More than 5 thousand new viruses have been discovered in the sea

A team of international researchers has discovered more than 5 thousand and 5 hundred new strains of the virus in the world's oceans after taking measurements of about 35 thousand kinds of water in different continents.

 

The research team focused on looking at RNA-related viruses known as RNA due to the fact that so far scientists have not known much about this species compared to what has already been known about common mutants known as DNA.

 

The current study also focused on computer-aided analysis of the phylum virus, which researchers have dubbed Taraviricota and Matthew Sullivan of the University of Ohio, who led the study says that these viruses have been found throughout the oceans, which have implications for the biodiversity network.

 

Researchers say that the discovery of Traviricota was a significant step forward in a study that was previously conducted on viruses linked to the RNA virus, which has been known for billions of years to build.

 

The results of the study are also expected to provide a new line of knowledge about these viruses in the biological network in general.

Did you know Motorboat noise makes fish bad parents, leading to the death of their babies?

Image
Noise from motorboats is making fish become bad parents, and reducing the chance of their young surviving, research led by marine experts at the University of Exeter has shown. The sound of motorboat engines disturbed coral reef fish so acutely that it changed the behavior of parents and stopped male fish from properly guarding their young, feeding, and interacting with their offspring.   The research, which involved playing recordings of natural reef noise or intermittent motorboat noise around 38 fish nests over 12 days, found that the death rates of baby fish exposed to boat engine noise increased significantly, with six of the 19 boat-noise nests suffering complete mortality.   The Exeter University-led team of marine biologists says that noise from boats is a ’global pollutant’, distracting fish and making them unable to properly protect their young from predators.   They believe motorboat noise should be factored in when trying to protect fish stocks ...

How to identify a liar

Image
A study published in the journal Frontier Psychology on Human Psychology, based on a study by Norbert Wiener, showed how one can identify someone who is lying to him or her by using mathematics.   This study highlights how human beings change their mind in the event of a choice between different things, a change in mind that can be caused by a small amount of information, a person's pre-decision analysis, and how it determines a person's behavior.   A person's mental state is related to the information he or she has before making a decision. When one has enough information one can easily make the choice. For example, before buying something, one first seeks out information and then tries to ask the user and others which gives him or her enough information to make the right decision.   This was echoed by mathematician Thomas Bayes, who says that a person who thinks well first weighs a lot of options before making a decision.   Bayes argues that all a p...
