<title>Singing, being male, and being an adult tend to produce more respiratory aerosols, study finds</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/97/20673/Singing-being-male-and-being-an-adult-tend-to-produce-more-respiratory-aerosols-study-finds.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A new study measured respiratory particles produced from people singing or playing instruments. Is singing worse than talking when it comes to how many particles are being emitted? Yes, according to the study. And the louder one talks or sings, the worse the emissions. A person's age and whether they are male or female also affects their respiratory emissions, with males and adults emitting more airborne particles, on average, than females and minors.]]></description>

<title>Researchers train computers to predict the next designer drugs</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/97/20670/Researchers-train-computers-to-predict-the-next-designer-drugs.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Researchers have trained computers to predict the next designer drugs before they are even on the market, technology that could save lives. Identifying these so-called 'legal highs' within seized pills or powders can take months, during which time thousands of people may have already used a new designer drug. But new research is already helping law enforcement agencies around the world to cut identification time down from months to days, crucial in the race to identify and regulate new versions of dangerous psychoactive drugs.]]></description>

<title>Mangrove restoration has ecological and economic benefits</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/97/20669/Mangrove-restoration-has-ecological-and-economic-benefits.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Funding to restore mangrove forests is money well spent, according to a new meta-analysis by ecological economists. For every dollar spent to restore mangroves, the ecosystem will yield $6.83 to $10.50 in returns over the next 20 years. The range reflects different economic projections of how much immediate costs are worth compared to future benefits and reflects the significant ecological benefits that degraded habitats receive from mangrove restoration.]]></description>

<title>Researchers find repeated link between volcanic eruptions and dynastic collapse in China's Imperial Era</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/97/20656/Researchers-find-repeated-link-between-volcanic-eruptions-and-dynastic-collapse-in-Chinas-Imperial-Era.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Volcanic eruptions may have triggered abrupt climate changes contributing to the repeated collapse of Chinese dynasties over the past 2,000 years, according to new research. The study also illustrates how volcanic eruptions can profoundly impact vulnerable or unstable regions and highlights the need to prepare for future eruptions.]]></description>
