For the new study, the scientists first had cat owners repeatedly say four words that were similar to their cats’ names, until the cats habituated to those words. Next the owners said the actual names, and the researchers looked at whether individual cats (when living among other cats) appeared able to distinguish their monikers. “This new study clearly shows that many cats react to their own names when spoken by their owners,” says biologist John Bradshaw, who studies human-animal interactions at the University of Bristol’s Anthrozoology Institute and was not involved in the new study.

This chamber of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the rest of the body, using a rather strenuous twisting and unspooling motion, as if the ventricle were a sponge being wrung out before springing back into shape. Exercise, especially aerobic exercise, requires that considerable oxygen be delivered to working muscles, placing high demands on the left ventricle. A 2015 study found, for instance, that competitive rowers, whose sport combines endurance and power, had greater muscle mass in their left ventricles than runners, making their hearts strong but potentially less nimble during the twisting that pumps blood to muscles.

These practices stand in sharp contrast to those of legitimate scientific journals, where editors send papers to experts for review, a process that can take weeks or months, and often ask for extensive revisions. On Wednesday, James DuBois, director of the Center for Clinical Research Ethics at Washington University in St. Louis, forwarded to The Times an email he had just received. “It is learnt that you have published a paper titled ‘The Role of Culture and Acculturation in Researchers’ Perceptions of Rules in Science’ in SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ETHICS and we are impressed by the subject,” the email said.

There are a few theories floating around the internet, but by far the most popular one is this: Ant-Man, who has the power to get really small whenever he wants, will jump into Thanos’ butthole and expand back to normal size, destroying the supervillain. So in Endgame, he says, Thanos’ rectum is the container and Ant-Man’s body is the water. Working under Cranford’s calculations, Thanos’ rectal tolerance is “about 15,000 atmospheres, about two thirds of the bulk modulus of water,” Klotz says.

Having noted that, however, some of the oldest diseases we have direct skeletal evidence for are found on dinosaur species dating to around 250 million years ago, when Pangaea was still a continent and no human ancestors yet roamed the land. “Some of the oldest diseases we have direct skeletal evidence for are found on dinosaur species dating to around 250 million years ago… They include many dinosaurs found with neoplastic tumors, and a dinosaur with tuberculosis-like infectious lesions on the ribs.” Associate Professor, Anthropology, University of South Carolina, who studies health and disease in past human populations using their skeletal remains
The answer to this question depends on what you mean by “disease” and what organism (at risk of disease) you are interested in.

The Curiosity mission initially cast more doubt on the methane claims, as it detected very little of the gas, about 0.7 parts per billion. The Mars Express findings also point to a possible source of the methane, about 300 miles east of Gale. The Curiosity scientists thought the methane originated within Gale, to the north of the rover.

Which means the human feces — along with bags of urine, food waste, vomit, and other waste in the bags, which also might contain microbial life — on the moon represents a natural, though unintended, experiment. After Neil Armstrong descended from the Eagle lander, becoming the first human to set foot on the moon, the very first picture he took on the surface shows, yes, the moon’s cratered surface, but also a white jettisoned trash bag (or jett bag). The case that the poop bacteria are dead

The question scientists are asking of whether anything is alive in those jett bags, while seemingly silly, may lead to important insights about the extreme conditions life can endure.

Twenty years of retreat ranked Jakobshavn as one of Earth’s ticking timebombs for climate change, as its ice melt could contribute to catastrophic global sea level rise. Jakobshavn, which is Greenland’s largest glacier and covers roughly 110,000 square kilometers, had been retreating 1.8 miles and thinning 130 feet per year as of 2012, NBC News reported. Greenland’s ice sheet is the world’s largest contributor to sea level rise, losing 270 billion tons of ice each year, primarily due to climate change.

If the gel makes it to market, it will become the first hormonal contraceptive for men—more than a half-century after the first birth control pill was approved for women. Now the researchers just need to study how it works with Medrano and the other couples in the wild, hoping to prove that hormonal male birth control finally deserves to move out of the lab and into men’s lives. Now a professor at the University of Washington, Page oversees three studies of new contraceptive methods for men: a hormonal pill, which suppresses sperm production with a compound called DMU; an injection, modeled after the Depo-Provera shot for women; and the NES/T gel, which uses a type of progestin called nesterone in concert with testosterone.
