NASA Ames Asteroid Sample Return Experts Available for Interviews

Nasa.gov 

NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley invites media to interview entry systems experts that helped design the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer) sample return capsule and the thermal protection system that will keep the material safe as it endures temperatures up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit entering Earth’s atmosphere. OSIRIS-REx […]

Elephant Rumblings: Just four series left in A’s 2023 season

MLB news roundup

Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!

A second consecutive brutal season for the A’s is nearing its end. Some may be glad to end the misery of yet another 100-plus loss campaign, but I’m a glutton for punishment—always happy to delve into the nooks and crannies of prospect development and surprising breakouts that offer consolation through even the worst years.

Regardless of whether we’re ready for a break or not, a break is coming. Читать дальше...

The Vagar Country House / David Bilo + Filipe Pina

The aim of the project was to enhance the architectural, historical and landscape heritage existing in this small mountain region in the Portuguese countryside, named Cova da Beira, in the town of Belmonte. This was achieved through the restoration and preservation of the buildings and existing landscape, and by respecting their architectural character and natural values, allowing a renewal of the touristic purpose of the complex. 



Logical gates in ensembles of proteinoid microspheres

Plos.org 

by Panagiotis Mougkogiannis, Andrew Adamatzky

Proteinoids are thermal proteins which swell into microspheres in aqueous solution. Ensembles of proteinoids produce electrical spiking activity similar to that of neurons. We introduce a novel method for implementing logical gates in the ensembles of proteinoid microspheres using chronoamperometry. Chronoamperometry is a technique that involves applying a voltage pulse to proteinoid microspheres and measuring their current response. We have observed... Читать дальше...

A proposal for ranking through selective computation of centrality measures

Plos.org 

by Daniele Bertaccini, Alessandro Filippo

In complex network analysis it is essential to investigate the alteration of network structures that results from the targeted removal of vertices or edges, ranked by centrality measures. Unfortunately, a sequential recalculation of centralities after each node elimination is often impractical for large networks, and computing rankings only at the beginning often does not accurately reflect the actual scenario. Here we propose a first result on the... Читать дальше...

Prediction of hot spots towards drug discovery by protein sequence embedding with 1D convolutional neural network

Plos.org 

by Youzhi Zhang, Sijie Yao, Peng Chen

Protein hotspot residues are key sites that mediate protein-protein interactions. Accurate identification of these residues is essential for understanding the mechanism from protein to function and for designing drug targets. Current research has mostly focused on using machine learning methods to predict hot spots from known interface residues, which artificially extract the corresponding features of amino acid residues from sequence, structure, evolution...

Estimation for running time and energy losses due to unproductive stops at bus stations in urban-rural traffic corridors

Plos.org 

by Xiuhai Li, Zhan Yu, Peipei Guo, Shaowei Yu

To provide data support for developing fixed-route DRT based on FRT to reduce operating costs inside base routes in urban-rural traffic corridors, this paper estimated running time and energy losses due to unproductive stops at bus stations in urban-rural traffic corridors. Firstly, 14 urban-rural bus routes without ticket sellers in Xi’an are selected to demonstrate the universality of unproductive stops at bus stations. Secondly, a model for... Читать дальше...

Simple Bayesian reconstruction and forecasting of stream water temperature for ecologists—A tool using air temperature, optionally flow, in a time series decomposition approach

Plos.org 

by Guillaume Bal, Elvira de Eyto

Mitigating the impacts of global warming on wildlife entails four practical steps. First, we need to study how processes of interest vary with temperature. Second, we need to build good temperature scenarios. Third, processes can be forecast accordingly. Only then can we perform the fourth step, testing mitigating measures. While having good temperature data is essential, this is not straightforward for stream ecologists and managers. Water temperature (WT)... Читать дальше...

Daily replacement of very high-fat diet stabilizes food intake and improves mouse welfare by ensuring food quality

Plos.org 

by Joshua Cordeira

Researchers are obligated to ensure food quality and provide laboratory animals with a palatable diet. Factors influencing the quality and palatability of very high-fat diet (VHFD), a widely used rodent diet, however, are understudied. We conducted experiments to establish best practices for ensuring the quality of VHFD and to improve mouse welfare. We found that VHFD in the food hopper was vulnerable first to dehydration and then oxidation within 7-days, leading to dramatic... Читать дальше...
