BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, December 17 /PRNewswire/ --

A new report from Rider Research, publisher of The Online Reporter, predicts that the market for entertainment content on mobile media devices such as Apple's iPhones and iPods will exceed that of content delivered over broadband to the home.

The potential size of the market for entertainment videos and music on multimedia mobile phones and other portable devices is staggering. Several billion consumers worldwide are predicted within a few years to be carrying in their pocket or purse a handheld device that is capable of wirelessly receiving and playing video and audio entertainment.

Adult humans possess some mathematical abilities that are unmatched by any other member of the animal kingdom but there is increasing evidence that the ability to count sets of objects nonverbally is a capacity that humans share with other animal species.

In PLoS Biology, Elizabeth Brannon and Jessica Cantlon discuss how humans and nonhuman animals share a capacity for nonverbal arithmetic. The researchers tested monkeys and college students on a nonverbal arithmetic task in which they had to add the numerical values of two sets of dots together and choose a stimulus from two options that reflected the arithmetic sum of the two sets.


Monkeys perform addition like humans.

MIT scientists have found a way to induce cells to form parallel tube-like structures that could one day serve as tiny engineered blood vessels.

The researchers found that they can control the cells' development by growing them on a surface with nano-scale patterning. A paper on the work was posted in Advanced Materials.

Engineered blood vessels could one day be transplanted into tissues such as the kidneys, liver, heart or any other organs that require large amounts of vascular tissue, which moves nutrients, gases and waste to and from cells.

"We are very excited about this work,” said Robert Langer, MIT Institute Professor and an author of the paper.
