Proton therapy, an external beam radiotherapy in which protons deliver precision radiation doses to a tumor and therefore help spare healthy organs and tissues, is a cost-effective alternative to standard photon radiation therapy in treating medulloblastomas, fast-growing brain tumors that mainly affect children.

If we want to think about how to deal with the effects of climate change, archaeologists suggest Aboriginal Australians are a good place to start.

Hyperlink films, which use cinematic devices such as flashbacks, scenes out of chronological order, split screens and voiceovers to create an interacting network of storylines and characters across space and time, mirror contemporary globalized communities, it is said.

However, films in this genre like "Memento", "Love Actually" and "Crash" are not as new and innovative as believed - they still conform to conventional cinematic and social patterns, say scholars after an examination of twelve hyperlink films, ten female interest conventional films and examples from the real world and classical fiction.  

Once size does not fit all but broad federal regulations, such as strict requirements on the use of animal manures in fresh produce production, that have been imposed by the new federal food-safety law threaten to adversely impact the mushroom industry, which relies on horse and poultry manure for a specialized growth substrate.

A recently published paper strongly suggests men succumb to sexual temptations more than women — for example, cheating on a partner or stealing a girl from another guy — because they experience strong sexual impulses, not because they have weak self-control. At least when it comes to those of college age.

Previous papers have said that men are more likely than women to pursue romantic partners that are "off limits" but there has been no real theoretical explanation for this sex difference.

Chaotic terrains are enigmatic features stretching up to hundreds of kilometres across Mars. The mechanism by which they formed is hypothesis and even speculation in most cases.

A recent paper, which combines observations from satellite photos of the 280 kilometere wide and four kilometer deep crater plus models of the ice melting process and resulting catastrophic outflow, says that Aram Chaos, the lumpy, bumpy floor of an ancient impact crater on Mars, formed as a result of catastrophic melting and outflow of a buried ice lake.
