Have you ever wished you could understand what your dog is trying to say to you? University of Michigan researchers are exploring the possibilities of AI, developing tools that can identify whether a dog's bark conveys playfulness or aggression.
Circadian clocks, which drive circadian rhythms, are entwined with many essential systems in living things including plants, fungi, insects, and even humans. Because of this, disruptions to our circadian clocks are linked to higher disease rates in humans, including certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Jennifer Hurley, Ph.D., Richard Baruch M.D. Career Development Chair and Associate Department Head of Biological Sciences, has dedicated her career to understanding the mechanisms that allow our circadian clocks to keep time.
Drug-involved infant deaths more than doubled (120% increase) from 2018 to 2022, with the greatest proportion of deaths in 2021 (25.8%). The most prevalent underlying causes of death included assault (homicide) by drugs, medicaments and biological substances (35.6%).
In a triumph for precision agriculture, researchers have pinpointed a tomato exocarp-specific promoter, unlocking the potential for tailored genetic enhancements. This innovation promises to bolster the fruit's visual appeal, fortify it against environmental stressors, and significantly prolong its shelf life.
CAR031 study at 9.03-mo median follow up achieves disease control rate (DCR) of 91.3% and objective response rate (ORR) of 56.5% for patients across all dose levels (DLs) and ORR of 75.0% at DL4
A team of palaeontologists has discovered a fossil of a gigantic flying reptile from the Jurassic period with an estimated wingspan of more than three metres - making it one of the largest pterosaurs ever found from that era.
A new study has developed a two-level satellite timing system using a sparse sampling Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm. This innovative approach significantly boosts the autonomous time-keeping capabilities of next-generation navigation satellites, ensuring more stable and precise space-based time scales. The research addresses critical challenges in satellite navigation by improving long-term clock error predictions.
A new study has uncovered the potential of Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) for monitoring Earth’s surface changes with unprecedented precision. The research delves into the use of GNSS-R for detecting Earth's surface characteristics, offering a game-changing approach for environmental monitoring and target detection.
A recent review focuses on the development and optimization of thermal management technologies (TMTs) for spacecraft electronics. These technologies address the challenges of heat acquisition, transport, and rejection in the harsh space environment. The review aims to guide future spacecraft thermal management systems, ensuring the reliability and performance of space missions.
