Open database analysis of scaling and spatio-temporal properties of power grid frequencies ||

The energy system, and in particular the electricity system, is undergoing rapid changes due to the introduction of renewable energy sources, to mitigate climate change. To cope with these changes new policies and technologies are proposed and a range of business models are implemented in various energy systems across the world. New concepts, such as smart grids, flexumers, or prosumers, are developed and tested in pilot regions. Still, studies rarely systematically compare different approaches, data, or regions, in part because freely available research data are lacking.

Jane Goodall on Conservation, Climate Change and COVID-19: 'If We Carry on With Business as Usual, We're Going to Destroy Ourselves' ||

We need to realize we're part of the environment, that we need the natural world. We depend on it. We can't go on destroying. We've got to somehow understand that we're not separated from it, we are all intertwined. Harm nature, harm ourselves. If we continue with business as usual, we're going to come to the point of no return. At a certain point the ecosystems of the world will just give up and collapse and that's the end of us eventually too.

Medicinal "Anti-Inflammatory" Plants vs. Synthetic "Anti-Inflammatory" Drugs | NCBI, U.S. National Library of Medicine | 2018 Review || 


[US National Library of Medicine] Currently, the synthetic antiviral drugs or vaccines have limited use in developing countries due to the emergence of resistant strains, the high cost, and the harmful side effects. However, Anti-Inflammatory agents derived from herbs (medicinal plants) have many advantages such as low cost and toxicity, extensive source, and ease of access. Moreover, medicinal plants usually have multitarget effects, which not only act as antiviral agents (with fewer or no side effects) but also stimulate immunity. Therefore, medicinal plant extracts and phytochemicals are attracting more and more attention as the potential sources for the development of new antiviral drugs during the recent decade.
