Virtual treasure hunt shows brain maps time sequence of memories
We have little difficulty in remembering the chronology of events. We can tell how much time passed between two events and which one occurred first. Apparently, memories of events in the brain are linked when they occur close together. Using an experiment that combines learning in virtual reality and brain scans, researchers describe how a…
Blood pressure recording over 24 hours is the best predictor of heart and vascular disease
High blood pressure is the most important treatable risk factor for diseases of the heart and the arterial system. Blood pressure recorded over 24 hours predicts these complications more accurately than blood pressure measured on a single occasion. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Kids might be naturally immunized after C. difficile colonization in infancy
Exposure to C. difficile in infancy produces an immune response that might protect against this gastrointestinal infection later in childhood, according to a new study. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Knowing berry pests’ varied diets may help control them
A new study investigates for the first time what spotted-wing drosophila adults and larvae eat, and where they lay their eggs, when these short-lived fruits are not in season. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Tariffs lead to creative supply chains
Where there’s a will to peddle soybeans in the global marketplace, there’s a way. Scholars apply a new, more holistic way to examine global agricultural trade to better understand what’s going on when a country as enormous as China develops a big appetite for soybeans.

A hog in wolf’s clothing
Most research on human-wildlife conflict has focused on the ways tigers, wolves, and other predators impact livestock even though noncarnivores also threaten livestock. New research examines the effects of these less-studied relationships, particularly for feral hogs and elephants, and the potential consequences of excluding these animals from research focused on mitigating wildlife impacts on livestock.…
Industrial fishing behind plummeting shark numbers
A team of researchers has discovered that sharks are much rarer in habitats nearer large human populations and fish markets. The team also found that the average body size of sharks and other marine predators fell dramatically in these areas, where sharks are caught and killed intensively for their meat and fins.

How the Pacific Ocean influences long-term drought in the Southwestern US
Analyzing the full life cycle of long-term droughts and how they relate to El Niño and La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean could eventually lead to better prediction of damaging, multiyear droughts in the Southwestern US.

How can robots land like birds?
Birds can perch on a wide variety of surfaces, thick or thin, rough or slick. But can they find stable footing if a branch is covered in Teflon? In the interest of making better robots, researchers found out. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Robotic cane shown to improve stability in walking
By adding electronics and computation technology to a simple cane that has been around since ancient times, researchers have transformed it into a 21st century robotic device that can provide light-touch assistance in walking to the aged and others with impaired mobility. The autonomous robot ‘walks’ alongside a person to provide light-touch support, much as…
