Australia cancels Lockheed Martin military satellite project

The Australian Ministry of Defense has canceled a multibillion-dollar military satellite project with Lockheed Martin. Instead of a single-orbit system, the country will focus on developing a multi-orbit system to improve defense capabilities.

Australia has canceled a multibillion-dollar military satellite project with Lockheed Martin (LMT.N). According to a statement from the country's Ministry of Defense, the military will instead shift its focus to a multi-orbital system. UNN writes about this with reference to Reuters.

Details

The project to launch a single-orbit satellite with Lockheed Martin, which was supposed to provide Australia's first satellite communications system with sovereign control over the Indo-Pacific Ocean, was canceled.

Due to the accelerated development of space technology and the evolution of threats in space since the project began, the Ministry of Defense assessed that a single-orbit geostationary satellite communications system would not meet strategic priorities

– the Australian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

Instead, Australia will prefer a multi-orbital system to increase the resilience of the Australian armed forces.

In a radio interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that while Australia's defense budget is growing, his government is prioritizing its procurement.

Russia has opened a “department of European problems” to work with the EU

The Russian Foreign Ministry has changed the name of the Department for Pan-European Cooperation to the Department for European Affairs.

Russia has created a new government department to work with the EU and NATO: The Department of European Problems, UNN writes with reference to Politico.

Details

According to Russian media, this unit already existed in the Russian Foreign Ministry, but was previously called the Department of Pan-European Cooperation before being renamed last week to the "much more spicy" Department of European Problems.

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, told local media that the name change reflects "changing geopolitical realities," including "the obvious degradation of multilateral cooperation structures in Europe.

Addendum

Russia's relations with Europe, Politico notes , have been in a deep freeze since Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. The EU has imposed sweeping sanctions on the Kremlin, seizing Russian assets and pledging support for Ukraine.

In March 2022, Moscow announced its withdrawal from the Council of Europe, and in July of this year it suspended its participation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Liverpool, Man City or Arsenal? Shearer makes fresh PL title prediction as Lineker, Richards chime in

Alan Shearer has revealed who he thinks will win the Premier League title after predicting Arsenal ahead of Man City and Liverpool before the start of the season.

The Gunners have only taken one point from their last three Premier League matches against Bournemouth, Liverpool and Newcastle.

Mikel Arteta’s side have dropped down to fifth in the Premier League table after being many pundits’ tips to win the title before the start of the new campaign.

Liverpool were written off by many, after Jurgen Klopp left the club at the end of last season, with Arne Slot taking over.

But it is the Reds who lead the Premier League standings with Slot guiding them to eight wins from their opening ten matches.

Liverpool are currently one point ahead of defending champions Man City – who occupy second place – and seven points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest and Chelsea are third and fourth respectively but Shearer still thinks it is between Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal for the title this term.

Shearer said on The Rest is Football podcast: “I would still say the favourites are Man City, but it’s close.

“Liverpool have been much better than I thought they would be. I didn’t think they’d be challenging but they are, there’s no doubt about that. I don’t think they’re going to go away.

“I’ve been disappointed with Arsenal and I tipped them before the season started. You’d still say Man City are just favourites because they’ve been around the block.”

Responding to Shearer’s title race claims, former England striker Gary Lineker gave his opinion, he said: “I think I agree. City have been there, done it four times on the bounce now.

“You wonder if that will catch up with them at some point because it’s so difficult to keep having that absolute drive that gets them over the line.

“I would say they’re still favourites. I backed them at the start of the season and I wouldn’t change my mind now.

“Liverpool are genuine title contenders and I think that’s been a surprise. Following in the enormous shoes of Jurgen Klopp was always going to be difficult but Slot looks like a perfect fit.”

And former Man City and England right-back Micah Richards also gave his take, he continued: “I would still go with Man City just because of what’s happened in the past. I would still say they’re favourites, just.”

For the first time, researchers have traced the formation of amyloids associated with Alzheimer’s disease with unprecedented accuracy

Empa researchers visualized the process of amyloid β protein accumulation in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease. The observation lasted 250 hours and showed how second-generation fibrils are formed.

Empa researchers have recently been able to visualize the “abnormal” accumulation of amyloid β proteins in the brain, a process associated with Alzheimer's disease. Scientists hope that the result will open up new methods of diagnosing the disease.

Writes UNN with reference to Science Daily.

Alzheimer's disease affects more than 55 million people worldwide. Treatment of such disorders is still one of the biggest challenges facing modern medicine. The accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain plays a significant role in the development of the disease.

Misfolded proteins stick together to form fiber-like structures. However, it was not yet entirely clear how these fibrils are formed.

Alcohol consumption is widespread in nature, as almost all ecosystems have ethanol – studyOctober 30 2024, 10:54 AM • 108963 views

Recently, a team led by Empa researcher Peter Nirmalraj from the Empa Transport at Nanoscale Interfaces lab and scientists from the University of Limerick in Ireland were able to show how this process works using a particularly powerful visualization technique.

ExplanationExplanation

The focus is on the processes observed on the surface of amyloid fibrils, i.e. structures in the brain formed by oligomers – soluble proteins that are highly toxic to neurons and assemble into dense fibers. Scientists have identified a special subtype of superproliferator proteins among them.

For reference

Aβ42 is considered to be one of the main factors that trigger Alzheimer's disease.

Incorrectly folded proteins lead to the formation of new oligomers on the surface of existing fibrils during secondary nucleation (when mature fibrils catalyze the formation of new oligomers).

Aβ is formed from a larger transmembrane precursor protein (beta-amyloid precursor, PBA) with a molecular weight of 100-140 kDa, which performs trophic and protective functions.

Infectious disease specialist Golubovskaya spoke about the Marburg virus and the risks of its spread outside AfricaOctober 8 2024, 12:55 PM • 129870 views

According to the “amyloid hypothesis,” beta-amyloid forms neurotoxic soluble oligomers for reasons that are not fully understood. According to numerous studies, beta-amyloid aggregates, including oligomers, have a detrimental effect on nerve cells, disrupting their normal functioning. This creates conditions for the development of Alzheimer's disease.

What the new observation achieves

The mechanism of how the protein building blocks come together to form second-generation fibrils, as well as their shape and structure, were previously unclear.

Recent imaging brings us one step closer to a better understanding of how these proteins are distributed in Alzheimer's brain tissue.

The researchers were able to observe the process of fibril formation in real time, from the first moments to the next 250 hours. This was made possible by a new technique: proteins are analyzed unchanged in saline, which is much closer to the natural conditions of the human body.

“This work brings us one step closer to better understanding how these proteins are distributed in Alzheimer's brain tissue,” says Nirmalraj, an Empa researcher. He hopes this will eventually lead to new ways of diagnosing the disease.

Oil prices rise after OPEC+ decision to postpone production increase – Reuters

OPEC+ postponed the increase in oil production for a month, which led to a rise in Brent and WTI prices by more than $1. The market is awaiting the US elections and the Fed's interest rate meeting.

On Monday, oil prices rose by more than $1 after OPEC+ decided to postpone its production increase for a month. This happened as the market prepared for events such as the US presidential election and an important meeting in China.

Writes UNN with reference to Reuters.

Brent rose in price by $1.39 to $74.49 per barrel, while US WTI rose by $1.41 to $70.90 per barrel. On Sunday, OPEC+ announced that it would extend its production cuts by 2.2 million barrels per day for another month in December. Previously, they planned to increase production by 180 thousand barrels per day from December, but postponed it due to low prices and weak demand.

ING analysts noted that although the one-month postponement does not change the situation much, it may indicate OPEC+'s willingness to support prices.

Last week, Brent and WTI oil prices declined due to high US production, but on Friday they rose slightly due to reports of a possible Iranian strike on Israel. Some analysts doubt whether this growth will continue, as previous rises due to similar news quickly faded.

It is expected that prices will remain at the current level, although they may encounter resistance around $78.50. This week, markets are also looking ahead to the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve meeting, where interest rates may be cut.

Recall

Last week, oil prices rose by more than $1 per barrel after reports that Iran was preparing a retaliatory strike against Israel.

Top Real Madrid, Bayern target ‘chooses’ Man City as ‘next destination’ as Guardiola opts to ‘continue’

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Florian Wirtz has chosen to join Premier League side Man City in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The Citizens have made a good start to the new season as they look to defend their Premier League crown after pipping Arsenal to the title on the final day of last season.

Man City won their fourth Premier League title in a row last term with Pep Guardiola already going down as one of the best managers the English top flight has ever seen.

Guardiola’s contract is up in the summer and there have been rumours that he could leave for a new challenge or a sabbatical.

The 115 charges hanging over Man City relating to alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial fair play rules have not helped clarity on Guardiola’s future.

There were some reports last week that Guardiola had made a decision to stay on as manager at the Etihad Stadium but there is still some uncertainty over his future.

Another report over the weekend claimed that Guardiola has demanded the signing of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Wirtz in order to ‘continue’ as Man City boss beyond this season, amid concerns that Kevin de Bruyne will leave in the summer.

The Germany international was key part of Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen side which won the Bundesliga last term and Wirtz has been in good form again this term with seven goals and one assist in 12 Bundesliga and Champions League matches.

And it now looks as if Guardiola will stay as Wirtz has apparently ‘chosen’ Man City as his ‘next destination’ with ‘many clubs are keeping a close eye on the German midfielder’.

Man City are said to be ‘winning the race for the young German talent’ and the Citizens are now ‘determined to make an offer in excess of €100m to take him to the Premier League’.

It is understood European giants Real Madrid and Bayern Munich ‘have also shown interest, the player’s preference seems to lean towards the Premier League and Manchester City in particular’.

Wirtz claimed in the summer that he doesn’t have a timeline on when he could leave Bayer Leverkusen and potentially join one of the European heavyweights.

He told Kicker in the summer: “I don’t have a timetable, so I don’t even have an idea in my head as far as that’s concerned.

“I’m just really happy to be back playing football after the summer break. Right now I’m just trying to achieve my goals with the team. Then we’ll see what happens at some point – but I don’t have a timetable.”
