Our preliminary work suggests that the reach of the heat island effect is too small for a solar power plant to affect local homes. We should, though, consider the fact that solar panels become less efficient as they warm, so in a way, the heat island effect could actually be negatively impacting their production. I see this as encouragement to investigate mitigation potentials more than a cause Switzerland Mobile Number List for moving away from solar.A study released in Current Biology found that bonobos’ eyesight becomes significantly reduced when they reach around 40 years of age. We talk to the study’s lead author, Heungjin Ryu, to find out why his discovery is a sign that we have even more in common with our primate relatives than we previously thought. ResearchGate: How would you sum up your main findings? Heungijn Ryu: We found that wild bonobos began to show symptoms of long-sightedness at around 40 years of age. We were surprised that the pattern found in bonobos is strikingly similar to the pattern found in modern humans. This suggests that senescence of the eyes has not changed much from our Pan-Homo common ancestor, even though the longevity of the modern human is far longer than that of chimpanzees and bonobos. RG: What led you to consider whether bonobos become long-sighted with age? Ryu: The fact that older bonobos require longer distances for grooming was already well-known among researchers at Wamba, however we hadn’t paid much attention to it.
