Carbon dioxide, methane and cattle: What’s the connection? But what if the impact that belching cows have on global warming has been largely overstated? And what if there’s a missing link between methane’s potency and rising global temperatures? Piecing together the climate change puzzle is anything but simple, but one...
In 2015 the remains of about 15 hominins, new to science, were found in a near-inaccessible South African cave (See: The ‘star’ hominin of South Africa; September 2015), that number having risen to more than 24 at the time of writing. The ‘star’ status of Homo naledi (named after the cave’s name Naledi meaning star in ...
Troyanskii suggested a concept of machine translator that was able to look up words in a bilingual dictionary. He also outlined the principles of an interlingual system. This system was expected to parse and analyse a text and to save it in a language, called interlingua, similar to the human language Esperanto. The ne...
One of the biggest problems faced by most industries is the waste heat. It is of particular annoyance to electronics. The waste heat can not only damage components but it is essentially a large portion of energy that is being wasted. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley developed a nanofilm to get over ...
Booker T. Washington was born a slave in Virginia on April 5, 1856. Washington put himself through school, became a teacher and rose in prominence to become one of America's most influential educators and Civil Rights leaders. He was a graduate of Hampton Normal Agricultural Institute in Virginia, and in 1881, Washingt...
To better understand the development of immunity against PRRS virus, it is first necessary to have an idea of how the immune system works. An immune response is generally divided into innate and adaptive immunity. In short, the key differences between innate and adaptive immunity are in terms of time, specificity and m...
Savannas are tropical, with high temperatures year-round, but with rainfall highly seasonal. Savanna soils are often reddish, acid latosols, as in the tropical rain forest, but there may be gray to reddish calcareous soils also, especially in drier areas. The parent rock of the local area is important in determining th...
Introduction to the Rare Species Atlas In the past two decades, two groups of insects, the Order Lepidoptera (butterflies, skippers and moths) and Order Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies), have gained increased popularity.

Mathematics has gotten the title of ‘the toughest subject’ in school by most students. It has been a concern for the parents and a source of frustration for the children. While looking at the solutions for this problem, coding emerges to be helpful. We need to introduce children to creative mathematics to help them enj...
The thing to know about Florida's three mangrove species is that they tend to stratify into zones. Red Mangroves, the walking tree, are the farthest out into the water. Blacks are the middling mangrove, while our guy, white mangrove, Laguncularia racemosa, is the most upland of the three. Like the red and the black, th...
Eris is a trans-Neptunian object. This means that it orbits the sun at a greater average distance than Neptune, the eighth and last planet of the Solar System. Eris belongs to the scattered disc, a belt of asteroids and small celestial bodies at the edge of the solar system. The average distance between Eris and the su...
“We don’t just have a skeleton,” said one of the nodosaur researchers involved. “We have a dinosaur as it would have been.” You can’t even see its bones, but scientists are hailing it as perhaps the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever unearthed. That’s because those bones remain covered by intact skin and armor — 110...

Your Child's Self-Esteem Sometimes it's easy to notice when kids seem to feel good about themselves — and when they don't. We often describe this idea of feeling good about ourselves as "self-esteem." Kids with self-esteem: - feel liked and accepted - feel confident - feel proud of what they can do - think good things ...
The first Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace.

There are two types of engines: internal combustion engines and heat engines. A heat engine converts mechanical energy into thermal energy through the expansion of a working fluid. Both engines are similar in how they operate. Both engines use a heat source to heat water, which turns into steam and drives pistons and a...
“To develop a deep and meaningful understanding of mathematical concepts, students need to represent their ideas and strategies using a variety of models (concrete, physical, pictorial, oral, and symbolic).” 1 When students make connections between mathematical representations, number sense is developed. These connecti...
Most of us have seen the rainbow-hued breakdown of the composition of light. Light, of course, is a form of energy. A magnetic field changes the behavior of light — a phenomenon known as the Zeeman effect. The Zeeman effect occurs when a spectral line (one of those little lines you see in a rainbow band of light) is sp...

Humans are remarkably talented musicians. We can recognize a tune despite changes like being slowed down or sped up or even if all of the notes are shifted to a higher or lower pitch. Though these may seem like trivial feats, most other animals can’t manage them. Experiments have shown that six-month old human babies c...
A research paper to be published in the 18 August edition of the journal Physical Review Letters reveals a new effect in the fundamental way that laser light interacts with atoms.

Ancient Greeks philosopher Leucippus and his pupil Democritus first proposed the idea that all matter consisted of invisible "atomos," or atoms, as we know them today. They believed these atomos could be divided into smaller and smaller particles until they reached a point that they could no longer be divided. Although...
The recent discovery that exotic microbes teem in the rocks hundreds of metres beneath the floor of the Pacific Ocean looks set to fuel the controversy over where and when life began. And it will also considerably boost hopes for life on Mars. When H G Wells wrote War of the Worlds in the 1890s, belief in life on the R...

Despite claims in the 1890s that Mars was filled with canals teeming with water*, research over the past several decades has suggested that in fact, Mars has only a tiny amount of water, mostly near its surface. Then, during the 1970s, as part of NASA’s Mariner space orbiter program, dry river beds and canyons on Mars ...
The warming of the planet has advanced the date when plants leaf and flower in the spring by up to 6 days in some locations, creating a potential mismatch between the hatching of butterflies, bees, and other animals, and the availability of the food sources they depend on.
