Side effects are a major reason that drugs are taken off the market and a major reason why patients stop taking their medications, but scientists are now reporting the development of a new way to predict those adverse reactions ahead of time. The report on the method, which could save patients...
Hey guys, I want to start shipping cooking oil (in liter bottles) from Italy to China. What would be the cheapest method to do this? I was thinking by sea freight.. but it would take much longer.. anyone know the costs and time of shipping by air vs sea?
thanks!
Hi,
I live about 1 mile away from where I work and currently drive there. However, instead of wasting petrol on a journey which could easily be done using something else, I would like to try another method of going to work.
I live in a top floor flat so a bicycle is out of the question (as...
A technique called digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR), used to measure bone density, can also identify people with a higher risk of hip fracture. Researchers suggest that DXR, similar to other more expensive methods, could potentially be used to identify people at risk for osteoporosis, a...
Islam says that God created life and we know that its not true. Islam also teaches that there is life beyond death and we dont have even a scrap of proof to believe that .
So islam is wrong and a load of nonsense . I come from an islamic family from sri lanka (Ahamedi) and my family rejected...

Scientists have adopted a novel laboratory approach for determining the effect of genetic variation on the efficiency of the biological process that translates a gene's DNA sequence into a protein, such as hemoglobin, according to a presentation at the American Society of Human Genetics 2012...
Coaxing a humble skin cell to become a jack-of-all-trades pluripotent stem cell is feat so remarkable it was honored earlier this month with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Stem cell pioneer Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD, showed that using a virus to add just four genes to the skin cell...
There are various types of toothpaste available on the market. They come as pastes and gels, there are some that guard against tooth decay or protect teeth from acid attack, others that are designed for sensitive teeth. But which toothpastes clean well? Which preserve the tooth enamel? A new...
Coating a bone graft with an inorganic compound found in bones and teeth may significantly increase the likelihood of a successful implant, according to Penn State researchers. Natural bone grafts need to be sterilized and processed with chemicals and radiation before implantation into the body...
As well as accidentally deleted a photograph on you guessed it-your camera, computer, USB drive, or anywhere else? What we may well not know is that one could usually restore those pictures—even from the digital camera’s memory stick.

Researchers have been working on this for a very long time and now they have finally achieved it: scientists at North Carolina State University have successfully remotely controlled cockroaches. Watch the video. It's both disgusting and impressive, but it could save your life one day. More »
Pulmonary nodules are common, but few studies of lung nodule identification and clinical evaluation have been performed in community settings. Researchers from Kaiser Permanente Southern California identified 7,112 patients who had one or more nodules by using existing information within the...
Like many new measurement tools, the laser frequency comb seemed at first a curiosity but has found more practical uses than originally imagined. The technique for making extraordinarily precise measurements of frequency has now moved beyond physics and optics to advance biomedicine by helping...
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have developed a powerful visual analytical approach to explore genetic data, enabling scientists to identify novel patterns of information that could be crucial to human health. The method, which combines three different "bipartite...
While vaccines are perhaps medicine's most important success story, there is always room for improvement. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) appear to have done just that. As explained in a newly published research paper, Mark...
A recent discovery of "hypervirulent" Salmonella bacteria has given UC Santa Barbara researchers Michael Mahan and Douglas Heithoff a means to potentially prevent food poisoning outbreaks from these particularly powerful strains. Their findings, in a paper titled "Intraspecies Variation in the...
Three-dimensional clusters of pancreatic beta-cells that live much longer and secrete more insulin than single cells grown in the laboratory are valuable new tools for studying pancreatic diseases such as diabetes and for testing novel therapies. This cutting-edge advance is described in an...
How does one defend oneself from the socratic method while arguing. It seems pretty effective.
Take for one instance this video

What is a general way of arguing against the socratic method?
It's fatter than a traditional DVD (contains 4 DVDs). I have a small box from Amazon but I dont know the rules and I might be overpaying if I use that. I want to minimize cost.
