It doesn't take much for soldiers to feel cared for Posted: 14 Feb 2019 02:42 PM PST Caring texts sent to active-duty military had important findings in reducing suicide. |
Giving keener 'electric eyesight' to autonomous vehicles Posted: 14 Feb 2019 12:32 PM PST Autonomous vehicles relying on light-based image sensors often struggle to see through blinding conditions, such as fog. But researchers have developed a sub-terahertz-radiation receiving system that could help steer driverless cars when traditional methods fail. |
New tool for documenting injuries may provide better evidence for elder abuse cases Posted: 14 Feb 2019 12:30 PM PST Scientists have developed the first standardized framework for clinicians to document physical findings on older patients for better evidence in abuse cases. |
Effective self-control strategies involve much more than willpower Posted: 14 Feb 2019 12:30 PM PST It's mid-February, around the time that most people waver in their commitment to the resolutions they've made for the new year. Many of these resolutions require us to forego a behavior we want to engage in for the one we think we should engage in. In a new report, leading researchers in behavioral science propose a new framework that outlines different types of self-control strategies and emphasizes that self-control entails more than sheer willpower to be effective. |
