This article is about the possibility of the bloodstream generating enough energy to electrically charge Ipods, Cell phones, and other personal items. I think that this technology could be amazing in the use of everyday life. Everybody could charge their own PDAs, or cell phones just by walking around, even a small breeze would be enough to generate enough power. This could be used in the military, for soldiers that are out in the middle of nowhere or someone who is deep undercover. They could always have fully powered personal affects.
wiam: In this article is about why girls are little interrested in science and math. New research by a team that includes vocational psychologists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) indicates that the self-confidence instilled by parents and teachers is more important for young girls learning math and science than their initial interest.
While interest is certainly a factor in getting older girls to study and pursue a career in these disciplines, more attention should be given to building confidence in their abilities early in their education, says UWM Distinguished Professor Nadya Fouad. She is one of the authors of a three-year study aimed at identifying supports and barriers that steer girls toward or away from science and math during their education. Many young students, particularly girls, see math and science as difficult, and don't take any more classes than they have to, not realizing they are cutting themselves off from lucrative opportunities in college and careers.Now I can get why i hate science so much and why it is very boring for me especially in mr. Mills class .hahah (just kidding) =)
http://www.livescience.com/health/090403-chocolate-mind.html This article describes how eating chocolate helps your brain work more quickly, especially with math. The theory was tested on a group of people and all of them were able to work with numbers more easily when dosed with large portions of chocolate. This is super important, because it's like killing two birds with one stone. You get your math homework done more easily, and you get to eat chocolate. Huzzah. What a super win-win situation.
MALAK B! A new study shows that nicotine is not only addictive but has an impact on many other activities and interactions of the body. 55 proteins were found to interact with the alpha-7 nicotinic receptors, so called because nicotine 'binds' to them. Therefore, nicotine is now believed to affect body processes more than was previously thought. This research is important because it can lead to the development of new treatments for smoking addiction. Not only is it important in the pharmaceutical field, but it could also be useful for further studies on nicotine and also help spread awareness.
