Bonn - Deutsche Telekom reported increased third quarter profits on Thursday despite falling revenue.
Net profit in the third quarter increased by 600 million euros (760 million dollars) to 895 million euros compared to the same period last year, Germany's biggest telecommunications company said.
Adjusted for special factors net profit increased by 12 per cent to 1.18 billion euros.
Despite a 1.5 per cent decline in revenues to 15.4 billion euros, Deutsche Telekom chief executive Rene Obermann said the company had been "relatively resistant" to the global economic slowdown so far.
Washington, Nov 6: Men’s risk of developing diabetes can be calculated by factors like their genetic background and behaviour, according to a new study.
While scientists have learned a lot about human disease through research in traditional laboratory mice, there are limits in studying genetic variation since controlled breeding and diet introduces artificially influences.
In order to study diabetes risk in a more naturally genetically diverse animal, Roxanne Oriel, Paul Vrana and colleagues studied glucose tolerance, a test often used to diagnose diabetes and metabolic syndrome, in a type of field mouse native to North America.
Washington, Nov 6: A team of researchers have carried out the largest study of differences between human and chimpanzee genomes, identifying regions that have been duplicated or lost during evolution of the two lineages.
The study is the first to compare many human and chimpanzee genomes in the same fashion.
The team show that particular types of genes - such as those involved in the inflammatory response and in control of cell proliferation - are more commonly involved in gain or loss.
They also provide new evidence for a gene that has been associated with susceptibility to infection by HIV.
Tokyo - Toyota Motor Corp on Thursday sharply lowered its earnings projections for the current fiscal year because of a rising yen and slowing auto demand in the United States and Europe amid the global financial crisis.
Japan's leading automaker expected operating income of 600 billion yen (6 billion dollars) for the year that ends March 31, down 62.5 per cent from its initial projection in May.
The figure would also represent a fall of 73.6 per cent from the operating income earned the previous fiscal year.
London, Nov 6: People who have suffered severe brain injuries and who are unable to speak or move are being given the first chance to communicate using just the “power of thought”.
London, Nov 6: English musician Pete Doherty still seems to be angry with rock/pop singer Sir Elton John over their disastrous Live 8 performance in 2005, for he has blasted the latter for it.
Doherty got the blame for doing a disastrous rendition of T Rex’s ‘Children Of The Revolution’ while singing it with John in 2005, when he forgot the words and staggered on stage in smudged guy liner and a sailor jacket.
The Babyshambles member has hit back saying that it was John’s band that was responsible for the mess.
“What a bunch of f****** w******. What a bunch of sausage sucking, session, slaphead, ponytailed p*****, you know?” the Sun quoted him as saying.
