Kendall, a longtime resident of Middle Tennessee, has been through this before, and his words likely ring true for anyone who has lived through one of the periodic invasions of the red-eyed, noisemaking insects.
Melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer that accounts for 75% of all skin-cancer-related deaths, is often detected later in people with darker skin complexions — and the consequences can be devastating, a Mayo Clinic study reveals.
Ochoa received the honor for her contributions to space exploration and inspiring future generations.
Reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADM) are critical components in flexible optical networks for the dynamic channel reassignment. A university and industrial collaborative effort in China has led to the development of a compact, integrated optical switch matrix for the ROADM applications that is both low-loss and polarization-independent. Besides optical networks, the newly developed switch matrix platform will open new possibilities in other applications such as quantum processing and photonic neural networks.
Recently, exciting new paper unveils the potential of biosurfactants—natural compounds produced by microbes—to dramatically improve the preservation of meat products. This innovative approach could replace synthetic chemicals, enhancing food safety and quality.
A recent study out of Michigan State University found large gaps between people’s career interests and U.S. job demands. These gaps indicate that the interest demands of the U.S. labor market differ drastically from the supply of interested people, revealing how many people have unfulfilled interests at work.
To better understand the mechanisms driving chronic childhood kidney disease, researchers from the GOFARR Laboratory for Organ Regenerative Research and Cell Therapeutics in Urology at The Saban Research Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles led a pilot study examining the process of kidney cell deterioration on a molecular level using digital spatial profiling.
KINGSTON, R.I. — May 10, 2024 — Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can impact many common childhood milestones and cognitive processes, such as decision-making, inhibitory control, language development, and goal-setting. Studies by University of Rhode Island kinesiology Assistant Professor Nicole Logan have shown that physical activity can be beneficial for the development of such cognitive processes, particularly in children who may have room to improve in those areas.
Members of the Department of Urology at Hackensack Meridian Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC), as well as residents and fellows, and students from the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine (HMSOM), were involved in 20 presentations at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) held in San Antonio from May 3-6, 2024.
For decades, the 40-hour workweek has been the standard practice for many workers in the United States. Millions of Americans arrive at work by 8 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m., if not later into the evening. In March, a bill was introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours per week to 32 hours per week. While the bill is only in the introduction phase and far from being passed, it nevertheless has sparked conversation. Angela Hall is an associate professor in Michigan State University’s School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, and Chu-Hsiang “Daisy” Chang is a professor of organizational psychology in the Department of Psychology in the College of Social Science. Together, they answer questions about the potential effects of a reduced workweek, including labor history and potential implications.
