| Plain packaging effective in reducing misperceptions of tobacco products among Australian Indigenous Posted: 29 Dec 2015 05:42 PM PST Following the introduction of plain packaging on tobacco products in 2012, Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were 12 percent less likely to think certain tobacco brands were less harmful than others, a new study found. |
| Reptile fossils offer clues about elevation history of Andes Mountains Posted: 29 Dec 2015 05:41 PM PST Tortoise and turtle fossils, the first from the Miocene epoch found in Bolivia, suggest the Altiplano, near Quebrada Honda, was likely less than a kilometer above sea level 13 million years ago. Fossils of leaves and other animals support the suggestion. |
| Thermal microscopy of single cells Posted: 29 Dec 2015 05:41 PM PST Researchers wondered whether it might be possible to tap into active thermography camera technology -- behind night-vision equipment and the thermal imaging of buildings -- to create a sort of thermal microscope to produce heat maps of single cells to help them understand the thermal behavior of the cells or go a step even further by detecting diseased conditions at the sub-cell scale. Their work is outlined in a new article. |
