“#Avoiding food contamination with a durable coating for hard surfaces” A new study from the University of Missouri demonstrates that a durable coating—made from titanium dioxide—is capable of eliminating foodborne germs, such as salmonella and E. coli, and provides a preventative layer of protection against future cross-contamination on stainless steel food-contact surfaces. In the future,…
“#Heat stress in gestating dairy cows impairs performance of future generations” Number of dairy cows (dry and milking) per state (USDA-ERS, 2019) and number of heat stress days per state (NOAA, 2019). Taller bars represent more cows within each cow number range. A heat stress was declared when average daily temperature-humidity index was equal to…
“#Accelerated drying increases potential wildfire ignitions statewide in Texas” Game Ranch Wildfire in Nolan County. Credit: Texas A&M Forest Service Significant wildfire activity has increased statewide, and accelerated drying has elevated the potential for new wildfire ignitions. New wildfires will become increasingly difficult to extinguish if current temperatures and drying conditions persist into August as…
“#Women may not be counted accurately during Census, professor says” Credit: CC0 Public Domain It’s no secret the COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses and schools to close and people to shelter in place, forcing millions to file for unemployment and delivering a huge blow to the U.S. economy. But Wake Forest sociology professor Catherine E. Harnois…
“#Uncovering crime patterns using location data” San Francisco: Amount of check-ins. Credit: ETH Zurich When and where does crime arise in cities? To answer this question, criminologists have previously relied on rather static models. Crime has been linked, for example, to the structure of the resident population or to the use of land in a…
“#Q&A: Airborne water leak detection using an innovative ‘triangle method’” Credit: WADI This year is on course to be one of the hottest since measurements began and Europe saw its joint second warmest June on record. While the global soaring temperature is heavily impacting water resources, it is crucial to address the leakages in pipes…
“#Pine trees have an ecological memory” The Pfyn Forest in central Valais is the largest contiguous pine forest in Switzerland. Credit: Reinhard Lässig Climate change is leading to drier conditions in Valais. For around two decades now, many Scots pines in the canton have been dying, in some cases over large areas. The Swiss Federal…
