Circadian clocks, which drive circadian rhythms, are entwined with many essential systems in living things including plants, fungi, insects, and even humans. Because of this, disruptions to our circadian clocks are linked to higher disease rates in humans, including certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.
The Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University has named Timothy Holtz, global health epidemiologist, researcher, and board-certified physician in both preventive and internal medicine, as the newly appointed chair and director of the Sumner M. Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Wellness.
In a triumph for precision agriculture, researchers have pinpointed a tomato exocarp-specific promoter, unlocking the potential for tailored genetic enhancements. This innovation promises to bolster the fruit's visual appeal, fortify it against environmental stressors, and significantly prolong its shelf life.
Physical and sexual abuse, having parents who misuse substances, and witnessing violent crime are tragic events that don’t remain locked in a single point in time. Rather, they are termed adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and 64 percent of American adults who participated in a recent survey reported experiencing at least one ACE prior to turning 18 years old.
Drug-involved infant deaths more than doubled (120% increase) from 2018 to 2022, with the greatest proportion of deaths in 2021 (25.8%). The most prevalent underlying causes of death included assault (homicide) by drugs, medicaments and biological substances (35.6%).
CAR031 study at 9.03-mo median follow up achieves disease control rate (DCR) of 91.3% and objective response rate (ORR) of 56.5% for patients across all dose levels (DLs) and ORR of 75.0% at DL4
The utilization of Satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology is being employed to unveil concealed archaeological features and safeguard heritage sites. The research highlights the significant potential of SAR in detecting buried structures, monitoring environmental threats, and assessing post-disaster impacts. This study showcases various use-cases, including ancient cities and natural reserves across Italy, China, and Russia, demonstrating the versatility and advanced capabilities of SAR in archaeological prospection and heritage conservation.
A team of palaeontologists has discovered a fossil of a gigantic flying reptile from the Jurassic period with an estimated wingspan of more than three metres - making it one of the largest pterosaurs ever found from that era.
A new study has developed a two-level satellite timing system using a sparse sampling Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm. This innovative approach significantly boosts the autonomous time-keeping capabilities of next-generation navigation satellites, ensuring more stable and precise space-based time scales. The research addresses critical challenges in satellite navigation by improving long-term clock error predictions.
Researchers at the Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center at Rutgers Brain Health Institute are launching a pioneering study to better understand the characteristics that place South Asian populations at heightened risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study has uncovered the potential of Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) for monitoring Earth’s surface changes with unprecedented precision. The research delves into the use of GNSS-R for detecting Earth's surface characteristics, offering a game-changing approach for environmental monitoring and target detection.
A recent review focuses on the development and optimization of thermal management technologies (TMTs) for spacecraft electronics. These technologies address the challenges of heat acquisition, transport, and rejection in the harsh space environment. The review aims to guide future spacecraft thermal management systems, ensuring the reliability and performance of space missions.
We are delighted to share with you a new issue of HKIAS e-newsletter which aims to keep you connected, engaged, and well-informed about the latest updates and developments of HKIAS.
The underdiagnosis of dementia, especially among Black and Hispanic patients, is a long-standing challenge in medicine.
Declining snowfall is changing the seasonal patterns of streamflow throughout the Northern hemisphere boosting chances of water shortages in the summer, scientists have found.
Scientists from the National University of Singapore have developed innovative aerogels for radiative cooling and electromagnetic waves absorption. Using plastic waste, the team engineered thin-film aerogels that function as thermal insulators and radiative coolers. These aerogels can be applied to the roofs of buildings to reduce indoor temperatures.
Zespri explores the impact of fruit and vegetable consumption on children's wellbeing in world-first childhood dietary intervention study.
Researchers have discovered sustained hunting by humans prevented the woolly rhinoceros from accessing favourable habitats as Earth warmed following the Last Ice Age.
New research from the University of South Australia (UniSA) and Curtin University finds that up to 36% of young people leaving foster homes in Australia wind up homeless – compared to less than 10% of the general youth population.
