Ukraine 's F-16 pilots have had to dramatically change the way they fly in order to fight Russia .

Michael Bohnert , an air warfare expert at the RAND Corporation , told Business Insider that the big changes make it difficult for them to overcome old habits and muscle memory in a crisis.

Ukraine pilots were given roughly nine months of training in the US and some European countries, while Western pilots are given three years to learn the jets.

Denmark , Norway , Belgium , and the Netherlands have pledged more than 85 F-16s to Ukraine .

Only a handful of the jets were delivered to Ukraine in August .

Ukraine is getting older jets, but they're not a match for Russia 's better jets or air defenses.

The delays in getting this program spun up have been detrimental.

A chemical compound found in African wormwood could be effective against tuberculosis.

O-methylflavone can kill the mycobacteria that causes tuberculosis in both its active state and its slower, hypoxic state.

Tuberculosis — caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or Mtb — is one of the world's leading killers.

Also co-authors on the paper were Scarlet Shell , Maria Natalia Alonso, Junpei Xiao , Juan Hilario Cafiero, Trevor Bush , Melissa Towler and Pamela Weathers , all at Worcester Polytechnic Institute .

A team of astronomers led by University of Arizona researchers has used NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope to obtain some of the most detailed insights into the forces that shape protoplanetary disks.

The team was able to trace so-called disk winds in unprecedented detail.

These winds are streams of gas blowing from the planet-forming disk out into space.

"We believe they could be common, but with four objects, it's a bit difficult to say," Pascucci said. "We want to get a larger sample with James Webb , and then also see if we can detect changes in these winds as stars assemble and planets form."

New research shows how Queensland regions can learn from biodiversity and carbon offsetting efforts to better meet water quality targets.

Water quality offsets are designed to counterbalance industrial pollution by reducing emissions elsewhere, often from agricultural sources.

Researchers found that sewage treatment plants will require a large volume of water quality offsets by 2050 in Cairns and a small volume of offsets immediately in Mackay .
