Scientists wanted to understand how water shortages impact pepper plant growth. They ran experiments with different water levels (ranging from 45 to 85%) and exposure times (2 to 8 days). They tracked how quickly plants developed, how much they were affected by light and heat (TEP), and the total gr
Imagine you have a secret diary with pages that need to be shared between different people. Blockchain technology is like a highly secure diary system that lets you control who sees your pages. When it comes to our health records, this control is vital. We don't want just anyone snooping around our
Climate shifts and global tensions are making Europe's power grid resilience a hot topic. One clever solution is voluntary demand response, which helps balance power supply and demand during energy shortages or surplus from renewables. An open data service called Interoperable Recommender is making
Pyoderma gangrenosum, or PG, is a skin condition where ulcers grow quickly and hurt a lot. These ulcers have edges that look like they're melting away. The tricky part about PG is that there's no one-size-fits-all treatment. Doctors find it tough because there's not enough solid evidence to guide th
Imagine you're a person with diabetes (PWD) in France. You're using one of those insulin delivery systems (IDS) to manage your health. You might be using something like multiple daily injections, or maybe you've got a tubeless pump, a tubed pump, or even a hybrid closed loop system. Now, let's talk
Plant diseases can be a real problem for farmers. Traditional chemicals often don't work well and can harm the environment. Scientists have been looking for better ways to protect plants. One interesting solution is using tiny light-absorbing structures called photosensitizers. These little helpers
Did you know that the rate of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been climbing in kids from the Northern Hemisphere? But what about our region? Not much is known about EoE here, and that's where this study comes in. Climate and daily habits might play a role in how EoE shows up, so understanding and
Have you ever thought about how to keep your Apple devices in top shape? In a recent chat with the team from CleanMyMac X, we got a sneak peek at an upcoming business tool from MacPaw set to hit the market in 2025. This tool is designed to help keep your fleet of Apple devices running smoothly and e
Tennis elbow, a painful condition caused by the breakdown of a tendon in the elbow called the extensor carpi radialis brevis, often improves with rest and therapy. But sometimes, surgery is required. Traditionally, surgeons either separate or both separate and mend the tendon. Mend it, and patients
For years, doctors have used single medications to treat high cholesterol and prevent heart disease. But with the arrival of statins, the focus has shifted to using combinations of drugs, both old and new, to better manage cholesterol levels. This approach, called combination therapy, is gaining tra
