Resveratrol (trans-resveratrol) is a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi.
Resveratrol is currently a topic of numerous animal and human studies into its effects. The effects of resveratrol on the lifespan of many model organisms remain controversial, with uncertain effects in fruit flies, nematode worms, and short-lived fish. In mouse and rat experiments, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering and other beneficial cardiovascular effects of resveratrol have been reported. Most of these results have yet to be replicated in humans.
In the only positive human trial, extremely high doses (3–5 g) of resveratrol in a proprietary formulation have been necessary to significantly lower blood sugar. Despite mainstream press alleging resveratrol's anti-aging effects, there exists no scientific evidence for the application of these claims to mammals.

Entre 2012 et 2013, les téléchargements d’applications mobiles vont atteindre leur sommet (7 milliards) et entamer une baisse dès 2013. C’est ce que pronostique une étude d’ABI Research. Fin 2015, ce chiffre devrait s’élever à environ 1,2 milliards. A titre de comparaison, le même cabinet avait estimé en avril dernier à 6 milliards le nombre de téléchargements d’applications mobiles en 2010. ne situation qui selon les experts d’ABI va obliger les entreprises à revoir leur stratégie, à s’interroger sur l’opportunité de développer une application mobile et à décider si elles le font en interne ou via un prestataire. L’étude note aussi que la promotion sera un facteur clé de réussite en rappelant que les applications sont en concurrence avec quelques 200 000 applications pour l’iPhone ou 50 000 pour Android. Pour cela, les premiers jours du lancement seront cruciaux.

One of the biggest dilemmas for print and mainstream media today is how to transition from a free-for-all model to one where its users actually pay for the content they consume. Should each site enact its own paywall, forcing users to purchase a subscription to just that site? How about a pay-per-article solution, which would still require a separate login for each publication?
