It's not an NIH study, but a Swedish one. Also, Biomed Res Int. has an impact factor of 2.4. For a biomedical journal that's rather low. The editors of The Lancet and the British Medical Journal must have thought that this study was as crappy as the journal it ended up in. And why didn't they use their conclusion as a title?
"RF radiation should be regarded as a human carcinogen causing glioma."
But used the inconclusive title
"Evaluation of Mobile Phone and Cordless Phone Use and Glioma Risk Using the Bradford Hill Viewpoints from 1965 on Association or Causation." instead?
Over the past 15 years, studies examining a potential relationship between RF transmitters and cancer have been published. These studies have not provided evidence that RF exposure from the transmitters increases the risk of cancer. Likewise, long-term animal studies have not established an increased risk of cancer from exposure to RF fields, even at levels that are much higher than produced by base stations and wireless networks.
I could not read the Elsevier (almost synonymous for low impact factor) article, since it's behind a paywall. So I could not see whether the authors had declared conflict of interest in the acknowledgements section of the paper, or by what money the study was funded.
However, I did find the following: Peter A.J. Achten works at INNAS BV, Breda, the Netherlands, a company that manufactures hydraulic systems for hybrids and fuel-efficient cars and free-piston diesel engines.
This has the potential to be an awesome lie detector. Not as clumsy and ineffective as a polygraph. I can see the beginning of a wonderful friendship between FB and the DoD.
you experience causality, but not the speed of light.
That's a contradiction in terminis. The speed of light is a misnomer. The c denoting the speed of light actually stands for causality. cis the speed of causality. There can, however, be a difference in the simultaneity for different observers, making it appear that events appear to happen in moments that are different for others, making it appear as if causality has been broken.
[...] at home, where already for significant time the image and audio quality is more pleasant than in most public theaters, not to mention the comfort of having control over volume, play/pause etc., and the absent mob of other people
Not to mention standing in line, dodging the trails of popcorn on the floor before the movie had even begun, the lengthy commercials, those blasted 3D glasses.
All perfectly good reasons for taking my kids with me and gratefully spend my money on this whole circus. Plotholes and other nitpickings about the movie taken aside, I wouldn't hesitate to go again.
So he's punishing scientists who have little or nothing to do with their nation's policies, regardless of whether those nations' policies are good or bad? Where is the logic in that? Luckily, scientists working in Syria are still allowed to use it. Also luckily, there are plenty of alternatives. http://phylogenetic.software.i...
We consider both dry-bulb temperature (T) and wet-bulb temperature (TW), specifically their daily maxima averaged over 6 h, denoted by Tmax and TWmax, respectively. Whereas the general public can easily relate to the concept of T, TW is not a widely used and understood concept. It is the temperature an air parcel would attain if cooled at constant pressure by evaporating water within it until saturation. It is a combined measure of temperature and humidity, or âmugginessâ(TM). Like all living species, human survival is partially a function of the environmental temperature. 35ÂC is the threshold value of TW beyond which any exposure for more than six hours would probably be intolerable even for the fittest of humans, resulting in hyperthermia. In current climate, TW rarely exceeds 31ÂC.
This interview with RT does a good job of illustrating many of John McAfee’s views: "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated." http://i.imgur.com/KuYENGO.png
For a guy who got rich from making security software for personal computers, this sure is one major campaigning fuck-up, if you pardon my French.
Given what I expect your age is, maybe you just haven't learned much yet.
Given that you don't know me at all, your expectancy of my age should be roughly between 18 and 65. Not really an age range within which one has little opportunity to learn much.
An utter climate denier, Freeman Dyson follows the footsteps of many Nobel Laureates gone bonkers, such as the illustrious Kary Mulis (invented PCR, denies HIV-AIDS causality), Francis Crick (discovered the DNA helix, denies HIV-AIDS causality, the hole in the ozone layer, AGW), Ivar Giaever (worked on superconductivity, denies AGW). Given their age, maybe they're getting senile?

A UFO can simply be a plane with a broken radio. So, yes, beyond reasonable doubt, UFOs are legit.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
I don't mind the unnecessary use of graphemes like umlauts and tildes, but I do find the use of the German sharp s very silly.

The harder a government tries, the faster a market for hard-to-crack devices will grow.
They should have used the Leonardo drone; it would have saved them four bucks.

I would LOVE to buy me a shiny new VR headset (and accompanying shiny new graphics card), but I have to pay off my debts for my shiny new 3D TV first.

But they can't.
Why? Because the Oracle has spoken.

They are building an intergalactic highway, and the star is simply in its way.
I, for one, welcome our new detrimental polystyrene-eating overlords.
