Childbirth versus pelvic floor stability
Human childbirth is comparatively difficult because our babies' heads are large relative to our birth canals. This tight 'fetopelvic' fit increases the risk of obstructed labor, which in turn has potentially dire outcomes for both mother and child. I.....»»

Top law enforcement agency taps IT experts to calculate stolen energy costs. Enlarge (credit: Javier Zayas Photography | Moment) Police were called to dismantle a secret cryptomining rig winding throughout the floors and.....»»
Study proposes new framework to identify keystone microbial species
Microbial communities are thought to contain keystone species, which can disproportionately affect the stability of the communities, even if only present in low abundances. Identifying these keystone species can be challenging, especially in the huma.....»»
A reliable experimental benchmark in crystal structure prediction of pharmaceutical drugs
Physical properties (stability, solubility, etc.), critical to the performance of pharmaceutical and functional materials, are known to strongly depend on the solid-state form and environmental factors, such as temperature and relative humidity. Reco.....»»

Russia Blocks 167 VPNs, Steps Up OpenVPN & WireGuard Disruption
The head of the Russian department responsible for identifying threats to the "stability, security and integrity" of the internet, has revealed the extent of the Kremlin's VPN crackdown. Former FSO officer Sergei Khutortsev, a central figure in Russi.....»»
"Miniature" mountain creature with "squeaker"-like call discovered as new species
A "squeaker"-like sound pierced the air of a mountain forest in Rwanda. The call came from a "miniature" creature sitting on the forest floor. Scientists found the source of the sound—and discovered a new species......»»
How global warming shakes the Earth: Seismic data show ocean waves gaining strength as the planet warms
As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves are so powerful and widespread that they show up as a steady thrum on seismographs, the same instruments used to monitor and study.....»»
Warmer, wetter winters bring risks to river insects
Research by Cardiff University has shown that the warmer, wetter winters in the U.K. caused by climate change are likely to impact the stability of insect populations in streams......»»
Light guide plate based on perovskite nanocomposites
The fact that nanoparticle and polymer hybrid materials can often combine the advantages of each has been demonstrated in several fields. Embedding PNCs into polymer is an effective strategy to enhance the PNCs stability and polymer can endow the PNC.....»»
Remains of 3,000-mile-wide "lost continent" discovered on ocean floor, study says
While Atlantis—a fabled continent said to have been swallowed by the sea—continues to elude its seekers, another long-lost and less famous land mass has been discovered at the bottom of the ocean......»»
Underwater robot finds new circulation pattern in Antarctic ice shelf
More than merely cracks in the ice, crevasses play an important role in circulating seawater beneath Antarctic ice shelves, potentially influencing their stability, finds Cornell University-led research based on a first-of-its-kind exploration by an.....»»
Genomic stability: A double-edged sword for sharks
Sharks have been populating the oceans for about 400 to 500 million years. While our planet and many of its inhabitants have undergone massive changes several times during this period, this basal group of vertebrates has remained somewhat constant. T.....»»
Researcher scans tropical forest with mixed-reality device
Rice University scientists used a commercially available mixed-reality headset with custom-designed software to measure and analyze forest floor vegetation, demonstrating a correlation between animal diversity and the mapped habitat of a Tanzanian na.....»»
Modulation of protein stability: A new approach to studying cosolvent effects
Controlling the process of destabilization is important when manipulating the unfolding and refolding of proteins in vitro (outside their native environment). To this end, urea and alcohol are used as cosolvents, substances added in small amounts alo.....»»
