Asian children are less susceptible to constipation – except for Taiwanese children |
點閱次數: 240 |
| Child or adult, nearly everyone knows what it feels like to be “a little backed up,” so to speak. Assistant Professor Ngan Thi Kim Nguyen from the NTNU Programs of Nutrition Science has conducted in-depth research on the prevalence of constipation among Asian children and its related factors.

The Shifting Shadow of M87*: A New Key to Understanding Black Hole Environments |
點閱次數: 265 |
| Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has deepened our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 (M87*). This study opens a new window into multi-year analysis at horizon scales by leveraging a new simulation image library with more than 120,000 additional images compared to the last one. The team confirmed that M87*’s black hole rotational axis points away from Earth and demonstrated that turbulence within the accretion disk — rotating gas around the black hole — plays an important role in explaining the observed shift in the ring’s brightness peak compared to 2017. The findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, mark a major step forward in unraveling the complex dynamics of black hole environments.more |
