50 years of TUCO
In 1974, Hoogendoorn introduced the world’s very first climate computer for the greenhouse industry, called TUCO. This revolutionary system marked a milestone in the sector by being the first computer to manage greenhouse climates—a groundbreaking innovation that transformed horticulture worldwide. Now, fifty years later, Hoogendoorn continues to lead the way in technology and sustainability with its latest product: IIVO, the most advanced climate computer available today.
How to plant spring flowering bulbs
#ad
Knowing how to plant spring flowering bulbs correctly, is an autumn task that will pay long-term dividends.
In this video, I'll show you the techniques I employ to grow flower bulbs and the garden tools that make this job easier.
From how to plant bulbs in the ground and how to layer/lasagna plant bulbs into a container. So no matter the amount of space you have, you can enjoy flowering plants.

Secrets of horse genetics for conservation, breeding
<div>Researchers are helping uncover new information about the Y chromosome in horses, which will help owners identify optimal lineages for breeding and help conservationists preserve breed diversity.</div>
Populations overheat as major cities fail canopy goals
<div>A new study measuring access to nature for eight major global cities found most still have inadequate canopy cover, despite access to an abundance of trees.</div>
Labeling cell particles with barcodes
Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The particles, known as small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), play an important role in the spread of disease and as potential drug carriers. The newly developed system, named CIBER, enables thousands of genes to be studied at once, by labeling sEVs with a kind of RNA 'barcode.' With this, researchers h
Vultures and artificial intelligence(s) as death detectors: High-tech approach for wildlife research and conservation
<div>In order to use remote locations to record and assess the behavior of wildlife and environmental conditions, the GAIA Initiative developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that reliably and automatically classifies behaviors of white-backed vultures using animal tag data. As scavengers, vultures always look for the next carcass. With the help of tagged animals and a second AI algorithm, the scientists can now automatically locate carcasses across vast landscapes.</div>
How children learned for 99% of human history
Unlike kids in the United States, hunter-gatherer children in the Congo Basin have often learned how to hunt, identify edible plants and care for babies by the tender age of six or seven. This rapid learning is facilitated by a unique social environment where cultural knowledge is passed down not just from parents but from the broader community. The research helps explain how many cultural traits have been preserved for thousands of years among hunter-gatherer groups across a wide range of natur
Building roots in glass, a bio-inspired approach to creating 3D microvascular networks using plants and fungi
<div>Researchers have developed a new bio-inspired approach to building complex 3D microfluidic networks by utilizing plant roots and fungal hyphae as molds. The team grew plants and fungi in nanoparticles of silica, then baked out the plants and solidified the glass. What remains is glass with micrometer-sized networks where the roots used to be.</div>
Will agricultural weeds finally claim the upper hand in a changing climate?
<div>A few years back, a group of weed scientists showed that soil-applied herbicides are less effective against agricultural weeds in the context of our changing climate. Now, the same research group has shown the same is true of post-emergence (POST) herbicides.</div>
How cells habituate
<div>Up until recently, habituation -- a simple form of learning -- was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals. But a new study offers compelling evidence that even tiny single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae, as well as the cells in our own bodies, could exhibit habituation akin to that seen in more complex organisms with brains.</div>
Eradivir's EV25 therapeutic reduces advanced-stage influenza viral loads faster, more thoroughly in preclinical studies than current therapies
<div>A research article shows that Eradivir's patent-pending antiviral therapeutic called EV25 reduces lung viral loads of advanced-stage influenza in preclinical studies quicker and more effectively than currently available therapies.</div>
Researchers use biophysics to design new vaccines against RSV and related respiratory viruses
<div>In most people, the lung-infecting pathogens known as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) trigger mild cold-like symptoms. But in infants and seniors, these viruses can cause severe pneumonia and even death. Vaccines against both viruses, however, have been difficult to design. Now, scientists have analyzed the structure and stability of a critical RSV and hMPV protein to better design vaccines that target it.</div>
Farm inheritance tax: farmers cannot go green if they are in the red
In villages across the country, irate farmers have accused the government of trying to end the tradition of the family farm by scrapping agricultural property relief, a measure which previously sheltered farms from having to pay inheritance tax on farmland.
Since Brexit a consensus has emerged that farmers should have to produce public goods in order to receive public payments. These “goods” include enhanced biodiversity, which could oblige farmers to plant trees or wildflower meadows.

Legionnaires’ Disease, an Illness of Affluence
It started with a sudden outbreak of illness at a Philadelphia hotel in 1976. The victims were overwhelmingly American Legion member, who were gathered for an annual conference, that year swelled by Bicentennial fervor. The party screeched to a halt as dozens of attendees were sickened.
As George Dehner describes in his article on the history of the disease, “the affliction, dubbed Legionnaires’ disease in commemoration of its 29 unlucky fatal victims and their 153 stricken colleagues, struck su
