“GIS in the Jungle,” reflects University of Redlands Professor Monty Hempel’s legacy promoting Experiential Environmental Education (EEE). PanaMapping is an “Environmental Design Studio,” a type of course which Monty and his colleagues established at the University of Redlands to allow students to practice their GIS skills to analyze environmental problems and to develop solutions to environmental challenges outside the classroom.
Computer scientists have developed a new compiler framework, called Swivel, to protect WebAssembly, or Warm, against Spectre attacks—the class of execution attacks, which exploit the way processors predict the computations that need to happen next.
St. Jude scientist Vibhor Mishra, Ph.D., is homing in on the location where important processes in gene regulation occur, and where single-stranded transcripts are converted into double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs).
Up to now passenger cars are classified by experts in each country into categories such as micro, small, middle, upper middle, large and luxury class. But this old fashioned method has limitations in terms of compatibility. Moreover, some crossover vehicles are difficult to categorize. Empa scientists found a method to do this sorting fairly and in an efficient way by browsing databases with machine learning methods.
A chemical modification that occurs in some RNA molecules as they carry genetic instructions from DNA to cells’ protein-making machinery may offer protection against non-alcoholic fatty liver, a condition that results from a build-up of fat in the liver and can lead to advanced liver disease, according to a new study by UCLA researchers. The study, conducted in mice, also suggests that this modification — known as m6A, in which a methyl group attaches to an RNA chain — may occur at a different rate in females than it does in males, potentially explaining why females tend to have higher fat content in the liver. The researchers found that without the m6A modification, differences in liver fat content between the sexes were reduced dramatically.
This meta-analysis found enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs in elderly patients can improve the following outcomes: delirium, urinary tract infection, pain control, and mobilization. In addition, return of bowel function, overall morbidity, and length of stay were improved.
A new finding prompts researchers, clinicians to consider this impact in future research and clinical treatment of brain diseases
