One day the banana is perfect. Bright yellow, firm, flavorful. But even within that same day brown spots appear on your perfectly ripe banana, its flesh turns mushy, and it’s destined for the compost or at best, banana bread. But scientists are developing a way to --1-- the life of ripe bananas. It’s a spray-on coating made from chitosan—a substance found in crab and shrimp shells. The new gel can be --2-- on bananas to slow the ripening process by up to 12 days. Like other fruits bananas remain alive after being picked and it actually continues to respire. This means that they take in --3-- and release carbon dioxide. The more the banana --4-- the faster it ripens and then rots. Bananas ripen more quickly than most fruit because they don’t naturally slow the --5-- after being picked, in fact it speeds up, causing bananas to become mushy. Chitosan not only kills the --6-- on banana’s skin that then leads to rot, it also --7-- slows down the respiration in the first place. So bananas won’t drive you bananas. #LFIB_226 #Apeuni_prediction @Iran_pte_house

So two decades later, what's changed? It's now widely recognized that just 20 percent of health --1-- are tied to medical care, whereas up to 70 percent are tied to healthy behaviors and what's called the social --2-- of health — basically, everything that happens to us for that vast --3-- of time when we're not in the doctor's office or the hospital. Health care --4-- now routinely remind us that our zip code matters more than our genetic code. And one health care publication even recently had the --5-- to describe the social determinants of health as "the feel-good buzzword of the year". #LFIB_224 #Apeuni_prediction @Iran_pte_house

You might picture Neanderthals as cavemen gnawing on bones around a campfire. Which wouldn’t be --1-- But Neanderthals may have also dined on roasted vegetables and known a bit about medicinal plants too. So says a study in the journal Naturwissenschaften (The Science of Nature). Researchers --2-- hardened dental plaque from five Neanderthals found in El Sidrón cave, in northern Spain. Yes, 50,000-year-old dental plaque. And they found a lot lurking between the teeth. Like evidence of nuts, grasses and green veggies, --3-- traces of wood smoke, and tiny, intact starch granules, proof Neanderthals ate their carbs. And in one individual, they detected compounds found in the --4-- herbs chamomile and yarrow. The herbs have no nutritional value, and since Neanderthals did have the gene to detect the herbs’ bitter taste, the researchers --5-- that the cave dwellers were munching on them not as food—but to self-medicate. Not too far-fetched, they say, because primates like chimps also use medicinal plants. Luckily for the scientists doing this --6-- work, Neanderthals may have known a thing or two about medicine, but they didn’t get --7-- check-ups at the dentist. #LFIB_165 #Apeuni_prediction @Iran_pte_house

There are some 250 million cars in America, 250 million cars in the country with just over 300 million people. And most of those vehicles, of course, are gas --1-- . This poses a huge challenge given the limited supplies of oil and the growing --2-- of the global warming crisis. But there is good news, according to our guests today. And that is we have the know-how and the technology to build --3-- , fast automobiles that don't use gasoline. These vehicles of tomorrow are powered by --4-- , electricity, bio-fuels, and digital technology. And they already exist. So what's --5-- us from putting them on the roads? Our guests today will help answer that. #LFIB_125 #Apeuni_prediction @Iran_pte_house

The world's fifth largest continent: Antarctica is almost entirely covered by ice 2000 meters thick. The area sustains varied wildlife including seals, whales, and penguins. The Antarctic treaty signed in 1959 and enforced since 1961 provides for international governance of Antarctica. #RA #Apeuni_prediction #Apeuni_710 ——————————————————— 🎖Together we persevere, Together we can 🎖 @Iran_pte_house

Main Ideas: •Galileo's telescopes •the Dutch telescopes •making a much more powerful version •astronomy / the study of astronomy •remaining under the spell of Aristotle •all celestial objects and the stars •perfect and immutable spheres •making a journey around our stationary Earth •Galileo's frustration •maintaining and reforming the calendar •making horoscopes Sample Answer: Although Galileo's telescopes can perceive the Dutch telescopes as making a much more powerful version, astronomy could associate remaining under the spell of Aristotle with all celestial objects and the stars because of perfect and immutable spheres; moreover, making a journey around our stationary Earth may derive Galileo's frustration from maintaining and reforming the calendar as well as making horoscopes.
