[monochrom] finding little albert
Dieser Artikel in der Oktober-Ausgabe des American Psychologist könnte für einige interessant sein: Beck, H.P., Levinson, S., Irons, G. (2009). _Finding little Albert: A journey to John B. Watson’s infant laboratory_. /American Psychologist/, 64, 605-614. http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/amp/64/7/605/ Grüße, ab. *Abstract: *In 1920, John Watson and Rosalie Rayner claimed to have conditioned a baby boy, Albert, to fear a laboratory rat. In subsequent tests, they reported that the child’s fear generalized to other furry objects. After the last testing session, Albert disappeared, creating one of the greatest mysteries in the history of psychology. This article summarizes the authors’ efforts to determine Albert’s identity and fate. Examinations of Watson’s personal correspondence, scientific production (books, journal articles, film), and public documents (national census data, state birth and death records) suggested that an employee at the Harriet Lane Home was Albert’s mother. Contact with the woman’s descendents led the authors to the individual they believe to be “Little Albert.” (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved)

[monochrom] Like humans, ants use bacteria to make their gardens grow
Leaf-cutter ants, which cultivate fungus for food, have many remarkable qualities. Here's a new one to add to the list: the ant farmers, like their human counterparts, depend on nitrogen-fixing bacteria to make their gardens grow. The finding, reported Nov. 20 in the journal Science, documents a previously unknown symbiosis between ants and bacteria and provides insight into how leaf-cutter ants have come to dominate the American tropics and subtropics. What's more, the work, conducted by a team led by University of Wisconsin-Madison bacteriologist Cameron Currie, identifies what is likely the primary source of terrestrial nitrogen in the tropics, a setting where nutrients are otherwise scarce. http://www.news.wisc.edu/17398Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2009/11/like-humans-ants-use-bacteria-to-make.htmmonochrom at 11/25/2009 01:14:00 PM
[monochrom] Monsanto: Biotech bonanza
Last year's global food crisis made millions for agro-giant Monsanto. Tim Hunt of Ethical Consumer magazine fails to find any redeeming features in this corporate behemoth. Try looking objectively at biotech firm Monsanto, a company that only ever seems to receive a negative press, and see if you can find any redeeming features any ray of light emanating from this seeming black hole of corporate misanthropy. You will struggle. Monsanto is the exemplar of all that is wrong with the world's corporate-controlled food system. Monsanto has a damning history. It worked on the atomic bomb in the 1940s and produced the chemical weapon Agent Orange during the Vietnam war. More recently its herbicides have been used to devastating effect against coca-producing peasant farmers in Colombia. But nightmarish weapons have never been the company's primary money-spinner. The big bucks come from industrialised agriculture. When it comes to food, never before has so much been controlled by so few a situation that is worsening as genetically modified (GM) crops and patents are pushed further into agriculture. http://www.redpepper.org.uk/Biotech-bonanzaLink -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2009/11/monsanto-biotech-bonanza.htmmonochrom at 11/25/2009 01:17:00 PM

John Cusack deserves his reputation as a likable actor. Back in 1985, you wanted him to get the girl more than most teen actors. But 2012 is so dumb you only want to cheer, Die Cusack, Die! Ditto Amanda Peet. And their children. You don't want this family to reunite, to make good on broken promises, or to carry the American flame forward into the reset future. You don't want them to do any of that. You just want them to do what they're supposed to do at the end of the world, and that is experience a brief moment of bone-chilled terror, then die like everyone else. http://killingthebuddha.com/mag/exegesis/long-count/Link -- Posted By johannes to http://www.monochrom.at/english/2009/11/die-cusack-die.htmmonochrom at 11/25/2009 01:10:00 PM -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
