A single sweaty workout may boost some people’s memory

According to a preliminary study, people are able to improve their thinking abilities after a 20 minute workout. Michelle Voss, a cognitive neuroscientist, had 34 people with an average age of 67 undergo brain scans, memory tests, and exercises. Voss and her colleagues were looking for effects of a 20-minute stint on a stationary bike which is designed to make people sweat. Before and after exercises the participants took memory scans and MRI brain scans that involved remembering previous faces they have seen. They also did brain tests another day after the participants spent 20 minutes on a bike that pedaled for them. On average, people were able to remember more faces after an intense workout. I think this is a very interesting experiment and something i definitely would like to learn more about. I never realized working out could influence your memories.

    That's really interesting. I wonder if exercising daily will help with memory in the long term.

    I guess I will have to start exercising more! I wonder why your memory does increase due to sweating? Strange.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
