The topic of hidden hunger, in particular if already mentioning rice, can’t get treated without mentioning Golden Rice. This is a genetically modified rice plant, that got manipulated for making it produce pro-vitamin A (a carotene), which gives a yellowish color to the peeled rice grains. Thus is advertised for genetically modified organisms and this […]
Oodaigahara is asteroid #11151 and also known as 1997 YZ2. Oodaigahara measures 8.8 km in diameter and is a member of the Hirayama-family Eunomia. Oodaigahara’s orbit is characterized by a semi-major axis of 2.60 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.12, a period of revolution of 1’534 days, and an inclination of 12.2 degrees. Oodaigahara was […]
The update, about which I’ve been talking, sees the cause of hidden hunger in new plant breeds. I had so far made over-fertilizing of fields with nitrogen responsible. This enables plants to grow lusher and more lavish. Yet they also need more minerals this way and so deplete the soil this way. The update makes […]
In the years after the Second World War, the people of Germany didn’t want to make similar experiences again, so became Pacifist, so didn’t want to have armed forces again. Germany’s neighbors also would have preferred if Germany wouldn’t raise armed forces again. But the German government wanted armed forces. The Korea War served as […]
If you treat plants with vitamin B1 (thiamine), then they, according what I recently learnt, become more resistant against aridity. The vitamins C, E, and of the B complex shall in general reduce the stress, which plants suffer due to aridity, salt, and flooding. So vitamins are necessary not only for humans. If plants are […]
Already objects of 1 cm diameter in the orbits around Earth are hazardous to satellites and space exploration. So nations, that research space, better track space debris. France can track objects of at least 60 cm in diameter, the USA and Germany can track objects of a minimum of 10 cm in diameter. So making […]
A science news article, which I recently read, gave me an update on what happened during the last decades since I studied the subject, which has been the topic of that article. It first defines hidden hunger as a deficit in the vitamins B2, B9 (folic acid), C, or E or the minerals calcium, iron, […]
Today is a peculiar fancy holiday. It belongs to the awareness days, to the health-themed fancy holidays, and to the German fancy holidays. It’s the day of the cooling water legionella and of cooling water hygiene. Fenja Woltering and Jens Habersaat from WESSLING GmbH (a company specialized in laboratory testings) in 2023 contacted the author […]
Martin Armstrong wrote: “The United States has spent years watching the line between military equipment and civilian policing gradually disappear.” He thinks this is a very bad development. I disagree. He complains: “Armored vehicles once reserved for combat zones now appear in small-town police departments.” Well, here the USA are taking the opposite direction as Europe, […]
Politicians often promise to solve problems. Yet amidst the problems are many, which politicians even don’t understand. They naturally are unable to solve problems this way. Politicians for example think that Muslims would hate queers. Besides being unable to distinguish between Muslims, who are defined as creatures created by God, and followers of the Prophet […]
