...film’s derivative script, the special effects are simply suburb. The title sequence of the film is a dazzling sequence of mythological imagery that makes the cost of watching the film in 3D justified (though the rest of film is probably just as good in 2D). The kraken and the giant scorpions were also fun to watch and the computer graphics were seamless interwoven with the actors’ interactions. Medusa stands out as a particularly stunning and realistic computer-generated character. Her movements and incredibly seamless facial expressions completely...
...have gotten very good at treating virtual 3D patients and rendering them 2D in a sense as a lot of the activity in hospitals centers around computers,” adds Verghese, who coined the term “iPatient” to describe this trend...
...hormone much later in life. The greater the exposure as a fetus, in other words, the higher the levels of confidence, vigilance or risk appetite triggered by testosterone in an adult. That observation has already made digit ratio a useful indicator of ability in fields other than finance; 2D:4D has been found to predict success in sports such as soccer, basketball and skiing, for instance. (Read TIME's top 10 sports moments...
...overly surprising. In a separate Cambridge study last April, traders with high morning testosterone levels recorded higher profits for the rest of that day than they did on days when their circulating testosterone level was low. Building on those findings, the newer study suggests that the lower those traders' 2D:4D ratios, the bigger their swing in profits between the high- and low-testosterone days...
...make better traders than women? Not exactly. Though it helped determine the male subjects' returns, the 2D:4D ratio accounts for only 20% of the difference in profit levels observed in the study, according to John Coates, a Wall Street trader turned Cambridge scientist and the study's lead author. "Which means there's 80% left unexplained. It's like height in tennis. It appears to give you some sort of advantage, but there's probably a dozen other things giving you an advantage, and if you were to focus just on [height], you'd be missing all sorts...
