It is an endless environmental endeavor. Callie Ridolfi was drawn to environmental issues from a young age and continued her quest to help protect the planet into adulthood. While growing up in Colorado and skiing, hiking and exploring the mountains, she often spotted old mining sites and became interested inRead More →
A stimulating environment keeps the “hippocampus” – which is the brain’s memory control center – young, so to speak. The causes of this are molecular mechanisms that affect the regulation of genes. These current findings from studies in mice provide clues as to why an active and varied life canRead More →
A more “robust and accurate” pollution analysis was missing from the Southern California International Gateway project when it was first approved in 2013, leading a judge to block it in 2016, demanding that an analysis be updated. day on air quality and health effects be completed before the project canRead More →

environmental factors as a percentage of skin problems During the summer months, when the harmful effects of the sun increase, health and skin care becomes more important. Studies show that 80% of the factors that cause skin aging are caused by environmental factors. In addition, even when the weather isRead More →
June 17, 2021 A biologist from RUDN University studied the aggressive effect of environmental factors, such as ozone, salts and water, on Ultrafine nanofibers of biopolymers. The RUDN University biologist studied the aggressive impact of environmental factors (water, salts and ozone) on ultrafine nanofibers of biopolymers. The results will helpRead More →
During pandemics, protective behaviors must be motivated by effective communication. A critical factor in understanding a population’s response to such a threat is the fear it elicits, as fear both helps motivate protective responses, but can also lead to panic behaviors. Additionally, lockdown measures affect well-being, making it important toRead More →
Prof. Cindy Kao, Design and Environmental Analysis, expands her lab’s research into technology and design to raise Ithaca’s young girls, and Prof. K. Max Zhang, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, redefines the boundaries of technology and energy. In all STEM fields, the two researchers are breaking down barriers and engaging localRead More →
Westminster College’s Center for the Environment launches its series of summer educational programs with “Forest Therapy: Science Fact or Fiction?” at 9 a.m. Saturday at the college’s outdoor field station located at 937 Fayette-New Wilmington Road in New Wilmington. Participants will walk through the field station while learning about theRead More →
The ability to precisely control processing rates and achieve energy savings has generalized the application of frequency converters (VFDs) and they are increasingly applied to loads in harsh environments. As with many electronic devices, environmental conditions can be a key factor in durability and reliability; temperature, humidity, shock and vibration,Read More →
Associate Professor Ken tachibana, reveals how prenatal exposure to ambient fine particles disrupts DNA methylation and subsequent gene expression in fetal development Human and animal epidemiological studies indicate that nutrition and environmental stimuli during prenatal and postnatal mammalian development influence developmental pathways and thus induce permanent changes in metabolism andRead More →
