| Ocean microplastic pollution may be greater than estimated Posted: 25 Jan 2022 06:30 AM PST The great diversity of scientific techniques and methods used in the study of marine microplastics pollution limits the current knowledge of this serious environmental problem threatening our ecosystems. |
| Studying the Big Bang with artificial intelligence Posted: 25 Jan 2022 06:30 AM PST Artificial intelligence is being used for many extremely complex tasks. So why not use machine learning to study particle physics? As it turns out, this is not easy, because of some special mathematical properties of particle physics. But now, a neural network has been developed that can be used to study quark gluon plasma - the state of the universe after the Big Bang. |
| Study identifies new way to attack herpesviruses Posted: 25 Jan 2022 06:30 AM PST A new study has opened the door to a new approach to attacking herpesviruses. The study demonstrated that targeting 2 metal ion-dependent enzymes of human herpesviruses with 2 compounds, AK-157 and AK-166, can inhibit the replication of the virus. The finding provides new opportunities to developing agents against herpesviruses. |
| Study detects how a genetic variant modifies the brain stimulation impact on memory Posted: 25 Jan 2022 06:30 AM PST The gene of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is associated with several processes related to memory and brain plasticity. Now, a new article reveals that it is easier to alter the cognitive activity through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in people with the genetic variant Val/Val for the BDNF gene. |
| New technique boosts efficiency, sustainability of large-scale perovskite solar cells Posted: 25 Jan 2022 06:30 AM PST An international team of researchers has demonstrated a technique for producing perovskite photovoltaic materials on an industrial scale, which will reduce the cost and improve the performance of mass-produced perovskite solar cells. |
| Lucky genes can help protect people with obesity from some disease Posted: 24 Jan 2022 04:49 PM PST Geneticists have revealed why some people with obesity remain relatively healthy, whilst others suffer from life-changing ailments such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. |
| Seeing the same GP improves treatment for people with dementia Posted: 24 Jan 2022 04:49 PM PST New research analyzed more than 9,000 patient records of people diagnosed with dementia. The team found that people with dementia who were consistently seen by the same GP over the course of one year were given fewer medicines and were less likely to be given medicines that can cause problems like incontinence, drowsiness and falls. |
| Undiagnosed autistic traits common among youths with substance use disorders, study finds Posted: 24 Jan 2022 12:10 PM PST An estimated 20 percent of teens and young adults who seek treatment for addiction may have previously unrecognized social impairment characteristics of an autism spectrum disorder, a new study finds. |
| Women ages 35 and younger are 44% more likely to have an ischemic stroke than male peers Posted: 24 Jan 2022 12:10 PM PST Women ages 35 years and younger were 44% more likely to have an ischemic stroke (caused by blockages of blood vessels in the brain) than their male counterparts, according to a new review of more than a dozen international studies on sex differences in stroke occurrence. This gap narrows between the ages of 35 and 45, and there is conflicting evidence about whether women or men have more ischemic stroke in the 35- to 45-year-old age group. |
| A spouse's education can positively impact their partner's overall health Posted: 24 Jan 2022 08:50 AM PST A new study found that spousal education is positively related to people's overall health, with an effect size that rivals the impact of a person's own education. |
| Calf personality, feeding, and growth: When one style doesn’t fit all Posted: 24 Jan 2022 08:50 AM PST In a natural setting, cows and nursing calves together set the feeding schedule for the calf, and calves wean gradually, completing weaning at varying ages. By contrast, in artificial rearing systems with minimal cow-calf contact, the weaning schedule may be strictly determined, with reductions of milk intake based solely on the calf's age. But how well do different calves thrive under different feeding and weaning systems? |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2022 07:39 AM PST Synchronizing one's brainwaves to ultrasound pulses could reduce the accumulation of abnormal proteins characteristic of the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, new research suggests. |
| Green backyards help increase urban climate resilience: Here is how Posted: 24 Jan 2022 07:39 AM PST Taking into account a variety of trees and green structures in four otherwise similar residential courtyards, a new study evaluates their effects on thermal comfort, biodiversity, carbon storage and social interaction. The authors show that those courtyards with more green structures yield considerably better results than those with fewer, and in their cooling capacity have a significant impact on people's thermal comfort. |
