  Why micro-expressions are unnecessarily emphasized these days?

  Is it simply to leverage curiosity of mass population or anything else? Can we really differentiate between subtle and micro-expressions? Many leading scientists, psychologists and behavior analystsIs it simply to leverage curiosity of mass population or anything else? Can we really differentiate between subtle and micro-expressions? Many leading scientists, psychologists and behavior analysts suggest us to emphasize on various behavior clues other than just facial expressions.

They mention a savannah would be more resilient to stresses like droughts, so the forest would "probably" be replaced by such an ecosystem. This is the relevant chapter: http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg2/en/ch13s13-4.html#13-4-1 Concerning precipitation, models still disagree as to what could be the end result. Some suggest more rain, others suggest less. The intense droughts of the last decade may suggest the latter would be the case. A somewhat outdated paper (2006), but still interesting, is this: Marengo, Jose Antonio. On the Hydrological Cycle of the Amazon Basin: A historical review and current State-of-the-art. Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia. 2006 http://www.rbmet.org.br/port/revista/revista_artigo.php?id_artigo=202 It suggests an El Niño-like condition made permanent, with stronger equatorial winds bringing rain from the Amazon basin to be poured down South, at the La Plata basin.

• Latifa Berrezouga in Clinical Research

  Hello how do you explain the effect of the placebo ? is there a psychological explanation ?

  In placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trials, the placebo could have an effect on studied patients (10%, 15% or even more), even if the tested drug is the molecule of concern. Thank you

    The effect of placebo could be due to its bioactive constituents. However, it is mainly psychotherapeutic.
