Part I: Speaker

Nose knows what the mind tells it

They say that the nose knows. But it still gets its marching orders from the brain—at least when it comes to the lungs. Got that? Nose to brain to lungs. Because a new study shows that when people with asthma think they’re smelling something noxious, their airways become inflamed—even when the odor is harmless. The finding is in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research. [Cristina Jaén and Pamela Dalton, Asthma and odors: The role of risk perception in asthma exacerbation]

Asthma attacks can be triggered by pollen, dust, harsh chemicals or scents. These environmental annoyances constrict the airways in the lung, making breathing difficult.

In this study, researchers wanted to see whether an individual’s assumptions have any influence over this breathtaking series of events. So they exposed 17 asthma sufferers to a benign chemical that smells like roses for 15 minutes. Nine subjects were told the fragrance was a potential irritant, the other eight that it would be therapeutic.

The results were as plain as the nose on your face: subjects who expected an irritant experienced inflammation. And those who were primed to be soothed had no adverse reactions—even if they were normally bothered by perfumes.

The results suggest that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Or be as irritating as you expect it will.

The induce earthquake is not as serious as nature earthquake but it just ten miles away epicenter and induce shake also can make serious result
H think induce has a awful influence should be care by people. And based on his obervision conclude that induce is low than nature .the reason is maybe fluid lubricate the earth and do also think h conclude is right,the community based is powerful.

Drilling cause quakes but less than natural earthquakes. However, quake in the center of the drill is tremendously strong. Within 10 kilometer, which is the center of the drill, people should move out.
Time 3 02:07
By using the stress drop, seismologist will know the quake is natural or induced. People should be involve the process of reporting quakes. Moreover, the induced quake is less than natural one.
Time 4 02:01
The proportion of more white people get more funds than black people from NIS. The researchers will concentrate why people didn’t get funds and how to do about it.
Time 5 0138

The doctor transplant human-cancel-cells to mice body in order to test mice first before they actually put any medicine to humans. However, the mice is lack of immune system. The doctor also wants to plant mini organs with human DNA, but the samples are still mice, which is different than human body. Addition, the process is slow. Some patients are already passed away, when the doctors finish the testing on mice.
