Blood pressure medication recalled over fears of 'microbial contamination'
A blood pressure medication has been recalled from suppliers due to possible “microbial contamination”. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and can cut the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. A notice issued by the Medicines and…

In 1957, as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace program, the United States launched Project Ploughshare, an intiative designed to try and find a peaceful, constructive use for the ever expanding amount of nuclear warhead that America was accumulating as the Cold War pressed on.
These ideas included,
1958's Project Chariot, a proposed plan where six hydrogen bombs would be detonated near Cape Thompson in Alaska to create an artificial deep water harbour.
Tumblr media
1963's Project Carryall, where United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) proposal to use 23 nuclear explosives to excavate a path for Interstate 40 (I-40) and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) through the Bristol Mountains of southern California.
Tumblr media
And a 1963 memo from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory would have used 520 2-megaton nuclear explosions to excavate a canal through the Negev Desert in Israel to create a US-owned alternate route to the Suez Canal.
Tumblr media
Obviously none of these plans ever actually made it to completion (to the annoyance of Edward Teller, the scientist who proposed Project Chariot), although the irony of partially nuking sections of Israel and Palestine in the name of peace and capitalism while thinking there would be no repercussions was apparently lost on them.
However, as a result of the testing of nuclear weapons in New Mexico under Ploughshare, as part of a 1961 experiment named Project Gnome, seeing, among other things, whether the steam created from an atomic explosion could be used to generate electricity, did have some real world side-effects, such as surrounding towns being subject to fallout and irradiated drinking water, which, naturally lead to public outcry.
Project Ploughshare was eventually discontinued in 1977, following the detonation of 35 different nuclear weapons in 27 different tests, with the Soviet Union's equivalent program, Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy, which detonated bombs in 124 tests until its end in 1989.

October 2nd 1852 saw the birth of William Ramsay in Glasgow.
Ramsay studied at the Glasgow University, 1866 to 1870, working from 1869 at the city analyst's laboratory to gain practical experience in Chemistry. He studied in Germany from 1870 to 1872, receiving a PhD from the University of Tübingen. In 1874 he was appointed tutorial assistant in the University's Chemistry Department, where he carried out important research in Organic Chemistry. He was appointed Professor of Chemistry at University College, Bristol, in 1880.
Ramsay's greatest achievements were in something called inorganic chemistry. His work with the physicist Lord Raleigh resulted in the discovery of argon in 1894 and he and his student assistant proceeded to find helium, neon, krypton, and xenon, confirming a new group of elements in the periodic table. Ramsay received the Nobel Prize in recognition of the achievement. He went on to work with Frederick Soddy investigating radioactivity, and they provided experimental evidence for Rutherford's theory of radioactive disintegration.
During his lifetime, Ramsay won a host of awards and honorary degrees here and abroad. He was created KCB in 1902.
There's a wee bit more on him here https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/1904/ramsay/biographical/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFo0lhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSrwJhaunh2XJlEv83XPF5cmCzXHHDHKMbX6pt4O9-cD4FtTxF3YcNnZlg_aem_rjxtkuvcK4OqdX43QcWJrw

It did not seem like a good thing when a precious consignment of human tumour samples on its way from Kampala, Uganda, to Heathrow was diverted to Manchester. When the samples finally arrived at the Middlesex hospital in London, they were swimming in murky fluid in their vials as though they had been infected with bacteria.
But when the pathologist Anthony Epstein looked at the fluid under the microscope he saw no bacteria, just individual cells that had been shaken loose from the tumours. And that was just what he needed in order to search for elusive virus particles and test his hunch that they were causing cancer.
In the early 1960s Epstein, who has died aged 102, had heard a lecture by Denis Burkitt, an Irish surgeon working in Kampala, that described strange tumours (now known as Burkitt lymphoma) growing around the jaws of children in equatorial Africa.
Intriguingly, the geographical distribution of the condition seemed to depend on temperature and rainfall, suggesting a biological cause. Epstein, who had been working with viruses that cause cancer in chickens, immediately suspected a virus might be involved, perhaps in association with another tropical disease such as malaria.
Epstein began to collaborate with Burkitt, who supplied him with tumours from children he had treated. But Epstein’s efforts to grow pieces of tumour in the laboratory and isolate a virus had all been unsuccessful until the dissociated cells arrived.
With his graduate student Yvonne Barr, he then decided to look at cultures of these cells in an electron microscope, a powerful instrument that had only recently become available in his lab.
The very first image showed a tell-tale outline that looked like one of the family of herpes viruses. It turned out to be a previously undescribed member of that family, and was given the name Epstein-Barr virus. In 1964, Epstein, Barr and Epstein’s research assistant, Bert Achong, published the first evidence that cancer in humans could be caused by a virus – to be greeted by widespread scepticism even though they went on to demonstrate that EB virus caused tumours in monkeys.
Thanks to samples supplied by Epstein, in 1970 Werner and Gertrude Henle at the Children’s hospital in Philadelphia discovered that EB virus also caused glandular fever. That made it possible to design a test for antibodies to the virus in order to confirm a diagnosis. EB virus turned out to be very common, infecting most children in early life, though it usually causes glandular fever only in older teenagers and young adults. As well as causing Burkitt lymphoma in endemic areas in Africa and Papua New Guinea, it is also associated with a cancer of the nose and throat that is the most common cancer of men in south China, as well as cancers in people whose immune systems have been compromised, such as those infected with HIV.
More recent research suggests that EB virus might also be involved in some cases of multiple sclerosis, and that people who have previously had glandular fever are more susceptible to severe Covid-19.
After the discovery, Epstein and others devoted time and effort to trying to find out under what circumstances EB virus causes cancer. The relationship between the virus, other diseases, human genetics and cancer is complex, and it took decades before the medical community could accept the EB virus as a cause with confidence.
Not until 1997 did the International Agency for Research on Cancer class it as a Group 1 carcinogen, formally acknowledging its role in a variety of cancers.
The discovery of EB virus opened up a whole new field of research into cancer-causing viruses. It also raised the exciting possibility of preventing cancers through vaccination, an advance that has now been achieved in the case of human papilloma virus, which causes cervical cancer, and hepatitis B virus, which causes liver cancer.
By the time of his retirement in 1985, Epstein’s research group at the University of Bristol had developed a candidate vaccine that protected monkeys infected with EB virus against tumours, but neither it nor any other candidate has yet been successfully developed for human use.
Epstein was born in London, one of three children of Olga (nee Oppenheimer) and Mortimer Epstein. Mortimer was a writer and translator who edited The Statesman’s Yearbook for Macmillan from 1924 until his death in 1946. Olga was involved with charitable work in the Jewish community. Anthony attended St Paul’s school in west London, where the biology teacher Sidney Pask encouraged boys to go far beyond the syllabus and whose pupils also included Robert Winston and Jonathan Miller.
Epstein won a place to study medicine at Trinity College, Cambridge. He moved to Middlesex hospital medical school in wartime London to complete his training, before doing his national service in India with the Royal Army Medical Corps. He returned to work at the Middlesex hospital as assistant pathologist, conducting his own research. Thinking electron microscopy might be useful in his studies of cancer-causing viruses in chickens, he spent some time learning the new technique at the Rockefeller Institute in New York (now Rockefeller University). Not long afterwards he attended Burkitt’s lecture and began the serendipitous route to his discovery.
In 1968 he was appointed professor and head of the department of pathology at the University of Bristol, where he remained until his retirement. He moved to Oxford as a fellow of Wolfson College in 1986, becoming an honorary fellow in 2001.
An exemplary scientific good citizen, he served as foreign secretary and vice-president of the Royal Society, and sat on boards and councils for numerous national and international research organisations, including as a special representative of the director general of Unesco; he was also a patron of Humanists UK. Among his many prizes and honorary degrees, he received the international Gairdner award for biomedical research in 1988. He was appointed CBE in 1985 and knighted in 1991.
“It was a series of accidents, really,” he said of his discovery in a conversation with Burkitt they recorded for Oxford Brookes University’s oral history archive in 1991. “Lucky quirks.” Burkitt immediately responded with Louis Pasteur’s aphorism: “Chance favours the prepared mind.”
Epstein was a deeply cultured man who retained a lively interest in many subjects – particularly oriental rugs, Tibet and amphibians – until the end of his life.
He is survived by his partner, Kate Ward, by his children Susan, Simon and Michael, from his marriage to Lisbeth Knight, from whom he was separated in 1965, and who died in 2015, and by two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
🔔Michael Anthony Epstein, pathologist, born 18 May 1921; died 6 February 2024

Researchers simulate moon dust collection with teleoperated robots
Teleoperated robots for gathering moon dust are a step closer, according to research by scientists at the University of Bristol. The researchers presented their paper "Demonstrating Trustworthiness in Open-Loop Model Mediated Teleoperation for Collecting Lunar Regolith Simulant" at IROS 2024 (IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems).
The team were able to complete a sample collection task by controlling a virtual simulation, which then sent commands to a physical robot to mirror the simulation's actions. They were able to do so while only monitoring the simulation—without needing physical camera streams—meaning this tool could be particularly useful for delayed teleoperation on the moon.
Alongside a boom in lunar lander missions this decade, several public and private organizations are now researching how best to extract valuable resources, such as oxygen and water, from readily available materials such as lunar regolith (moon dust). Remote handling of regolith will be an essential step in these activities, as it would first need to be collected from the moon's surface. Beyond this, moon dust is not easy to work with. It's sticky and abrasive, and will be handled under reduced gravity.
Tumblr media
Lead author Joe Louca from the Bristol's School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, and the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, explained, "One option could be to have astronauts use this simulation to prepare for upcoming lunar exploration missions.
"We can adjust how strong gravity is in this model, and provide haptic feedback, so we could give astronauts a sense of how moon dust would feel and behave in lunar conditions—which has a sixth of the gravitational pull of the Earth's.
"This simulation could also help us to operate lunar robots remotely from Earth, avoiding the problem of signal delays."
Using a virtual model of regolith can also reduce the barriers to entry for people looking to develop lunar robots. Instead of needing to invest in expensive simulants (artificial dust with the same properties as regolith), or have access to facilities, people developing lunar robots could use this simulation to carry out initial tests on their systems.
Now, the team will investigate how people actually respond to this system when controlling a robot, with several seconds of delay. Systems with human operators that are technically effective may still have to overcome non-technical barriers, like whether a person trusts that the system will work.
Tumblr media
Louca added, "The model predicted the outcome of a regolith simulant scooping task with sufficient accuracy to be considered effective and trustworthy 100% and 92.5% of the time.
"In the next decade we're going to see several crewed and uncrewed missions to the moon, such as NASA's Artemis program and China's Chang'e program.
"This simulation could be a valuable tool to support preparation or operation for these missions."
The testing was carried out at the European Space Agency's European Center for Space Applications and Telecommunications site in Harwell.

Jellyfish facts
1. Jellyfish do not have brains, hearts, or lungs (Source: Marine Conservation Society)
2. Jellyfish are the oldest multi-organ animal in the world. They have been around for at least 500 million years (Source: PETA)
3. Jellyfish may be the first animals with no central nervous system that have been observed to sleep (Source: PETA)
4. One species of Jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) may be immortal because they can revert to a more juvenile developmental state when they are threatened, sick, or old and will mature into a mature adult again (Source: One Earth)
5. 150 million people are stung by jellyfish each year (Source: Bristol aquarium)
Consumerism facts
1. Nail polish fact: Nail polish originated in China as early as 3000 B.C., and in Ancient Egypt it was used to represent class rankings; lower class individuals wore nude and light polish and high class individuals wore red (source: Good Housekeeping).
2. Chevy fact: Nobody knows how the bowtie logo was originated. Some people think that William Durant—the founder of General Motors—saw a similar design on hotel wallpaper, while others say he was inspired by a newspaper advertisement (Source: CrossroadsGM.net)
3. Nalgene fact: Nalgene plastic products were originally developed for use in laboratories for things like jars, test tubes, and Petri dishes. This is because it was shatterproof and lighter than glass. (Source: Wikipedia)
4. Tote bag fact: In Indonesia in the 1970s-1980s, tote bags were often called student bags because students would print a political statement on a plain canvas bag to convey their political beliefs (Source: Vivaldi.net)
5. Champagne fact: The Guinness World Record for the longest recorded champagne cork flight is about 177 feet which was set by Emeritus Heinrich Medicus in June 1988 at the Woodbury Vineyards Winery in New York (Source: the Champagne Company)
Attendance prompt:
“As well as power, red has baser associations with lust and aggression. The devil is traditionally depicted in red. The association of red and sex in the West dates back at least until the Middle Ages. It was frequently the color assigned to prostitutes in the many sumptuary laws passed over the course of the period” (pg. 136)
This quote stuck out to me because I think it’s interesting that one color seemingly had such vastly different representations. One was of power, and like I mentioned in my nail polish fact, was often worn by the upper class. The other was of lust, aggression, and even evil. While they seem very different, power is also often associated with lust and aggression, so it might make sense that one color represented all of these themes.

Aluprof Excel in Passivhaus Projects
Passivhaus design is a set of standards and design principles to achieve exceptional energy efficiency, significantly reducing heating and cooling demands in buildings. By employing rigorous insulation standards, airtight construction and high-performance windows, Passivhaus buildings minimise energy loss and maintain stable indoor temperatures. The use of heat recovery ventilation systems ensures that fresh air is continuously supplied, whilst retaining warmth in winter and coolness in summer. This leads to dramatically lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, the controlled indoor environment enhances occupant comfort, eliminating drafts, temperature fluctuations, and cold bridging.
Specifying Passivhaus windows, doors and facades from Aluprof contributes to sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the transition to net-zero carbon emissions. The methodology prioritises efficient use of materials, often incorporating sustainable and recycled options. Beyond environmental benefits, Passivhaus buildings promote superior indoor air quality through continuous ventilation and effective pollutant filtration. This is particularly beneficial for occupants with respiratory issues or allergies. The focus on thermal comfort and noise reduction further enhances the well-being of occupants, making Passivhaus a holistic approach to healthy and sustainable living spaces.
Aluprof was the first systems company in the UK to design and supply Passivhaus certified aluminium framed glazing systems and currently has the widest range of Passivhaus Trust certified aluminium windows, doors and curtain wall systems. Utilising low-carbon aluminium helps reduce embodied carbon emissions during the production phase, while the thermally efficient products further lower operational carbon emissions throughout the building's life by reducing energy demand. Sustainability is further enhanced as quality methods of construction with high quality finishes, well specified and designed products supplied by Aluprof, can offer many decades of extended service life.
Some of the projects supplied by Aluprof in recent years include the following high profile buildings:
Tumblr media
The RAD Building (GERA Building) is a 2,500 sqm Passivhaus certified research facility for the University of Nottingham, providing laboratory, office and support accommodation for the UK Government Energy Research Acceleration Initiative, known as the ‘RAD’ Building (Research Acceleration & Demonstration) on the Jubilee campus. The building achieves a BREEAM Excellent rating and includes extensive Passivhaus measures to reduce energy requirements. Aluprof’s high performance TT50 curtain wall & MB104 window and door systems have been used throughout the building offering very high levels of insulation. On completion the building has been extensively tested and has gained the coveted Passivhaus certification.
Tumblr media
Purdown View at University of Western England (UWE) Bristol, is a remarkable milestone in sustainable living, featuring more than 900 bedrooms distributed across three striking six-story buildings. With a total floor area of 21,000 sqm, Purdown View is distinguished as the largest certified Passivhaus development in the United Kingdom to date. It was designed by Stride Treglown and uses Aluprof’s high performance TT50 curtain wall & MB104 window and door systems, the project was fabricated and installed by DenvalCo.
Tumblr media
The Greenhaus project stands as the largest Passivhaus affordable housing initiative in the North West. The development was completed for the English Cities Fund (ECF), a collaborative effort involving Muse, Legal & General, and Homes England, in partnership with Salix Homes, a Housing Association in Salford, and with the support of Salford City Council. Greenhaus features 96 highly sustainable and affordable residences within a nine-storey structure located on Chapel Street in Salford. The project, designed by Buttress architects and constructed by Eric Wright Construction, has received official certification from the Passivhaus-Institut, the organisation dedicated to promoting and certifying this internationally recognised building standard.
Tumblr media
Voreda House in Penrith has undergone a significant transformation from its previous role as an NHS office to become the council's energy-efficient northern anchor building. This facility is notable for being the first retrofit office in the UK to achieve the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard, with projected energy savings of 85%. This initiative aligns with the council's dedication to minimising its carbon footprint and taking a leading role in the pursuit of carbon neutrality.
Tumblr media
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) undertakes groundbreaking research and maintains a Research Station located 67º south on Adelaide Island which was established in 1975. Known as Rothera, the busy station is used as a hub for other countries working in the area, offering a landing strip and wharf. The site has continued to develop over the years and in 2018 work began on the new Discovery Building, named to commemorate the discovery of Antarctica 200 years ago by the British naval officer Edward Bransfield in 1820. High thermal performance windows specified on the project have been provided by Aluprof. The MB-86 ST window and door system has been designed to offer outstanding insulation properties. Offered in three varieties, ST, SI and AERO the MB-86 was the first ever aluminium system to employ silica aerogel, a nano-porous material that has a very high proportion of free void volume compared to conventional solid materials. Aerogel’s high pore volume, low solid content, and its ‘torturous path amorphous structure’ offer very low values of thermal conductivity.

Dispositivo vestível de imagem cerebral mede atividade no cérebro de bebêsDestacando como os bebês respondem em situações do mundo real. Uma nova tecnologia que usa ondas de luz para medir a atividade no cérebro de bebês forneceu o quadro mais completo até o momento de funções como audição, visão e processamento cognitivo fora de um scanner cerebral convencional, em um novo estudo liderado por pesquisadores da UCL e Birkbeck. O capacete de imagem cerebral vestível encontrou atividade inesperada no córtex pré-frontal, uma área do cérebro que processa emoções em resposta a estímulos sociais, parecendo confirmar que os bebês começam a processar o que está acontecendo com eles em situações sociais já aos cinco meses de idade. 31 minutos atrás Nova abordagem do modelo de difusão resolve o problema da proporção de aspectoImagens estranhas de IA logo se tornarão coisa do passado. O novo método dos cientistas da computação da Rice University para gerar imagens com modelos de difusão pré-treinados, uma classe de modelos de IA generativos que "aprendem" adicionando camada após camada de ruído aleatório às imagens em que são treinados e, então, geram novas imagens removendo o ruído adicionado, pode ajudar a resolver o problema da proporção de aspecto. 31 minutos atrás Novo sistema de grupo sanguíneo descobertoEla resolve um mistério de 50 anos. Pesquisadores do NHS Blood and Transplant (Bristol), do International Blood Group Reference Laboratory (IBGRL) do NHSBT e da University of Bristol descobriram um novo sistema de grupo sanguíneo - MAL. O fenótipo herdado do grupo sanguíneo AnWj-negativo é causado pela homozigose para deleção no MAL, codificando a proteína mielina e linfócito. 31 minutos atrás Pequeno buraco negro oculto é encontrado em sistema binário incomumNo sistema binário G3425. Recentemente, cientistas chineses usaram métodos de velocidade radial e astrometria para descobrir um promissor buraco negro de lacuna de massa no sistema binário G3425. Ele tem uma massa de cerca de 3,6 vezes a do Sol, que pode variar de 3,1 a 4,4 vezes a do Sol. Como nenhuma luz vem de mais nada no sistema, esse companheiro escuro deve ser um buraco negro, com sua massa na faixa de "lacuna de massa". 31 minutos atrás Buracos negros supermassivos podem matar de fome suas galáxias hospedeirasEsta galáxia está essencialmente "morta". Usando o Telescópio Espacial James Webb da NASA/ESA, astrônomos confirmaram que buracos negros supermassivos podem matar de fome suas galáxias hospedeiras quando ficam sem combustível para formar novas estrelas. Uma equipe internacional, incluindo a Universidade de Cambridge, observou uma galáxia similar em tamanho à Via Láctea de cerca de dois bilhões de anos após o Big Bang. Esta galáxia tem um buraco negro supermassivo em seu centro, mas está "morta" porque parou de fazer novas estrelas. 31 minutos atrás O mecanismo por trás da organização espacial do DNA Em mamíferos, os embriões iniciais têm uma maneira única de organizar seus genes perto da lâmina nuclear, mas o processo ainda precisa ser totalmente compreendido. Cientistas do Kind Group descobriram novos detalhes sobre a organização do DNA em células embrionárias iniciais. Logo após a fertilização, cada célula pode se transformar em qualquer tipo de célula. Os pesquisadores estudaram como o DNA é organizado explicitamente durante esses estágios iniciais críticos do desenvolvimento. 31 minutos atrás Novas proteínas regulam membranas celularesO complexo do canal iônico desencadeia a mistura de lipídios. Cientistas do Instituto de Ciências Integradas de Células e Materiais da Universidade de Kyoto descobriram como as células controlam a distribuição de fosfolipídios em suas membranas. Esses lipídios, essenciais para a estabilidade celular, geralmente são espalhados de forma desigual e podem mudar rapidamente em resposta a sinais, um processo conhecido como embaralhamento de fosfolipídios.
Esse processo é crucial para funções como coagulação sanguínea e remoção de resíduos. 3 horas atrás Estudo revela fatos sobre a puberdade adolescente na era do geloAvaliação da puberdade em jovens europeus do Paleolítico Superior. Novas pesquisas mostram que os adolescentes da Era Glacial de 25.000 anos atrás passaram pela puberdade de forma muito parecida com os adolescentes de hoje. Um estudo de 13 humanos antigos com idades entre 10 e 20 anos, publicado no Journal of Human Evolution, encontrou marcadores ósseos que revelaram estágios da puberdade. Liderados por April Nowell da UVic, os pesquisadores usaram técnicas desenvolvidas por Mary Lewis para examinar o crescimento dos dentes e dos ossos. 3 horas atrás Dietas ricas em gordura e açúcar durante a gravidez aumentam os riscos futuros para a saúde dos bebêsDieta materna rica em gordura afeta o coração fetal em estudo com primatas. Bebês nascidos de mães obesas têm mais probabilidade de desenvolver problemas cardíacos e diabetes quando adultos. Pesquisas no Journal of Physiology mostram que uma dieta rica em gordura e açúcar durante a gravidez interrompe um hormônio tireoidiano essencial no coração fetal, impactando seu desenvolvimento. Mesmo com pesos médios ao nascer, esses bebês podem se tornar resistentes à insulina mais tarde, aumentando o risco de doenças cardíacas e diabetes. 3 horas atrás Nova técnica torna satélite de órbita baixa mais barato e simples de projetarUma simples mudança pode tornar os satélites em órbita baixa da Terra de alta capacidade Pesquisadores da Princeton Engineering e da Yang Ming Chiao Tung University em Taiwan inventaram uma técnica que permite que antenas de satélite de órbita baixa gerenciem sinais para vários usuários ao mesmo tempo, reduzindo drasticamente o hardware necessário. A estratégia se baseia em uma técnica comum para fortalecer as comunicações posicionando conjuntos de antenas para direcionar um feixe de ondas de rádio precisamente onde ele é necessário. 2 dias atrás Um deslizamento de terra causou um mega-tsunami na GroenlândiaIsso fez a Terra vibrar por nove dias Um deslizamento de terra em uma parte remota da Groenlândia causou um mega-tsunami que se deslocou para frente e para trás através de um fiorde por nove dias, gerando vibrações por toda a Terra, de acordo com um novo estudo envolvendo pesquisadores da UCL. O estudo concluiu que esse movimento de água foi a causa de um misterioso sinal sísmico global que durou nove dias e intrigou os sismólogos em setembro de 2023. 2 dias atrás Transformando simulação de ondas com o software TMATSOLVER Um novo pacote de software desenvolvido por pesquisadores da Macquarie University pode modelar com precisão a maneira como as ondas - som, água ou luz - são espalhadas quando encontram configurações complexas de partículas. Isso melhorará muito a capacidade de projetar rapidamente metamateriais - materiais artificiais interessantes usados ​​para amplificar, bloquear ou desviar ondas. 2 dias atrás
