...Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced Chick-Sent-Me-High-ee) isn't the only social scientist working on this subject. Positive psychology has been exploding in popularity. Systematic measurement of well-being is challenging because its definition is elusive. But researchers at Princeton University have been developing a new technique for collecting data about what activities make people feel good - and what they find bothersome. Many academics employ an older system that Csikszentmihalyi helped develop called the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). Subjects are beeped (via a pager or hand-held device) at random intervals during the day, usually every few hours, at which...
Even if researchers master the mechanics of sequestration, they must still develop a way to separate CO2 from power-plant exhaust so that there will be something to stash in the cavities in the first place. There are two promising methods. One is to gasify coal before it's burned, reducing it to a high-pressure synthetic gas that can be stripped of its carbon, leaving mostly hydrogen behind. The alternative is to pulverize coal as power-plant operators do now but then rely on new hardware to separate the CO2 after burning. Both methods are at least 20 years...
...legislation does not, however, mention a second committee called for in the February report that would “develop an initiative in activity-based learning.” It is unclear why the legislation makes no note of the activity-based learning initiative, and the professors who wrote the legislation could not be reached late yesterday...
...that young people diagnosed as schizophrenic in high school are less likely to come to Harvard. “If anything, Harvard should have less rather than more cases of schizophrenia,” he said. The researchers said that it is still unclear how the gene affects the development of schizophrenia. “The next step is to replicate this discovery in another study. If we get the same results, then we’ll hone down to see what the gene is doing biologically,” Malhotra said. Lencz said that the team?...
Stern eventually did meet with the jihadists, having already worked with the review board to develop a system in which she doesn’t learn the real names of the people she interviews...
