The farmers were taught to detect notes of blackberry, the consequences of improperly processing beans, and how coffee is graded...
Women whose breast cancer is found by mammogram may have a 53% better survival rate than those whose cancer is discovered another way, says a study at Houston's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Reason: mammograms can better detect slower-growing tumors...
...says biologists. It's easy to imagine how a random mutation might have produced a path of light-sensitive cells that helped a primitive creature tell day from night. You can also imagine how another mutation might have bent this patch of cells into a concave shape that could detect the direction a light or shadow was coming from-helping creatures with the mutation stay clear of predators. Simple structures that enable an organism to do one thing-follow the light-can easily get co-opted for a different and more complex function, like sight. The fact that there...
...team of astronomers, including Latham, used the telescope to observe, for the first time, a wobble in a star’s movement indicative of an orbiting planet. Although other telescopes were pointed at the same stars at the same time, Oak Ridge was the first telescope to detect a wobble...
Three of the bombers lived in Leeds, an industrial city in northern England, and had grown up conventionally. All four were Muslims described by associates as amiable and law abiding but whose lives had taken a turn toward radical Islam that their loved ones did not detect. And contrary to the early assumption that the bombers had hidden explosives in their rucksacks and left them to explode or were unwitting mules for bombs their bosses had secretly armed, the weight of evidence suggests the attackers deliberately immolated themselves in the first-ever suicide bombings on British soil...
