Anyone who knew of Imogen West-Knights as one half of the pitch-perfect satirical Twitter account Bougie London Literary Woman might have made assumptions about how her first novel would look: perhaps a smart, witty comedy skewering pretensions in the world of media or publishing. Deep Down is something altogether darker; an examination of the legacy of abuse shot through with sharp wit and compassion.Twentysomething siblings Billie and Tom are thrown together in Paris in the immediate aftermath of their father’s sudden…

A prototype of a device that can measure interstitial fluid uses microneedles. Credit: Mark FriedelAccording to researchers, interstitial fluid could serve as an alternative to blood in monitoring health and wellness.The next level of continuous health monitoring may lie just beneath the surface of the skin.According to biomedical engineers at the University of Cincinnati, interstitial fluid, which is the fluid that surrounds cells, tissues, and organs in the body, could be a valuable resource for early disease detection…

Current generation Mahindra Thar has been in the market for the last couple of years. Ever since it got launched in the market, we have been seeing variety of videos related to the SUV online. While some of them are related to modifications, others are related to off-roading and tips and tricks for the owners. Here we have a video where a Mahindra Thar owner is seen showing a trick which is quite useful for car owners who are living in areas where the temperature drops drastically. In this video, the Mahindra Thar owner…

AUSTIN—Known for their pink plumage and high-stepping gait, flamingos stand out in another way as well. They are so adept at filtering out tiny shrimp, worms, and other mud-dwelling critters that they thrive in food-poor environments that most birds shy away from, including salt flats, alkaline lakes, and hot springs. In a new analysis of flamingo feeding habits reported here last week at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology,…

A team of researchers has identified the areas of the brain that enable us to solve problems without prior experience, also known as fluid intelligence. This type of intelligence is considered to be a key aspect of human cognition and is linked to a range of cognitive abilities, including memory, as well as educational and professional success, social mobility, health, and longevity. Fluid intelligence is involved in “active thinking,” which includes mental processes like abstraction, judgment, attention, strategy…

Scientists have discovered the role of cerebrospinal fluid in cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease.Immune cells in brain and spinal fluid become dysregulated and ‘a little angry’ as we age.Cerebrospinal fluid immune system is drastically altered in individuals with cognitive impairmentDiscovery could potentially be used to treat inflammation of the brain First thorough analysis of important brain immune system The reason your three-pound brain doesn’t feel heavy is because it floats in a reservoir of…

For centuries, mathematicians have sought to understand and model the motion of fluids. The equations that describe how ripples crease the surface of a pond have also helped researchers to predict the weather, design better airplanes, and characterize how blood flows through the circulatory system. These equations are deceptively simple when written in the right mathematical language. However, their solutions are so complex that making sense of even basic questions about them can be prohibitively difficult.Perhaps the…

As the state plots ways to get more electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks on the roads, a Denver-based company that rents commercial trucks is electrifying more of its fleet. Fluid Truck, which allows people to rent commercial vehicles on demand by using their mobile devices, has added 2023 Ford F-150 electric trucks to its available rentals. James Eberhard, Fluid Truck CEO and co-founder, believes the rental company is the first in the country to add the Ford F-150 Lightning to its fleet. “Businesses that are looking at…
