Facebook Can Actually Boost Older Adults’ Well-Being What older adults actually do on Facebook may be more important to their user experience and well-being than their overall use of the site, according to researchers.   A new study shows older adults experience different levels of competence, relatedness, and autonomy on Facebook based on the types of their activity. Specifically, older adults who posted more pictures to Facebook felt more competent, which led to significantly higher levels...

Machine learning model may guide treatment decisions for lung cancer patients Doctors and healthcare workers may one day use a machine learning model, called deep learning, to guide their treatment decisions for lung cancer patients, according to a team of Penn State Great Valley researchers. In a study, the researchers report that they developed a deep learning model that, in certain conditions, was more than 71% accurate in predicting survival expectancy of lung cancer patients, significantly...

Scientists identify flank instability at a volcano with history of collapse Landslides caused by the collapse of unstable volcanoes are one of the major dangers of volcanic eruptions. A method to detect long-term movements of these mountains using satellite images could help identify previously overlooked instability at some volcanoes, according to Penn State scientists. “Whenever there is a large volcanic eruption, there is a chance that if a flank of the volcano is unstable there could be a...

Unusual DNA folding increases the rates of mutations DNA sequences that can fold into shapes other than the classic double helix tend to have higher mutation rates than other regions in the human genome. New research by a team of Penn State scientists shows that the elevated mutation rate in these sequences plays a major role in determining regional variation in mutation rates across the genome.  Deciphering the patterns and causes of regional variation in mutation rates is important both for ...

Certain Facebook activities linked to feelings of competence, relatedness and autonomy Researchers report that while overall Facebook use may be linked to poor well-being in older adults, specific activities on the social media site — such as uploading pictures — may lead to better outcomes, including improved sense of well-being.
