Not only strawberry fruits themselves are a source of health nutrients; their caps also contain valuable bioactive compounds, research conducted by scientists from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences and the University of Warmia and Mazury shows.
Polish researchers have developed Vclust, a computer program that allows to compare millions of virus sequences in a matter of hours, and organize them according to the degree of similarity. Analysing huge genetic data sets with traditional methods would take years.
The end of the life of the International Space Station (ISS), which will operate until 2030, is approaching. NASA assumes that private companies will take over the tasks of the ISS. However, according to Jarosław Juszkiewicz from the Planetarium - Silesian Science Park, the lack of permanent human presence in space is a big step back.
Although technologies such as Alert RCB are already effective tools for warning the population, the mobile networks they rely on can themselves be destroyed in the event of a disaster. During the EU Space Days in Gdańsk, experts presented a new, resistant and fast satellite technology based on the Galileo system.
The Twardowsky 2 rocket, over 4 m long, is the largest such build in the history of the Warsaw University of Technology Student Astronautical Club. Students are currently finishing the production of the last components and testing and integrating all parts of the rocket. Final tests are planned for the summer.
Parasitic proteins with therapeutic potential that can change the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn's disease or MS, have been identified by Katarzyna Donskow-Łysoniewska, PhD, from Lazarski University.
The Jagiellonian University is 395th in The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR). The other Polish universities in the ranking are the University of Warsaw (427th) and the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków (627th). Americans dominate the ranking, with Harvard University at the forefront.
Intra-species adoptions are a well-known phenomenon in the bird world, especially in large breeding colonies of seabirds. Inter-species adoptions - apart from brood parasites such as cuckoos, honeyguides or cowbirds - do occur, but they are rare and remain a mystery to scientists, says ornithologist Marta Cholewa, PhD.
Examining the scope and dimensions of sharenting in Europe and East Africa, as well as promoting children's rights and raising public awareness of the threats and challenges children face in the digital world are the main goals of the project by researchers from the University of Silesia under the EU Horizon programme.
Scientists from Poland and Spain have developed a method of simultaneously creating many plans to irradiate the patient, from which the oncologist will choose the best one for a specific patient. The solution is expected to speed up the treatment process and help specialists.
