Árvores que resistem a incêndios?

Ciprestes:
http://www.bbc.com/portuguese/noticias/2015/09/150901_ciprestes_misterio_incendio_rm

Citando:
"O novo estudo demonstra a resistência do cipreste-mediterrânico (Cupressus sempervirens) ao fogo e sugere o uso potencial dele como barreira para os incêndios devastadores que afetam a região mediterrânea.

Mais de 269 mil incêndios, a maioria causados por ação humana, foram reportados entre 2006 e 2010 na região, resultando em mais de dois milhões de hectares de florestas destruídas, segundo a FAO (Organização da ONU para Alimentação e Agricultura)."

Testes da Coreia do Norte e alterações na montanha

http://www.smh.com.au/world/after-six-tests-the-mountain-hosting-north-koreas-nuclear-blasts-may-be-exhausted-20171021-gz5ixm.html

Citando:
"Images captured by Airbus, a space technology company that makes earth observation satellites, showed the mountain literally moving during the test. An 85-acre area on the peak of Mount Mantap visibly subsided during the explosion, an indication of both the size of the blast and the weakness of the mountain."

Mortes

Citando:
"To do so, they examined individuals who suffered cardiac arrest, but were later revived. The scientists noted that death was defined by when the heart stops and blood stops flowing to the brain.

During the evaluation, many patients were able to recall full conversations and visuals, and in some cases, participants even reported hearing they had been pronounced dead. 

"They'll describe watching doctors and nurses working; they'll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them," lead author Sam Parnia told Live Science.

Scientists confirmed the patients’ stories with doctors and nurses present at the time of death, and were stunned to hear what the subjects remembered.

Why is there still brain activity after death?

Brain death is a process. It takes up to 20 seconds before brain waves are no longer detectable. Once they aren’t, a set of cellular processes take place that eventually result in brain death. And this could occur hours after the heart has stopped, Parnia said. 

"If you manage to restart the heart, which is what CPR attempts to do, you'll gradually start to get the brain functioning again. The longer you're doing CPR, those brain cell death pathways are still happening — they're just happening at a slightly slower rate," he said.

The scientists are now expanding their ongoing experiment, which will be the largest of its kind, to investigate the occurrences of consciousness after death and how it may affect the rest of a person’s life if they are revived."

HPV e cancro em homens

Por exposição via... Sexo oral?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/men-who-perform-oral-sex-11374449

Citando:
"Men who perform oral sex on their partners have a high risk of contracting a rare form of mouth or throat cancer, according to new research.

Smokers who have had more than five sexual partners are at even greater risk of developing the cancer triggered by the human papilloma virus (HPV) - which is the main cause of cervical cancer.
Two HPV types (16 and 18) cause 70% of cervical cancers and precancerous cervical lesions, according to the World Health Organisation."
