Activity-promoting workplaces could boost physical activity and reduce sitting time among office-based workers. Yet, there are several gaps in the existing literature on how workplace design shapes behavior. Researchers have identified three significant gaps — the impact of workplace culture, the role of overall building layout on workers’ behaviors, and the need for accurate behavioral …

A new study has uncovered a diverse array of microorganisms within the hot waters of the Roman Baths, regularly listed among the UK’s most popular tourist attractions. Tests showed 15 of the isolated bacteria — including examples of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes — displayed varying levels of inhibition against human pathogens including E.coli, Staphylococcus Aureus and …

Healthy adults under the age of 75 are unlikely to benefit from taking more than the daily intake of vitamin D recommended by the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) and do not require testing for vitamin D levels. For children, pregnant people, adults older than 75 years and adults with high-risk prediabetes, the guideline recommends vitamin …

A new proposal has emerged in response to the November 2021 floods that swept Sumas Prairie in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, causing mass evacuations and millions in damages. Instead of rebuilding the dykes to manage water flows and prevent future floods, scientists, along with members of the Sumas First Nation and other research partners, …

Plant hydraulics drive the biological process that moves fluids from roots to plant stems and leaves, creating streaming electric potential, or voltage, in the process. A study closely examined the differences in voltage caused by the concentrations of ions, types of ions, and pH of the fluid plants transport, tying the voltage changes to the …
