IF YOU can hear; you probably take sound for granted. Without thinking, we swing our attention in the
direction of a loud or unexpected sound – the honk of a car horn, say.

Because deaf people lack access to such potentially life-saving cues, a group of researchers from the
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon built a pair of glasses which
allows the wearer to “see” when a loud sound is made, and gives an indication of where it came from.

An array of seven microphones, mounted on the frame of the glasses, pinpoints the location of such
sounds and relays that directional information to the wearer through a set of LEDs embedded inside the
frame. The glasses will only flash alerts on sounds louder than a threshold level, which is defined by the
wearer.

No, we’re not issuing a fraud alert seeing as this is from a legit study that suggests coconut oil is capable of fighting tooth decay and could be used as mouthwash or toothpaste.

Scientists have discovered that when oil is treated with digestive enzymes, it is capable of harming bacteria in the mouth. Among all the types of oil used in the experiment, only the coconut oil has shown an impact in inhibiting the growth of bacteria strains. This might be because enzymes can breakdown fatty coconut oil into acids that consequently turn against bacteria. Previous research showed that partially digested milk can be used against microorganisms got the group interested in examining further effects of enzyme-modified foodstuffs.

http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2012/09/university-of-texas-panel-says-no-scientific-misconduct-anti-gay-parenting-study/ AUSTIN, Texas — A University of Texas advisory panel consisting of four senior faculty members has concluded that the author of an anti-gay parenting study had not published nor committed falsification of data, plagiarism or other ethical breaches constituting scientific misconduct. As a result, the panel found that no formal investigation of allegations against Mark Regnerus — an associate professor of sociology who had published the study back in June — is warranted. In his study, which has been widely denounced by LGBT advocacy groups, RRegnerus claimed “that the adult children of gay parents reported significantly different, and often worse, life experiences than the children of married, heterosexual biological parents.” Mark Regnerus “I think it’s a just and wise decision, and I’m certainly pleased with it,” Regnerus told the Austin American-Statesman, in an email. “It was a thorough and fair process, and conducted professionally.” A number of sociologists and gay marriage advocates objected to Regnerus’ findings, contending that they subverted a decade of research. The critics also questioned his methodology, the peer review process and the fact that the study was paid for by two conservative groups, the Witherspoon Institute and the Bradley Foundation.

This is a review of Broad and Wade’s Betrayers of the Truth. The author uses a subtitle which is revealing: the loyalist responds to heresy not by seeing that something might be wrong, that there may be some merit to this sort of reassessment, but by defending the ideology. Zinder has managed to misread Broad and Wade in several places. There is sufficient misrepresentation to mean that he read the book very selectively. “The authors continually confound science with scientists. And the book not only fails to enlighten us on science but doesn’t even begin to provide any insight on scientific method.” (p. 94) “Thirty four cases of fraud over a 2,000 year period are documented in the book, a number roughly comparable to the number of lawyers who went to jail for Watergate. Despite this small number, the authors imply that scientific fraud is common.
