ISS Daily Summary Report – 11/26/2018

At Home in Space (AHIS):  The crew completed an AHIS questionnaire this morning.  This Canadian Space Agency investigation assesses culture, values, and psychosocial adaptation of astronauts to a space environment shared by multinational crews on long-duration missions. It is hypothesized that astronauts develop a shared space culture that is an adaptive strategy for handling cultural … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2018/11/26/iss-daily-summary-report-11262018/

Single-cell asymmetries control how groups of cells form 3D shapes together

A new mathematical tool shows that altering one of two asymmetries in the properties of single cells controls how they organize into folded, biological shapes, and explains how these shapes are precisely reproduced and maintained. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127110953.htm

A life cycle solution to fossil fuel impacts

Pennsylvania's energy history is rich with the quantities of fossil fuels that it has produced, but is also rife with the environmental legacies of coal mining and, more recently, hydrofracturing. Water that finds its way into abandoned coal mines dotted throughout the Commonwealth resurfaces as acid mine drainage (AMD), while freshwater used to fracture or "frack" oil and natural gas deposits reemerges as "produced" water contaminated with salts, metals, and radioactive material. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127111058.htm

Why screen time can disrupt sleep

For most, the time spent staring at screens -- on computers, phones, iPads -- constitutes many hours and can often disrupt sleep. Now, researchers have pinpointed how certain cells in the eye process ambient light and reset our internal clocks, the daily cycles of physiological processes known as the circadian rhythm. When these cells are exposed to artificial light late into the night, our internal clocks can get confused, resulting in a host of health issues. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127111044.htm

Scientists decode mechanism of remembering -- and forgetting -- in fruit flies

Researchers have shown for the first time the physiological mechanism by which a memory is formed and then subsequently forgotten. The research, which was done in fruit flies, looked at the synaptic changes that occur during learning and forgetting. The investigators found that a single dopamine neuron can drive both the learning and forgetting process. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127092528.htm

Newly discovered deep-sea microbes gobble greenhouse gases and perhaps oil spills, too

Scientists have discovered nearly two dozen new types of microbes, many of which use hydrocarbons such as methane and butane as energy sources -- meaning they might be helping to limit the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and might one day be useful for cleaning up oil spills. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127092525.htm

Nations must triple efforts to reach 2°C target, concludes annual review of global emissions, climate action

Global emissions are on the rise as national commitments to combat climate change come up short. But surging momentum from the private sector and untapped potential from innovation and green-financing offer pathways to bridge the emissions gap. Those findings along with a sweeping review of climate action and the latest measurements of global emissions were presented by authors of the 2018 Emissions Gap Report. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127101735.htm

Citrate-based biomaterial fuels bone healing with less rejection

A material based on a natural product of bones and citrus fruit, called citrate, provides the extra energy that stem cells need to form new bone tissue, according to bioengineers. Their new understanding of the mechanism that allows citrate to aid in bone regeneration will help the researchers develop slow-release, biodegradable, citrate-releasing scaffolds to act as bone-growth templates to speed up healing in the body. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181126154116.htm
