The following will be presented about std and std types, to know the types std and how its spread can also help you to take preventive steps.

Submission + - Can Science ever be "Settled"?

StartsWithABang writes: From physics to biology, from health and medicine to environmental and climate science, you'll frequently hear claims that the science is settled. Meanwhile, those who disagree with the conclusions will clamor that science can never be "settled," and then the name-calling from "alarmist" to "denier" ensues. But can science legitimately ever be considered settled, and if so, what does that mean? We consider gravitation, evolution, the Big Bang, germ theory and global warming in an effort to find out.

Submission + - The doctor shortage in North America – just how bad is it? (theallegiant.com)

smithwatson05 writes: If you have ever been in an emergency department with a non-life threatening condition, or have ever been on a waitlist for routine surgery, you are likely acutely aware of the fact that there is a shortage of doctors in North America. Just how serious the problem is though, you might not realize.

Submission + - First Look at the Animals of the New Hebrides Trench

An anonymous reader writes: Scientists have released pictures of the animals they've found in the New Hebrides Trench, more than 7,000m down. 'The team used an unmanned lander fitted with cameras to film the deep-sea creatures. The scientists said the ecology of this trench differed with other regions of the deep that had been studied. "We're starting to find out that what happens at one trench doesn't necessarily represent what happens in all the trenches," said Dr Alan Jamieson, from Oceanlab at the University of Aberdeen, UK, who carried out the expedition with the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in New Zealand.'

Submission + - A Billion More Years of Earth

Nefarious Wheel writes: I've been following our Martian rovers raptly, as evidence mounts for water, the effects of water, and the possibility that life existed on Mars perhaps a billion years ago.

Which all leads to the question — If a similar rover were to visit the Earth a billion years from now, would it be able to detect that life ever existed here?

Submission + - Ants Build Rafts on the Backs of Their Young (sciencemag.org)

sciencehabit writes: There's no security in being a young ant. A new study reveals that, when their home floods, Formica selysi ants build a raft with their bodies to save the queen--and they put the youngest ants on the bottom. Flotation tests showed that this is actually a great strategy for survival: The bottom of the raft is not a dangerous place for them after all, the team reports today in PLOS ONE. Young ants that were part of a raft survived and later matured at the same rate as young that stayed on dry land. Further experiments showed that the young are more buoyant than adults, which makes them able to support the raft like pontoons on a boat.

Submission + - Eggs terminate! Egg-free flu vaccines provide faster pandemic response (medium.com)

eggboard writes: Jen A. Miller has an egg allergy of a variety that her doctor has told her could produce a severe reaction if she were vaccinated for the flu, as flu vaccines are grown from viral strains incubated in chicken eggs. But, she explains, two new approaches have been approved by the FDA and are in production that don't use eggs at all; they're on the market in small amounts already, but will be available in much larger quantities soon. It's not just about egg allergies: the new vaccine types (one relying in insect proteins and the other on animal proteins) provide a much faster turnaround time in response to flu pandemics — as little as two to three months from isolation of a strain to mass production instead of at least six months with eggs.

Submission + - Crazy New 360-Degree Video Capture Method Is Awesome

cartechboy writes: We've all watched live sports coverage, like Formula 1 racing or NASCAR. We've seen the in-car video feed, and even the rear-view feed. But that's only giving us half the picture. Now Mercedes-Benz has devised a crazy new 360-degree video capture method that allows you to follow live-action video from just about any angle you choose. This new piece of tech will launch with the Mercedes AMG F1 team this year, and gives you the ability to swivel and tilt the camera angle in pretty much any direction as the car speeds around the track. The device uses wide-angle cameras arranged in a ball and then stitched together into a panoramic view. Of course there's an iOS app that lets you watch all this. Is this device about to change live feeds forever?

Submission + - Paralyzed Woman Walks Again With 3D-Printed Robotic Exoskeleton (gizmag.com)

Zothecula writes: 3D Systems, in collaboration with Ekso Bionics, has created a 3D-printed robotic exoskeleton that has restored the ability to walk in a woman paralyzed from the waist down. The Ekso-Suit was trialled and demonstrated by Amanda Boxtel, who was told by her doctor that she'd never walk again after a skiing accident in 1992.

Submission + - New Domain Names for Photographers (lensvid.com) 2

Iddo Genuth writes: Photographers rejoice — the ICANN (which regulates domain names) recently introduced a whole host of new domains (including .photography, .camera, .graphics and more). In a time where a good .com domain is harder to find than cheap real estate in Manhattan, these new domains represent an interesting option for photographers who want to use their own name for their website (JamesSmith.photography seems really cool — try finding this with a .com).

Prices are a bit higher than .com domains (check out the link below) but its still far less expensive than trying to buy a .com domain from an existing owner (if he is willing to sell at all).
