic volunteers turn out to gather them in buckets and carry them safely across the roads.Even when they are not spurred by the desire to breed, toads show powerful homing instincts. One female is known to have returned every spring for 36 years to the same spot under some steps leading into an English garden. Some toads have been captured, tagged for identification and released far from home, only to make their way back with remarkable speed.

A bitter truth of female foeticide
2007-08-03 04:52:00
Parents are choosing to abort female foetuses in such large numbers that experts estimate India has lost 10 million girls in the past 20 years.A hundred yards from a school playing field on the edge of Nayagarh, a small town in eastern India, is an innocuous damp circular patch covered with what appears to be sticks and stones.A closer look reveals that the debris is shards of tiny skulls and bones, all that remains of more than 40 female foetuses - aborted because of their sex and then dumped in a disused well.The secret tragedy of being conceived female in India burst into the open this week with the grim discovery of the well, dug on land earmarked for a private hospital - the Krishna clinic owned by an obstetrician, Nabakirshora Sahu, and his wife, Savitha. The latter is in custody but the medic is on the run.Last Thursday Santish Mishra, a health official, was poking at the top of the hole, from which had been exhumed 132 bags of putrefying human remains.

How to land a spacecraft on an asteroid
2007-08-01 14:59:00
NASA is exploring the possibility of sending astronauts to an asteroid, with hopes of making deep-space exploration more feasible.The DigitalSpace Commons, a Santa Cruz, Calif.-based company that develops an open-source 3D rendering system, has come up with the design for a new NASA spacecraft and a mission that could eventually allow humans to land on and explore an asteroid, or so-called near-Earth objects (NEO). The privately held company plans to unveil the design publicly Monday.The project dovetails with NASA's Constellation Program, a plan to send astronauts back to the moon by 2020. Along with the lunar mission, the space agency is investigating the possibility of using its future crew navigation vehicle for missions to an asteroid, which could help scientists better understand the minor planets or assist in eventually getting humans to Mars. Over the last six months, NASA studied how it might modify its own lunar vehicle for trips to NEOs and found that it was feasible, ac...

Not all oils are created equal
2007-08-01 14:38:00
When it comes to oils in packaged foods, everyone seems to have the same question: what does it all mean?Be they hydrogenated, modified, palm, or something of the sort, oils are complicated. They're also in a lot of baked and packaged goods."I have been trying to find out information from food labels that state they have modified vegetable oil or modified palm oil and it seems somewhat confusing," It's not just you, reader."Fats are confusing, in general," says Andrea Holwegner, a registered dietitian and president of Calgary-based Health Stand Nutrition Consulting.That's because now that trans fats are public enemy No. 1, food makers are coming up with a slew of less nasty fats to replace them."Consumers are becoming more concerned about trans fats because they elevate bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol. They're bad for your heart," Holwegner says. "What manufacturers have been doing is taking trans fats out of their products, but they're replacing them with fractionat...

Why weather in space affects your cell phone
2007-08-01 14:14:00
Your car's navigation system and your cell phone stop working. Your flight to Hong Kong has to detour to Anchorage to refuel. In the Gulf of Mexico, hundreds of oil drilling operations stop work. And highway construction is delayed - again - because the workers can't pour concrete.Blame it all on the weather -- in space.Scientists and industry officials say fluctuations in space weather due to solar flares and radiation storms can cause wide-ranging problems that affect Global Positioning System devices everywhere. While the everyday GPS user will likely experience only a minor inconvenience, industries that rely on precise positioning can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, or more.It's all a bit technical, but when the sun flares, it sends out a magnetic disturbance that reaches and distorts Earth's magnetic field, said Ernie Hildner of Boulder, who retired in 2005 after nearly 20 years as director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Enviro...

Builders in water
2007-08-01 04:58:00
Out of the rough, raw materials of the planet Earth mankind has fashioned mighty cities, towering pyramids, exquisite tapestries, translucent porcelains and ships of hardened steel. But predating the advent of humans, there were animal builders whose works were mightier and certainly more cost-effective.Take, for example, those of the tiny sea creatures known as Foraminifera, which extract minerals from water and turn them into protective casings for themselves. They multiply by division, breaking up into many small parts that quit the original shell and then begin to make new coverings of their own. A pinch of beach sand might contain 50 000 abandoned shells, but over the ages the animals who made them have created limestone rocks and contributed not a little to the fabric of cities.Other persistent builders in limestone are the coral polyps of tropical seas. Growing in colonies of uncountable billions, they create delicate abstract statuary, rainbow-hued underwater gardens of wavi...

Do hair dyes cause cancer?
2007-07-31 05:24:00
The problem with hair products : Some hair products aren't all they're cracked up to be. Consider the following:1. Shampoos contain 70 to 80 percent water, plus detergent, perfume, and conditioning oils. Harsh ingredients include formaldehyde, propylene glycol, and quaternarium 15. "Oily," "dry," or "normal" classifications depend on how much detergent and conditioning oils a shampoo contains. A "gentle" shampoo may be a regular shampoo with extra water. Detergents may dry out the hair and skin and irritate the eyes. But the chance of getting cancer from a lifetime of shampoo use is extremely remote.2. Dandruff shampoos may keep your scalp from peeling, but they can also contain such irritants as coal tar, selenium sulfide, resorcinol, and cresol; if you are sensitive to them, they may even make dandruff worse. If a shampoo causes itching or burning, switch to another. To prevent the scalp becoming resistant to a dandruff shampoo's active ingredient, users should alternate betwee...

Study: Rural Students Strong in Science
2007-07-29 03:37:00
Rural students perform better in science than their urban counterparts, and rural teachers are generally happy with their schools, a federal study says. While many education reports examine urban issues, this Education Department study provides a snapshot of what's happening in rural schools. In all, about a third of U.S. public schools are located in rural areas. Generally, areas with fewer than 500 people per square mile are considered rural by the Census Bureau. When it comes to achievement, the report released Wednesday finds science is a strong subject for rural students. That could be because kids get their education in real-world settings as well as classrooms, says Marty Strange, policy director of the Rural School and Community Trust, an advocacy group. "Rural life is a little closer to nature," he said. The report found: 1. At all grade levels, rural students did better on national science tests than children in cities and performed about the same as suburban students. 2....

Cat Predicts Patients' Deaths
2007-07-27 05:00:00
Oscar, a hospice cat at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, R.I., predicts patient's deaths. Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live. "He doesn't make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die," said Dr. David Dosa in an interview. He describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine."Many family members take some solace from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one," said Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University. The 2-year-old feline was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia unit at the Steer...

Female insects that need no males
2007-07-26 05:40:00
No rose grower need be told about the phenomenal rate of aphid reproduction. It may however surprise them that this is largely accomplished without male aphid intervention.During the summer months, without benefit of mating, female aphids produce vast quantities of unfertilised eggs. These develop within the mother, who each day gives birth to 20-odd exact replicas of herself, each with their own eggs already maturing inside them. And each of these is the mother of a further generation of females.In this way aphid populations expand rapidly. There are no males to take up food and space, and the females need not spend time mating. Every aphid reproduces and only cold weather, a predator such as a ladybird or a food short-age - or an insecticide - can stop them. Within days, the descendants of a single aphid can smother a rose bush.In autumn, the pattern changes, and both male and female offspring are produced. This generation mates, laying fertilised eggs that spend the winter in cre...

What is the most unusual kind of hallucination?
2007-07-24 04:29:00
Fatigue, among other things, can cause one of the rarest and most fascinating hallucinations known: that of the doppelganger. A person who has this experience sees his mirror image, usually facing him from three or four feet away. It reproduces the viewer's facial expressions, posture, and movements as though reflected in a mirror. The image is said to be transparent, like a slide or movie projected on glass. In some cultures these hallucinations have been interpreted as visitations from the person's soul or as premonitions of death.This hallucination, which usually occurs early in the morning or late at night and lasts only a matter of seconds, can appear to normal minds under stress or fatigue. However, it is more common among people with serious disorders such as epilepsy, brain lesions, migraine headaches, and states of delirium.In particularly bizarre cases, the person may see the double standing in an adjacent room. Others have reported seeing this kind of apparition standin...

Amber Necklace as an aid to sooth your teething baby
2007-07-22 03:26:00
Many believe that the use of amber to sooth a baby's teething pain is something new but amber necklaces have been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years in some European and Asian countries. In fact, in Austria, Switzerland and Germany, amber teething necklaces are often sold in local pharmacies. So how does amber sooth teething pains and does it work?Most treatments of teething pain call for the application of gels, taking of tablets or chewing on biscuits. All of these methods, including homeopathic teething remedies have to be applied time and again. However amber claims to avoid all this: you just give your child an amber teething necklace and the symptoms of teething are reduced - and sometimes avoided altogether.Your baby may look cute wearing an amber teething necklace, but how do they work?First off, amber is made for wearing, not chewing. Also, it is a resin, not a stone so it is warm to the touch. It has been known as a natural analgesic, helping to fight inflammat...

Why is failure good for creativity?
2007-07-21 05:35:00
You learn from your failures, said Charles Kettering, the engineer who invented the automobile self-starter and who, at his death, had developed more major inventions than any other American except Thomas Edison. He used to point out : "From the time a kid starts kindergarten to the time he graduates from college, he will be examined three or four times a year, and if he flunks once, he's out. Now an inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. An inventor treats his failures like practice shots."The founder of IBM, Thomas J. Watson, gave the same kind of advice, "The way to succeed is to double your failure rate." Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling said that the trick in coming up with good ideas is to think up a great many ideas and just get rid of the bad ones.

Skulls that prove we all came from Africa
2007-07-20 04:35:00
The human population arose from a single migration out of Africa 55,000 years ago, which replaced all other humans in Europe and Asia, a study shows.Scientists have confirmed the "out-of-Africa" model of human origins with a study that combines genetic evidence with physical data from more than 6,000 skulls around the world.The twin approach has delivered what may turn out to be the killer blow to the rival theory that humans evolved in several regions of the world, said Andrea Manica of the University of Cambridge, who led the study, published in the journal Nature."We are convinced of the out-of-Africa hypothesis because the way we did this study gives us an edge we didn't have before," Dr Manica said. "We looked at the genetics and we looked at the skulls and I cannot see what other arguments you can come up with to explain what we have observed."Studies of DNA and the physical differences between skulls show that human variation diminishes the greater the distance from Africa. ...

Do women have a better sense of smell than men?
2007-07-18 12:31:00
Women are more sensitive than men to a number of smells. The female hormone estrogen may account for this sensory difference. As estrogen levels rise and fall during a monthly cycle, her sensitivity to odors rises and falls.Women are most sensitive to smell during ovulation, when estrogen levels are highest, and less sensitive during menstruation, when estrogen is lower. The estrogen levels of pregnant women drop drastically. It is estimated that a woman is 2,000 times more sensitive to smell before her pregnancy than during it.The "pickles-and-ice cream" syndrome, in which pregnant women eat unusual combinations of food, is thought to be due at least partly to a culled sense of smell during pregnancy. Hence pregnant women can tolerates that they found unappetizing before becoming pregnant.

Cellphones and lightning don't mix

If it starts to thunder on the soccer field, don't call home on your cellphone to say the game has been cancelled.Three doctors warn in this week's British Medical Journal that using cellphones during stormy weather could be fatal.In a letter to be published Saturday, Dr. Swinda Esprit of Northwick Park Hospital in Middlesex, U.K. and colleagues describe the case of a 15-year-old girl who last year was struck by lightning while using her cellphone in a London park."The girl has no recollection of events because she had an asystolic cardiac arrest," they report.The teen was resuscitated, but one year later is in a wheelchair with "complex physical, cognitive and emotional problems", including muscle contractures and weakness. She also has a permanently perforated eardrum and hearing loss on the side she was holding the cellphone.The researchers found three more cases reported in newspapers in China, Korea and Malaysia since 1999.
