Bumrah detailed his strategic adjustments due to challenging pitch conditions. India ended Day 2 at 81/3, holding a significant lead of 308 runs.

Here's a fun puzzle from Martin Gardner's book, Amusing Experiments.

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO LEARN TO WRITE

Now, when you have learned to write and draw pictures, you may think that it is very easy to do all that.

Most people who don't question potential errors on medical bills think doing so won't get results. Evidence suggests otherwise.

Over 40 horses were stepped out on Thursday on ground described as 'perfect' after the previous evening's showers by veteran trainer Vaughan Marshall

People who live off 2222 are worried about their safety as some motorists are taking a dangerous joy ride.

The incidence of stroke continues to increase for adults and children living with sickle cell disease (SCD) despite the Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP) establishing standards of care like transfusions and tests to measure blood flow in the brain for those deemed high-risk, according to a new study.

Using MRI scans of almost 1,000 Dutch people, researchers show that there is indeed a connection between brain structure and ideology. However, the connection is smaller than expected. Nevertheless, the researchers find it remarkable that differences in the brain are linked to something as abstract as ideology.

Scientists have detected lipid biomarkers in children and teenagers with obesity that indicate an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, liver and heart disease as adults. A one-year lifestyle intervention lowered the levels of these lipid biomarkers, which demonstrates the importance of early intervention for children with obesity.

A protein called STING, previously shown to control a pathway that contributes to antiviral signaling, also plays an important role in cellular stress clearance and cell survival, according to a new article.

Researchers have found microplastics less than 300 m in size in coral skeletons. The team developed a new protocol to extract and detect microplastics and applied it to coral samples from the Gulf of Thailand. The finding may also explain the 'missing plastic problem,' where about 70% of plastic in the oceans cannot be found. The corals may act as a 'sink' for microplastics, absorbing them from the marine environment.

Here are offbeat highlights this week from the campaign trail. 'Greater than Elvis' Never one to be modest, Trump said he is "greater than Elvis," and suggested that he pulls in bigger crowds than the rock and roll legend. "Nobody can draw crowds like me...

I don't have the privilege of a guitar," he told a rally in New York. One vote for mankind Two astronauts stranded... Читать дальше...

Researchers used a detailed mathematical model to demonstrate that the construction sector in the UK and Europe could almost eliminate its carbon emissions by 2060. This could be achieved through using state-of-the-art energy efficiency technologies to renovate existing properties and construct new ones.

Scientists have discovered the mechanism by which the bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri, the causative agent of dysentery, manipulates molecular activity to assure its survival against its host's natural defenses.

A research group has developed a new COVID-19 testing system using Janus particles -- microparticles with two sides possessing distinctive molecular properties. These particles are engineered to bind specifically to target antigens, such as viral proteins, creating a low-cost, accurate, and rapid means of testing for viral diseases. The system's versatility means it can potentially be used to test for other diseases and biomarkers linked to other conditions.

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear. In a recent study, researchers from Japan conducted behavioral experiments on monkeys whose OFC pathways could be selectively silenced chemically. Findings demonstrate how these independent pathways are linked to experience-based adaptation and knowledge-based adaptation in primates.
