    Climate change and suppression tactics are critical factors increasing fires

    Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:00 AM
    The millions of people affected by 2020’s record-breaking and deadly fires can attest to the fact that wildfire hazards are increasing across western North America.
    Both climate change and forest management have been blamed, but the relative influence of these drivers is still heavily debated. The results of a recent study show that in some ecosystems, human-caused climate change is the predominant factor; in other places, the trend can also be attributed to a century of fire suppression that has produced dense, unhealthy forests.

    A new tool that could help defeat the coronavirus arrived in Pershing County last week. The Health Incident Trailer will mobilize COVID-19 testing and vaccination clinics and could serve the entire county now and after the pandemic according to County Commissioner Carol Shank.
    “As you are aware, Pershing County has several populated areas: Lovelock, Rye Patch/Oreana, Imlay/Unionville and Grass Valley,” she told a reporter last week. “Utilizing the CARES funds to purchase the medical trailer allowed the county to not only have it available for use during the COVID Pandemic but also for medical clinic outreach throughout the entire county.”

    Titanium and ultraviolet light powerful combination against SARS-CoV-2 virus

    Thursday, February 18, 2021 1:00 AM
    Research to control and mitigate SARS-CoV-2 particles that linger on surfaces has shown that titanium oxide coated materials subjected to ultraviolent light can be highly effective in killing the virus, according to a study at the University of Nevada, Reno.
    “Our work indicates that surfaces protected with a well-known photoresponsive oxide coating serve as effective deterrent to the proliferation of COVID-19 surrogates,” Ravi Subramanian, a chemical and material science engineering associate professor developing the new technology at the University, said. “We use a relatively common material called titanium dioxide (found in some toothpastes for example), but prepared in the form of nanotubes, along with UV light as the key agents to destroy the viral particles.”

    Seventy years ago, an atomic blast detonated in a remote, sprawling swath of desert known as Frenchman Flat was seen and felt in Las Vegas, 65 miles to the southeast.
    ``VEGANS `ATOM-IZED,''' a Las Vegas Review-Journal headline read the next day, Jan. 28, 1951, in big, bold, all-capital letters across the front page.
    Coverage featured reports from people awakened by the shockwave, or who witnessed a blinding, white flash, or described a ``borealis effect'' spread over the whole sky to the northwest.
