In the world, our seasons are driven by our earth’s 23.4-degree tilt; for instance, northern summertime happens when our earth’s north hemisphere is tilted towards the sunlight. No matter the tilt of HD 20794d, its seasons are rather identified by just how much it has proceeded along its eccentric orbit. It is an exceptional planet....
Nikita Gourianov at the University of Oxford and his colleagues have now developed a new approach that uses quantum computer-inspired algorithms called tensor networks to represent turbulence probability distributions.
"This work highlights the transformative potential of observing the black hole environment evolving over time," study co-author Hung-Yi Pu, an assistant professor at National Taiwan Normal University, said in the statement.
In one fish species, Nile tilapia, that behavioral — or sought-out — fever triggers the adaptive immune system, known for its acquired memory of specific bodily invaders, researchers report in the Dec. 24 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Mountains of research over the past decade demonstrate, time and again, that a decent night’s rest is essential for everything from cognitive function to heart health, mood and more.
A trove of engraved stones unearthed from ritual gathering sites on Bornholm, an island in Denmark, display motifs that most commonly represent the sun and croplike plants.
What's new here is that the researchers have demonstrated that physical injury can activate latent viruses in the brain, said Dr. Gorazd Stokin, who leads a neuroscience lab at the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine in the Czech Republic and was not involved in the new study.
Frost quakes happen when water from rainfall, snowmelt or flooding soaks into the ground, filling all available spaces.
The Rangemaster's performance for birdwatching was also impressive, offering 12x magnification, which provided detailed views of nesting geese, and clear images at distances where lower-quality optics would have struggled.
She holds a bachelor’s level in biology from Durham College and a master’s level in restorative and professional neuroscience from Oxford University. She has worked in science communication, clinical writing and as a neighborhood news press reporter while taking on journalism training. The organs in the breast and abdominal area of people with situs inversus...
That haze, the researchers say, causes the planet's upper atmosphere to be hotter than the layers below, creating an environment where carbon dioxide emits light rather than absorbing it, which could explain the lack of an expected dip in previous observations.
"Fluoride was found to significantly reduce tooth decay," Neil Maniar, a professor of public health practice at Northeastern University, told Live Science in an email.
