Phys.org / Australian farmers are battling another potential mouse plague—what is causing it?
Got a mouse in your house? That thought alone may terrify you. Now imagine if mice were scampering through your house, rummaging in your pantry or even running across your face at night.
Phys.org / Bonuses can lower self-set goals and reduce performance, experiment suggests
Financial bonuses are often used to motivate employees to meet targets and boost productivity. But do they actually work? New research from Tilburg University suggests these incentives can sometimes have the opposite effect. ...
Phys.org / More shearwaters are washing up dead on Australian beaches. It's not due to 'natural' causes
You might know the short-tailed shearwater and sable shearwater by the common name "muttonbirds." These two species of seabird breed on islands off southeastern Australia. Both undertake a breathtaking two-week, non-stop ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning predicts asthma risk in children with early-life atopic dermatitis
Machine learning models can predict the risk for developing moderate-to-severe persistent asthma and allergic rhinitis in children diagnosed with early-life atopic dermatitis, according to a study published online April 17 ...
Medical Xpress / Global survey reveals significant burden and inconsistent management of rare metabolic bone disorder in adults
A new international survey led by the International Osteoporosis Foundation reveals that adults living with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (HO), a rare metabolic bone disorder, face a substantial and often under-recognized ...
Medical Xpress / Cognitive impairment linked to worse outcomes in chronic kidney disease
For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cognitive impairment (CI) is associated with worse outcomes, according to a study published in the May issue of Kidney International Reports.
Medical Xpress / Postmenopausal white women with genetic risk regain weight two times faster
In a new study of women in post-menopause, white women with higher genetic risk of obesity regained weight about two times faster than white women whose genetic risk was lower. Black women in the study regained weight at ...
Medical Xpress / Behavioral therapy + transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation best for overactive bladder
For older women, behavioral therapy (BT) reduces overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, with greater improvements seen in combination with transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), according to a study published online ...
Medical Xpress / Next-generation KRAS G12C inhibitor elisrasib elicited promising response rates in patients with advanced lung cancer
Treatment with the investigational next-generation KRAS-G12C inhibitor elisrasib led to clinical benefit in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors harbored a KRAS G12C ...
Phys.org / Could the mathematical 'shape' of the universe solve the cosmological constant problem?
The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding problems in modern physics.
Dialog / Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely believed to consist of dark matter and dark energy. Paradoxically, however, the nature of these dark ...
Phys.org / Classical physics can explain quantum weirdness, study shows
When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that same ball down to the size ...
