The modeling and simulation of self-organized intracellular twisters in the Drosophila oocyte
Cytoplasmic streaming is the large-scale motion of cytoplasm (i.e., gelatinous liquid inside cells) inside a living cell. This flow, known to regulate various intracellular processes, can vary greatly between different cell types at different stages.....»»
New modeling approach helps advance cryopreservation
Cryopreserving tissues and organs without damaging them requires a delicate dance through the principles of thermodynamics. Carnegie Mellon University's Biothermal Technology Laboratory has a novel modeling approach for isochoric preservation to keep.....»»
Florida, Texas, Central US could see biggest increase in hot days, new modeling shows
A new report examines how dangerously high temperatures could increase over the next 30 years and reveals a grim outlook for much of the nation, especially a vast swath of the central U.S. where residents aren't accustomed to extreme heat......»»
New study maps the influence of organized crime and the wealthy over Russian foreign policy
Russian foreign policy-making is often guided by elites, intermediaries, private companies, and organized crime groups rather than the national interest, a new study shows......»»

Fruit flies: Summer pests or scientific marvel?
Fly-swatting season is here. No sooner will you place your fresh strawberries on the kitchen counter than will the first fruit fly arrive. It won't take long for a platoon of Drosophila buddies to be hovering about the spoils......»»
Endogenous ceramide phosphoethanolamine modulates circadian rhythm and longevity in Drosophila
The circadian clock entrains rhythmic patterns in behavioral and physiological processes to temporally coordinate systemic metabolism with the rising and setting of the sun. In previous investigation on human subjects, sphingomyelins (SMs) exhibited.....»»
Whistic collaborates with Cobalt to reduce risks that come from onboarding third-party applications
Whistic collaborates with Cobalt to enable vendors to consolidate all of their security documentation, including standard questionnaires, certifications, audits, and pentests (a security assessment, analysis and simulation of cyber attacks on an appl.....»»
Computer modelling aims to inform restoration, conservation of coral reefs
A UBC Okanagan research team has created a computer modeling program to help scientists predict the effect of climate damage and eventual restoration plans on coral reefs around the globe......»»
Intracellular nanothermometer has unprecedented versatility
Body temperature is a basic indicator of health. Intracellular temperature is also a basic indicator of cellular health; cancer cells are more metabolically active, and thus can have a slightly higher temperature than healthy cells. However, until no.....»»
Complex modeling by researchers predicts wildfires may decline, eventually
Researchers attempting to help predict how the wildfire hazard will change due to various factors over the next several decades have some good news, and some bad news. Good news is, wildfire occurrence and intensity will likely decrease in several lo.....»»
How digital religion is shaping spirituality among millennials
The growing trend of digital religion among US and Canadian millennials mostly complements, not substitutes, in-person participation in organized religion, a new study found......»»
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter finds lunar pits harbor comfortable temperatures
NASA-funded scientists have discovered shaded locations within pits on the Moon that always hover around a comfortable 63 F (about 17 C) using data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft and computer modeling......»»
"They look almost human made." NOAA finds weird lines of holes in mid-Atlantic floor
Scientists exploring a submerged mountain range in the mid-Atlantic stumbled onto something they can't explain: An organized series of holes punched in the floor of the Atlantic Ocean......»»
An AI-assisted analysis of three-dimensional galaxy distribution in our universe
By applying a machine-learning technique, a neural network method, to gigantic amounts of simulation data about the formation of cosmic structures in the universe, a team of researchers has developed a very fast and highly efficient software program.....»»
