I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.

“#’Winter is coming’: The influence of seasonality on pathogen emergence” Figure A shows the variation in the birth rate (pathogen transmission rate, solid line) and death rate (recovery rate of infected hosts, dotted line) over time (the time unit is a day). The gray shading represents “winter” for the pathogen (in “winter” the birth rate…

“#Debate needed on the potential culling of crows and foxes to protect Europe’s declining ground-nesting birds” Further studies and debate are needed on the potential culling of generalist predators such as crows and foxes as a means of protecting Europe’s ever declining number of ground-nesting birds, a new study suggests. Researchers at University College Dublin…
“#China’s children left behind by climate change and urbanisation” A UNSW report considers China’s children affected by migration and climate change, and the necessary social policy reforms required to protect their rights. The expansion of protections for China’s migrant and ‘left-behind’ children is essential for the nation’s continued economic and social wellbeing, according to a…
“#UK’s Modern Slavery Act challenging for universities” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The UK’s universities are struggling to live up to the spirit and ambition of the Modern Slavery Act, hampered by poor oversight of their supply chains, a lack of skills and resource in supply chain management, a focus on reducing costs, and lackluster engagement…
“#Identification of distinct loci for de novo DNA methylation by DNMT3A and DNMT3B during mammalian development” Credit: The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo DNA methylation performs an essential function in mammalian ontogeny. It is also known that abnormalities in this process cause the development of cancers such as leukemia. A research team…
“#Working on the frontier of nanoparticle research” Illustration of the University of Pittsburgh’s CANELa lab’s nanocluster modeling that was featured on the cover of the journal Dalton Transactions. Image reproduced with permission of Mpourmpakis and Cowan. Credit: Mpourmpakis and Cowan A field studying something very small is becoming very big: In the last decade, the…
“#Mechanically activated ionic transport across single-digit carbon nanotubes” Credit: The Physics Laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure Nanofluidics, the field which studies nanoscale flows, has made considerable progress in recent years. The field is blossoming thanks to the development of new materials, in particular nanotubes and 2-D materials, which allows fabricating well-controlled nanofluidic devices amenable…
“#Li-ions transport across electrolytes and SEI” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The kinetics of Li-ions transport across the electrolyte and the SEI is usually the rate-determining step in the Li plating-stripping process. Before electroplating on the anode surface, Li-ions migrate from a cathode to an anode through pores in a separator that is filled with electrolytes….
