A growing number of investors in the cryptoversum have seen their trading accounts suffer significant losses amid Bitcoin's sudden decline. At the time of writing, the main reasons behind the violent dump were Donald Trump's negative bias towards Bitcoin, as well as growing concerns that hackers are using the digital asset to launder money. For the day, about 149,015 crypto traders on the crypto derivatives market had their accounts worth about $ 1 billion temporarily deleted. The largest single liquidation order was on Bybit-ETH, valued at $ 7 million. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $ 32,784.55, down about 10% for the day.

He also compared Bitcoin to a scam and wants the crypto market to be heavily regulated. The former US presiden...

BHOPAL: Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal researchers invented a new technology that can deliver active molecules to specific sections of proteins. Scientists at IISER Bhopal have carried out studies on the “engineering” of protein molecules in recent years. Their serial technological breakthrough has gained in-depth insight into the chemical properties of these molecular machines. With this understanding, they developed the first modular platform for the precision mechanics of proteins. The chemical modification of proteins is essential for the understanding of protein functions and the development of therapeutics and diagnostics. The research team of the Departments of Chemistry and Biological Sciences at IISER Bhopal includes, among others, Dr. Vishal Rai, Dr. Ram Kumar Mishra, Dr. Sanjeev Shukla, Dr. Srinivasa Rao Adusumalli, Dr. Dattatraya Gautam Rawale and Dr. Neetu Kalra others who worked on this novel research.

Ian Lloyd from RAC explains why breakdown insurance is still relevant today, despite improvements in automotive technology, and what brokers need to consider when selecting products for their customers. With the Financial Conduct Authority's new Value Measure Ordinance set to be the next big thing since the Insurance Distribution Directive in 2018, it is more important than ever for brokers to ensure that the products they choose are relevant to their clients. It was inevitable that the ancillary market would come into the spotlight as products and underwriters in the area expanded and that some ancillary products offered customers little product value or were not what they needed. Relevant Good news; with almost 33 million cars on the United Kingdom On the road, breakdown insurance is still absolutely relevant in the brokerage sector. The most important consideration for brokers here is to choose their ancillary insurer carefully, as not all pro...

Photo of university relations Jin Hu, assistant professor of physics The US Department of Energy awarded Jin Hu, a physicist at U of A, a prestigious Early Career Research Program award to support his research on quantum topological materials, which have promising applications in information storage and quantum computing. The $ 750,000 award will be used to develop a better understanding of these materials, which exhibit novel electronic properties. The aim is to create new research directions and to set impulses for the use of quantum materials in new technologies. Topological quantum materials show dynamic electronic properties regardless of temperature shifts or changes in structural shape. Hu, an assistant professor of physics, will conduct research on crystal growth, characterization, and various measurements in high-field, low-temperat...

In the early 1980s, revisionists were shrouded in searing denunciations - from the right, but also from the left. A case in point was Seguín from 1982 by Chicano director Jesús Treviño, a public service biopic about Juan Seguín. "I was interested in telling the Chicano side of American history that both John Wayne and American textbooks ignored," said Treviño. "In Wayne's version, Mexicans are portrayed either as bandidos, dancing senoritas, sleeping drunks or fiery seductresses." Meanwhile, on the left, Acuña, who acted as the film's advisor, actually resigned because of Seguín's portrayal, calling him a traitor to Mexican Americans, and comparing his alliance with the Texans to that of the French Vichy government with the Nazis. Then came the big bang of Alamo revisionism. Released in 1990, the well-researched Duel of Eagles by Jeff Long was a screaming banzai indictment against everything John Wayne cared about. The tone was haunting and almost ...

Brazilian researchers have simultaneously demonstrated the mechanism that links high blood pressure with increased intracranial pressure, validated a non-invasive method of monitoring intracranial pressure, and proposed a treatment for high blood pressure that does not affect intracranial hypertension. The study was supported by FAPESP and involved a collaboration between researchers from São Paulo State University (UNESP) and Brain4care, a startup based in São Carlos. It could lead to novel treatments for intracranial hypertension and its complications, including stroke. The main results are reported in the journal Hypertension. The researchers monitored blood pressure and intracranial pressure in rats for six weeks. “We wanted to investigate what happened to the intracranial pressure during the time when the animals became hypertensive. We were the first to succeed in monitoring this process non-invasively by tracking changes in the shape of the intracranial pressure curve. ...
