The age of blood stains says more about the crime
Bern (ots) - The composition of blood stains changes over the course of weeks and months. Forensic medicine hopes to make use of this fact in future to convict suspects - or to prove their innocence. The blood-stained paper lay on the roof terrace for almost a year, protected from the rain but otherwise exposed to the elements. Fortunately it wasn't evidence of a violent crime; no, the drops of blood were part of a ...

Mosquitoes prefer cooler temperatures
Bern (ots) - Mosquitoes have thermal preferences. This is an important parameter to better predict outbreaks of diseases transmitted by these insects.

The entomologist from the University of Zurich summarises the results of the experiment he ...

However, plans to increase wind and solar electricity generation could increase conflicts. Around 185 hectares of forest - equivalent to 260 football pitches - are cleared in Switzerland each year. This is not due to felling or storm damage, but to create space for roads, mobile phone masts, drinking water catchment installations, gravel pits and other ...
