Cognitive Musicology Cognitive musicology is a branch of cognitive science that focuses on computationally modeling musical knowledge to better understand music and cognition. It is an interdisciplinary…
Reforestation Schemes are insufficient to recoup the Carbon generated by Harvesting Wood Forests play an important role in trapping and storing carbon from the Earth’s atmosphere, but some models overestimate their carbon removal capacity by nearly threefold,…
Ancient Rocks provide a better picture of Tectonic Activity between Earthquakes According to a Penn State and Brown University research team, rocks buried deep in past subduction zones (where tectonic plates contact) could help scientists make…
Temperature and Humidity may drive the Future Propagation of Parasitic Worm Infestations As the environment changes, temperature isn’t the sole element influencing the spread of infectious diseases. Humidity also plays a role, according to new research published…
Microbial Toxins – produced by microorganisms Microbial toxins are those produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, dinoflagellates, and viruses. These are compounds produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungus,…
Zooplankton – a component of aquatic food webs Zooplankton are tiny organisms that float in aquatic habitats such as oceans, seas, and freshwater bodies. They are an important component of aquatic food webs,…
New Method to more Accurately Spot Underground Nuclear Tests Seismology plays a significant role in detecting underground nuclear tests. The seismic waves generated by these tests can be detected by sensitive equipment around the…
Black Carbon Sensor could fill Massive Monitoring Gaps Black carbon is the most dangerous air pollutant you’ve never heard of. Its two main sources, diesel exhaust and wood smoke from wildfires and household…
Subduction Invasion at its Early Stages Our planet’s lithosphere is divided into numerous tectonic plates. Their configuration is constantly changing as supercontinents assemble and disassemble, and oceans expand, grow, and then…
NGC 592 – an H II region type emission nebula NGC 592 is an H II region type emission nebula in the Triangulum galaxy (M33), which is in the Triangulum constellation. NGC 592 refers to…
Cyanobacteria – a phylum Cyanobacteria, also known as Cyanobacteriota, are a phylum of autotrophic gram-negative bacteria that can generate biological energy through photosynthesis. These are photosynthetic bacteria that are…
New Study is the First Step in Estimating Carbon Emissions in Agriculture Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMN) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have demonstrated for the first time that accurate, high-resolution…
