Being scared to death boils down to our autonomic response to a strong emotion, such as fear. For fear-induced deaths, the demise starts with our fight-or-flight response, which is the body’s physical response to a perceived threat. This response is characterized by an increased heart rate, anxiety, perspiration, and increased blood glucose levels.

1) The resulting degradation of public spaces into congested, vehicle-dominated, and polluted places often becomes a liability, exacerbating various city problems.
 
2) In contrast, the cities that invest in the creation of connected, inclusive public spaces and places buck this trend and fare much better.
 
3) Despite this significance, the potential of public-space assets to transform cities and improve urban life is often overlooked.
 
4) They leverage public-space assets to create value for the surrounding area, supporting livelihoods and promoting local businesses.
 
5) Globally, about one-third of a city's land area is covered by public spaces.

1) The connection of the amino acid leucine to drug resistance raises hopes that a relatively simple intervention, like a shift to a low-leucine diet, can reduce the incidence of drug resistance, which is responsible for a large portion of the roughly 40,000 breast cancer deaths every year.
 
2) Drug resistance is the leading cause of death in women with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer, the most common form of the disease.

3) The work also raises the possibility that a drug could be developed to mirror the effects of that dietary restriction, by blocking cells' ability to take in leucine from the surrounding environment.
 
4) Now, researchers have identified an ordinary dietary element that may increase the chances of a breast cancer becoming drug-resistant.

1) They also show different responses to speech in an unfamiliar language.
 
2) The research team said these findings supported other studies that suggest animals may share some human skills.
 
3) Researchers revealed the brains of our canine companions can tell the difference between speech and non-speech when listening to human voices.
 
4) Dogs may appear to have selective hearing when it comes to commands, but research suggests they are paying attention to human chit-chat.
