- Flame retardants used in foam upholstered furniture and other products linked to neurodevelopmental delays in children
- Mathematical counseling for all who wonder why their relationship is like a sinus wave
- Women eager to negotiate salaries, when given the opportunity
| Posted: 15 Nov 2012 10:31 AM PST A new study adds to the health concerns over flame retardants widely used in foam upholstered furniture. Researchers have found that children exposed to PBDEs in the womb and in early childhood had deficits in attention, cognition and fine motor skills at ages five and seven. |
| Mathematical counseling for all who wonder why their relationship is like a sinus wave Posted: 15 Nov 2012 10:28 AM PST Neuroinformaticians have provided a mathematical model for efficient communication in relationships. Love affair dynamics can look like a sinus wave: a smooth repetitive oscillation of highs and lows. For some couples these waves grow out of control, leading to breakup, while for others they smooth into a state of peace and quietness. The 'relationship-sinus' depends on the time partners take to form their emotional reactions towards each other, mathematicians show. |
| Women eager to negotiate salaries, when given the opportunity Posted: 15 Nov 2012 10:23 AM PST Although some scholars have suggested that the income gap between men and women is due to women's reluctance to negotiate salaries, a new study shows that given an invitation, women are just as willing as men to negotiate. Men, however, are more likely to ask for more money when there is no explicit statement in a job description that wages are negotiable. |
