[ad_1] STOCKHOLM: Researchers discovered that Covid epidemic shutdowns in South Asia significantly reduced the number of short-lived cooling particles in the air while having no effect on the concentration of long-lived greenhouse gases. Researchers were thus able to demonstrate how lower air pollution emissions lead to cleaner air and faster global warming. The study was published in the journal, 'Climate and Atmospheric Science'. It is well known that emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides, as well as other air pollutants, cause the formation of aerosols (particles) in the air, which can offset or mask the full climate warming caused by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. However, this masking effect' has received little attention. Large-scale experiments involving vast areas would be required to determine the size, which is impractical. The Covid pandemic became such a 'natural' experiment. Due to pandemic restrictions, many industries

[ad_1] Craig Warga | Bloomberg | Getty Images Manhattan apartment sales fell by 29% in the fourth quarter, sparking fears of a frozen market in which buyers and sellers stay on the sidelines due to economic and rate fears. There were 2,546 sales in the quarter, down from 3,560 last year, according to a report from Douglas Elliman and Miller Samuel. The decline was the largest since the third quarter of 2020, during the depths of the pandemic. Prices also declined for the first time since early 2020, with the median price down 5.5%.

[ad_1] WASHINGTON: Scientists are harnessing a new way to turn cancer cells into potent, anti-cancer agents, according to a study. According to the study, investigators have developed a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumours and induce long-term immunity, training the immune system so that it can prevent cancer from recurring. In the latest work from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the team of researchers tested their dual-action, cancer-killing vaccine in an advanced mouse model of the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, with promising results, said the study.

[ad_1] In this file photo taken on April 12, 2011, the Bank of Canada building in Ottawa. — AFP OTTAWA: The Bank of Canada on Wednesday became the first major central bank to pause its aggressive monetary policy in recent months, holding its key lending rate at 4.5% as inflation eased, after eight consecutive rate increases. The anticipated move puts the central bank at odds with the Federal Reserve in the United States, which has indicated that more rate hikes will be needed to cool its overheated economy and rein in inflation. In a statement, the bank noted that the Canadian economy has slowed, as hoped — marked by unexpected zero growth last quarter — but said it was prepared to resume increasing costs of borrowing if needed to reach its 2% inflation target. The current rate is at its highest level since 2007. In a research note, Desjardins analyst Royce Mendes said the bank's "conditional commitment to keep rates on hold will place a magnifying glass on the
