Scientist may be on a universal flu vaccine

        In a new study there might be a universal flu vaccine called Flu-v. Flu v caused the immune system to respond better than a placebo. This vaccine is in its final stage of testing after a small trial 175 volunteers worked.  Before the flu seasons the race to predict what strand and the development of that strands vaccine to help prevent the spreed of that type of strand. The way that the fl- v works it that it is designed to target common areas of  multiple strands of the flu. The Flu- v went through 4 test to see if it is a safe and effective way to help prevent the spreed of the flu and this prevention can also be manufactured all year round.


          In my opinion this seems to be a very good solution to the flu but my only though is what if the flu were to mutate aging and this solution is no longer effective. Another thing that is that this is only to certain strands of the flu if the certain thing is that what is the strand would to change to one that doesn't work with this one.

    I think this is a really good idea, especially due to the flu becoming stronger and different strands of it forming among the recent years. Similar to your thought process, I also would just be concerned that that this virus would mutate faster, and then a new vaccine would have to be formed. The only question I have is what is the main difference between the flu-v vaccine and the normal flu vaccine.

    I think having a vaccine for most common strands of the flu is important, but what is the difference between guessing what flu strands will be present that year and only protecting against the four common strands? These both are ineffective ways to vaccinate against the flu, and I think that, although an issue, our vaccines must be improved more to protect against this virus.

    This is definitely a great idea and if can successfully be done is a great thing for all people to be protected, but it is easy for these strands to mutate ultimately becoming ineffective. I can't understand or see what would be the difference from the tools we have now to block the flu.

    I definable hope this can be implemented on a large scale if it works out. However, I agree with your concerns about strains of the flu mutating and making a vaccine ineffective. Another solution to this problem would be making the process of creating vaccines faster, instead of a universal cure.

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
