Boosting a natural cellular process could reduce damage, study suggests — ScienceDaily
An unfortunate truth about the use of mechanical ventilation to save the lives of patients in respiratory distress is that the pressure used to inflate the lungs is likely to cause further lung damage. In a new study, scientists identified a molecule that is produced by immune cells during mechanical ventilation to try to decrease […]
Boosting Weather Prediction with Machine Learning
Today predictions of the next several days’ weather can be remarkably accurate, thanks to decades of development of equations that closely capture atmospheric processes. However, they are not perfect. Data-driven approaches that use machine learning and other artificial intelligence tools to learn from past weather patterns might provide even better forecasts, with lower […]
Chemists create new crystal form of insecticide, boosting its ability to fight mosquitoes and malaria — ScienceDaily
Through a simple process of heating and cooling, New York University researchers have created a new crystal form of deltamethrin — a common insecticide used to control malaria — resulting in an insecticide that is up to 12 times more effective against mosquitoes than the existing form. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of […]
