Volunteers living near four major European airports with night flights - in Athens, Milan, Stockholm and London - took part in the study published this week in the European Heart Journal. Study participants were outfitted with ambulatory blood pressure monitors, which were programmed to take readings at 15-min. intervals throughout the night. The volunteers' bedrooms were also equipped with an MP3 recorder and a noise-meter, which recorded all ambient noise, its timing and its volume. Researchers considered a "noise event" to have occurred if any sound, from road traffic, aircraft or a partner's snoring, exceeded 35 decibels...

Its global footprint has also shifted, according to a paper published last month in the journal PLoS Medicine. In the 1970s, most plague cases were in Asia; today, more than 90% are in Africa. The conundrum for epidemiologists: Why is human plague reappearing now, even though nearby animal populations have likely harbored the culprit Yersinia pestis bacteria all along...
...recent paper published in the biology journal Proteomics, which invoked ideas of creationism with little supporting evidence for the claim, has caused controversy within the scientific community.

Tuesday Magazine, along with the Gamut, an annual poetry journal, distinguishes itself with an effort at diversity...
...It’s catered to people with good ideas: we edit works to create publishable pieces.” Its annual issue hovers around 30-40 pages, which means The Gamut can similarly afford to publish a wide variety of poetry. Co-editor of the journal Liza D. Flum ’10 refers to her publication as less a competitor and more a supplement to the existing opportunities for publication. “There are a lot of really good poets who simply can’t get published in the Advocate because they have a limited number...
