But they’re moving in very different directions.US Increases H-1B Visa Fee to $100,000In the US, the H-1B visa, which was long seen as a gateway for skilled professionals, especially in tech, is facing a major upheaval, as per a report. What Is the H-1B Visa and Who Uses It?H-1B visas allow highly skilled foreign professionals to work in speciality occupations in the US that generally require at least a bachelor’s degree to fulfil the role for jobs in the fields of science, technology, engineering...

In 2003, an exhumed marble head in Crimea intrigued archaeologists. Twenty years later, an investigation mixing science and art history lifts the veil on the identity of this female figure which marked the history of its city. In 2003, the excavations of the ancient Greek city of Tauric dear, the current Sébastopol in Crimea, delivered the head marblemarble of a Roman matron, remarkably preserved in the half-sous-ground of a large residence of 718 m², close to the theater and the Agora. Around it, currencies, pottery and an altar in ceramicceramic With the effigy of Artemis and Apollo attests to an intact archaeological context, allowing a fine dating: the piece was deposited between 60 and 240 AD, probably at the end of the IIᵉ. Although damaged (neznez and broken facial features before its burial) the sculpture retains remarkable...

Corn rootworms, pests responsible for billions of dollars in yearly crop losses, are evolving resistance that weakens even the latest biotechnology controls, according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Drawing on decades of data across multiple states, University of Arizona entomologists found that field-evolved resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, is undermining the effectiveness of corn that targets rootworms with the combination of Bt and RNA interference, or RNAi, a new biotech control that turns the rootworms' own genetic instructions against them. The research team analyzed extensive field data collected over the past two decades in 12 previous studies, including millions of rootworms evaluated across the Corn Belt, which extends from western Ohio to eastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas. "The results consistently show that in fields where...
