02-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck says that people's self-theories about intelligence have a profound influence on their motivation to learn. People who have a "fixed" theory are mainly concerned with how smart they are -- they prefer tasks they can already do well and avoid ones on which they may make mistakes and not look smart. In contrast, people who believe in a "growth" theory of intelligence want to challenge themselves to increase their abilities, even if they fail at first.

- New biologic treatment for tennis elbow may replace surgery for chronic sufferers
10-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
"Tennis elbow" isn't restricted to tennis players; it's a common, chronic problem for people whose activities require strong gripping or repetitive wrist motions. A novel biologic treatment of injecting the patient's own platelets into the affected tendon proves successful and gives patients another treatment option before undergoing surgery. The procedure has wide application for healing of other medical conditions, say researchers from Stanford University.

- Ancient coral reef tells the history of Kenya's soil erosion

But oceanic corals also provide a faithful account of how people make use of land through history, says Stanford University scientist Robert B. Dunbar. In a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters, Dunbar and his colleagues used coral samples from the Indian Ocean to create a 300-year record of soil erosion in Kenya.

It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. The U of A research team has invented a self-powered wireless microsensor for monitoring the bone healing process after surgery -- it is so tiny it can fit onto the tip of a pen.
