Riley Nelson lab in 2006, is being expanded to include aquatic invertebrates from North America west of the Mississippi River. The project aims to enhance the educational content about the orders, families, and genera of invertebrates, making it a more comprehensive learning tool for students, particularly those in Bio 100 classes at Brigham Young University.
Proptech Decoded – Pulling the chain on traditional land registration?
HM Land Registry is exploring the use of blockchain technology as part of its Digital Street project to enhance land registration. Blockchain offers advantages such as increased security, faster transactions, and cost savings.

How often should you change your password?
Changing passwords frequently is often recommended but can make accounts more vulnerable. Instead, using strong, unique passwords and changing them only when necessary, such as after a data breach, is more effective. Tools like 1Password and its Watchtower feature help manage and monitor passwords securely, reducing the need for frequent changes.
Sleep Differences in Firefighters: Barracks vs. Home
The study investigates sleep quality differences in firefighters when sleeping in barracks versus at home, using polysomnography. Results indicate that firefighters experience poorer sleep quality and disrupted sleep architecture, particularly in the barracks, due to factors like rotating shifts and occupational stress. Significant differences were found in cortical arousals, autonomic activations, and spindle duration between the two environments. The study highlights the need for interventions to improve sleep conditions for firefighters, suggesting potential measures like environmental adjustments and lifestyle changes.

Smart Solutions for Smart Cities
Smart cities will revolutionize urban living, impacting real estate trends, building design, and space utilization. The rise of remote work and AI will reduce traditional office space demand, while retail spaces will focus more on customer experience. Parking needs will decline with driverless cars and car sharing. Real estate transactions will evolve with real-time data, peer-to-peer lending, and blockchain technology, which promises faster, transparent, and fraud-resistant processes. The Land Registry is testing blockchain for instant property ownership transfers, indicating a shift towards smarter legal solutions for urban environments.
