Engineering researchers have demonstrated that a longstanding theoretical method called direct antenna modulation (DAM) has real-world utility for boosting the quality of radio signals when transmitting at high data rates. The finding has applications in fields such as military communications.

Healthy diet helps older men maintain physical function
A person's ability to maintain independence and to physically care for themselves is an essential part of healthy aging. But few studies have examined how a person's diet may allow some aging people to maintain physical function—basic everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, carrying groceries or walking up a flight of stairs—while others' abilities diminish. A new study by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital examines the role of a healthy diet and finds that this highly modifiable factor can have a large influence on maintaining physical function, lowering the likelihood of developing physical impairment by approximately 25 percent. The team's findings are published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging.

Study provides insight into use of critical care resources
A study by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators has found wide variation in the use of different hospital units—intensive care or general medical units—to deliver a type of advanced respiratory support called non-invasive ventilation. The team's report published in Critical Care Medicine found no differences in length of stay or in-hospital deaths among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receiving this treatment that were associated with whether they were treated on a general medical unit or an intensive care unit (ICU).

Patient shielding provides negligible benefits while increasing risks
A new study published in the April 2019 issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) makes the case for why it is time to abandon the practice of patient shielding in radiology.

GPS has its own 19-year cicada problem
Most people of a certain age remember the Y2K problem that worried digitalists worldwide when we transitioned from 1999 to 2000 on the night of Dec. 31, 1999. What would happen to computers and systems when the last two digits on the date went from 99 to 00?

A tiny cry for help from inside the liver could lead to better treatment
On a normal day, the cells of a human liver do what they do best—making key blood proteins, clearing toxins from the blood and sending their remains down the digestive tract in a never-ending stream of bile.

'Electron shuttle' protein plays key role in plant cell-wall construction
Scientists studying plant cell walls—structural supports that help plants overcome the downward pull of gravity—have discovered mechanistic details of a protein involved in the assembly of lignin, a key cell-wall component. The protein acts as a targeted "electron shuttle," delivering the "fuel" that drives the construction of one specific type of lignin building block.

High rate of sex before age 13 among boys from metropolitan areas
Using information from two national surveys, researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Guttmacher Institute have found that in some metropolitan areas, more than a quarter of young, African American men reported having sexual intercourse before age 13, and for about 45 percent of them, the sex was either unwanted or experienced with "mixed feelings."

Tax incentives target poor neighborhoods but leave communities behind
Lawmakers often tout pro-gentrification tax incentives such as the new federal "opportunity zone" tax incentive—the tax break offered to developers in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017—as tools to promote capital investment in poor neighborhoods.

A global motion-planning approach based on local experiences
While humans can execute motions naturally and instantaneously, robots require advanced motion planning strategies in order to navigate their surroundings. Motion planning is thus a key area of robotics research, aimed at developing tools and techniques that allow robots to operate autonomously in a variety of environments.

Selecting the best features for phishing attack detection algorithms
In recent decades, phishing attacks have become increasingly common. These attacks allow attackers to obtain sensitive user data, such as passwords, usernames, credit card details, etc., by tricking people into disclosing personal information. The most common type of phishing attack is email scams in which users are led to believe that they need to give their details to an established or trusted entity, while they are, in fact, sharing this data with someone else.

Melting glaciers causing sea levels to rise at ever greater rates
Melting ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic as well as ice melt from glaciers all over the world are causing sea levels to rise. Glaciers alone have lost more than 9 trillion tons of ice since 1961, raising water levels by 27 millimeters, an international research team under the lead of the University of Zurich has now found.
