How mosquito-controlling bacteria might also enhance insect fertility
A new study reveals biological mechanisms by which a specific strain of bacteria in the Wolbachia genus might enhance the fertility of the insects it infects—with potentially important implications for mosquito-control strategies. Shelbi Russell of.....»»
A new versatile tool for studying fish hormones may transform fish farming
Dr. Itamar Harel, along with Ph.D. student Eitan Moses and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Roman Franek, all from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has introduced an innovative platform for controlling peptide hormones in fish, providing a fast and eff.....»»
Predicting potential problems of persistent plastic particulates
Plastics monopolize our household accessories due to their low cost and versatility. Unfortunately, the lack of proper disposal measures has led to widespread proliferation of these non-biodegradables into the natural environment. Although plastics d.....»»
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.....»»
Enzyodynamic therapy at nanoscale
Enzyodynamic therapy (EDT) is a new type of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related dynamic therapeutic modality, which adequately utilizes the enzyme-triggered catalytic reactions in living organisms and achieves disease treatment through controlling.....»»
Federal forecasters predict warm, wet US winter but less snow because of El Nino, climate change
The upcoming United States winter looks likely to be a bit low on snow and extreme cold outbreaks, with federal forecasters predicting the North to get warmer than normal and the South wetter and stormier......»»
How to help save plants from extinction: Predicting their demise could keep them alive
Now is the time to identify the conditions that cause plants to die. Doing so will allow us to better protect plants by choosing conservation targets more strategically, UC Riverside botanists argue in a new paper......»»
When predicting the function of microbial communities, simpler may be better
As biologists learn more about how microbial communities work together, a major goal is understanding how their composition determines function. What combination of strains and species makes the best team for breaking down pollutants, for example, or.....»»
Study shows wild pig populations in US can be managed
Recent conservation efforts have proven effective at controlling wild pig populations in the Southeastern United States, according to new research from the University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and Warnell School of Forestry and N.....»»

Study shows live plant pathogens can travel on dust across oceans
Plant pathogens can hitch rides on dust and remain viable, with the potential for traveling across the planet to infect areas far afield, a finding with important implications for global food security and for predicting future outbreaks......»»
Bacteria opt for the best price-to-quality ratio to predict the future
Predicting the future can be a matter of life or death. Just think, every time you cross the street, you predict whether this is possible without being run over. Experiments show that even single-celled organisms such as bacteria can predict the futu.....»»
Farmer behavior found to play a crucial role in managing livestock diseases
A study published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine has shown how differences in farmer behavior can affect controlling the scale of disease outbreaks. Farmer behavior, especially vaccine uptake or other preventative measures, is critical to how effe.....»»
Low loss Mie scatterer shown to enhance Q and chirality control in silicon microring
Non-Hermitian systems with their spectral degeneracies known as exceptional points (EPs) have been explored for lasing, controlling light transport, and enhancing a sensor's response......»»
Measuring and predicting collision cross section values for unknown compounds
Researchers at Auburn University are seeking ways to identify unknown compounds using collision cross section (CCS) measurements paired with prediction methods including computational models and machine learning. Their study in the Journal of Mass Sp.....»»
Dune: Spice Wars: release date window, trailer, news, and more
While spice is the key to controlling the universe, information is a close second. Here's everything we know about the newly announced RTS Dune: Spice Wars......»»
Can this forest survive? Predicting forest death or recovery after drought
Researchers from UC Davis can now predict which forests could survive despite future drought. Their new method links precipitation to tree growth, and it can help people decide where to put their resources as climate change affects patterns of snow a.....»»
Gaining time without sacrificing accuracy when predicting typhoon-induced storm surges
A deep learning method developed by RIKEN researchers can accurately predict the destructive power of typhoon-induced storm surges on coastal regions in a fraction of the time of conventional models. It promises to buy precious time for coastal resid.....»»
