Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), the operator of Southern and Thameslink services, hopes the new flexible charges will prove popular among town centre visitors. Three stations are taking part in the pilot scheme – Brighton, Eastbourne and Lewes, chosen as their centres have daytime and evening attractions that would benefit from more good value, convenient parking for flexible durations. At Eastbourne and Lewes, new one-hour, two-hour and evening parking rates are being offered until mid-February. Until the trial, only full-day parking had been available at those stations to ensure spaces are available for commuters. For the pilot, Eastbourne customers can choose to stay…

Researchers have been studying the transcription factor SREBP, a critical regulator of lipid biosynthesis. Precursor SREBP proteins, located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the cell, are transported through the golgi apparatus to the nucleus. Here, they promote the transcription of genes associated with lipid biosynthesis, playing a pivotal role in regulating cholesterol. SREBP-1c, a specific member of the SREBP family, is known to activate fatty acid synthesis. Interestingly, this process is inhibited by polyunsaturated fatty acids. The exact mechanism behind this regulation, however, remains to be elucidated. The research team elucidated a novel cleavage mechanism of SREBP-1c, a protein…

Cllr Alex Wilson, SNP, who chairs the city’s licensing committee, told Qomandan Sadat that Glasgow has a policy where vehicles from abroad aren’t accepted as “we do not know the vehicle history”. He said the driver’s imported car couldn’t operate in the city — and he would either have to get another vehicle or apply to work in a different council area. Mr Sadat complained that he does not have the money to buy another car, and claimed licensing officials had said his vehicle would be accepted. Cllr Wilson said he had asked officials to look again at the policy…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A Washington-based conservation group filed a petition with federal regulators Wednesday, requesting that they list Alaska king salmon as an endangered species. The Wild Fish Conservancy argued in its 67-page petition that king, or chinook, salmon numbers have declined to the point where the species is at risk of extinction in Alaska. The group cites state data indicating that the decline has been predominately caused by climate change, habit destruction and hatchery salmon competing for food with wild fish. The group is asking that the National Marine Fisheries Service formally review king salmon numbers across the…
