Mapping fire-prone areas is important for both fire prevention and firefighting efforts. Most fire-risk maps are generated using static and/or current information on variables such as topography, vegetation density and humidity. Satellites are often used to provide such information. However, long-term vegetation dynamics and the cumulative dryness status of the woody vegetation, which may affect fire occurrence and spread, are rarely considered in maps of fire-risk zones.

Modern living is full of stimuli competing for our attention. Focusing attention on a single speaker while ignoring various disruptions is not easy, particularly for people with hearing impairments. But what happens in a "cocktail party" scenario with several speakers in one room? For people with normal hearing, the brain helps direct attention to the right speaker.

Stopping the spread of COVID-19 is difficult enough. It’s even more complicated and confusing when information and resources provided by governments are largely inaccessible to a variety of disabled populations. A newly-published global survey of national health authority websites in nearly 200 countries has directly quantified COVID-19 information accessibility.

Several studies proposed the importance of zinc ion in male fertility.

Research conducted by Prof. Johnny S. Younis, Vice-Dean for Clinical Education at Bar-Ilan’s Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, contributes to our understanding of the possible long-term effects of COVID-19, specifically with regard to male fertility.
