The Causes of Arctic Winter Warming East Asian Subtropical Cold Damage

IMELTING ICE ON THE ISLANDS OF SEVERNAYA ZEMLYA (BARENTS AND LAPTEV SEA REGION).CREDIT: GABRIELA SCHAEPMAN-STRUB, ARCTIC CENTURY EXPEDITION, 2021 The temps in the Arctic are rising as a result of climate change. According to an international study conducted by UZH experts, Arctic warming causes temperature anomalies and cold damage millions of km distant in East...

Global Elimination of Animal Farming Could Save the Planet

The elimination of all animal agriculture in the following 15 years would severely diminish greenhouse gas emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Research into the climatological impacts of raising animals for food implicates that eliminating all animal agriculture has the potentially to considerably change the direction of global warming. The project is a cooperation...

Genome Study Finds Unexpected Variation in a Fundamental RNA Gene

A genome study carried out by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists to search for variants in a gene thought about an essential building block for microscopic structures that manufacture proteins took a shocking twist. Human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are essential for constructing ribosomes or mechanisms that translate proteins. The study findings, to be...

The Negative Aspect of Machine Learning in Healthcare

Assistant Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi analyzes how disguised biases in medical data can jeopardize artificial intelligence approaches. While completing her dissertation in computer science at MIT, Marzyeh Ghassemi wrote numerous papers on how machine learning strategies from artificial intelligence could be applied to medical data to anticipate patient outcomes. "It was not till the end of...

Australian Politicians Need to Stop Meddling with Basic Research

In nations like Denmark and Germany, gifts are given on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas morning. Furthermore, on Christmas Eve 2021, 587 groups of researchers at universities around Australia got a festive present from the Australian Research Council (ARC), in the form of information that their 2022 Discovery Projects were to be financed. More brutally,...

Hungry Yeast Cells Are Microscopic Living Thermometers

This fluorescence microscopy image shows yeast vacuoles that have undergone phase separation. Credit: Luther Davis/Alexey Merz/University of Washington Membranes are essential to our cells. Every cell in your body is encased by one. And each of those cells contains specialized chambers, or organelles, which are similarly confined by membranes. Membranes assist cells in accomplishing tasks like...

DETI Brain Mapping Technique Reveals Neural Code of Vision Handling With Time

DETI mapping results from the brain of a person viewing one of the stimuli used in the experiment (far left). The central column shows a flattened topographical map of the electrodes over the back of the head, illustrating the variation of DETI maps at each electrode across that scalp region. On the right-hand side,...

Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Linked With Raised Risk of Carditis (Heart Inflammation)

Considerably increased risk in teenagers after the second dosage may call for sophisticated vaccination strategies. A case-control research study found an elevated relative risk of carditis associated with BNT162b2 (also known...
