BURSTS OF RAIN MAY DEAL A DOUBLE WHAMMY TO SOIL MOISTURE, NITROGEN
more concentrated rain can reduce the amount of water stored in soils and aquifers across all global climates. This is because heavy bursts of rain can exceed the soil’s infiltration capacity, leading to an “infiltration excess” where water pools on the surface.
Because these intense events are typically separated by longer dry intervals, the pooled water evaporates instead of recharging deep soil layers. Their work suggests that the drying effect of precipitation concentration is roughly equal in magnitude to the wetting effect of increasing total annual rainfall, effectively neutralising potential gains in the availability of water in many regions.
GLP-1S (GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS)
GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are a groundbreaking class of medications used to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity. By mimicking the natural gut hormone GLP-1, they stimulate insulin release, slow digestion, and signal to the brain that you are full, which drastically curbs appetite and stabilizes blood sugar
THE S-400 TRIUMF
The S-400 Triumf,is a mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) system developed in the 1990s by Russia.
THE GUJARAT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (GIDC)
The Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) is the premier nodal agency for industrial infrastructure in Gujarat, managing over 230 industrial estates and expanding into Special Investment Regions (SIRs), Smart Industrial Parks, and Plug-and-Play facilities
THE MEGA SCIENCE VISION-2035
The Mega Science Vision-2035 (Climate Research) report is a strategic national roadmap presented to the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India. Prepared by over 3,000 Indian climate researchers with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) as the nodal institution, it outlines eight priority Mega Science Projects to execute by 2035.
NON-PERMANENT MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL
Austria, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zimbabwe were elected as non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the year 2027-28,
the five new non-permanent members who will replace Denmark, Greece, Pakistan, Panama, and Somalia when their terms conclude at the end of 2026.
THE KANCHI KAILASANATHAR TEMPLE
The Kanchi Kailasanathar temple is the oldest structure in Kancheepuram dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Shiva lingam in this temple is 10 feet high.
Kanchi Kailasanathar temple was built in 7th century AD by a Pallava king named Rajasimha known as Narasimhavarman II. It is famous for its magnificient Vimana, the gopuram over the sanctum sanctorum.
