Ever wondered how we can make wastewater treatment plants work more efficiently? Scientists have come up with a clever way to predict changes in water quality, which is really important for managing the process and reducing pollution. They combined something called convolutional bi-directional gated
Imagine being at a healthy weight, but your body behaves as if it's overweight. This condition, known as normal weight obesity (NWO), sneaks under the radar of healthcare professionals. They often assume low health risks when the Body Mass Index (BMI) is normal. But does NWO up the odds of getting b
Financial companies use fundamental factor models to understand how asset returns are connected and to manage risk. But after big events like COVID-19, analysts might wonder if their risk models still fit well. Specifically, they want to know if, after accounting for known factors, the leftover part
Pyramid Analytics, a top player in AI-driven data analysis, has bagged a hefty $50 million from investment giant BlackRock. This follows a nod from Gartner for their modern analytics platform. What sets them apart is their user-friendly system, which has even piqued the interest of heavyweights like
Picture a farmer beginning with just a few chicks or baby cows. Over time, these little ones need food and care to grow big and strong. Eventually, they end up on our dinner plates. Did you know that raising these animals for food contributes a lot to greenhouse gas emissions? From the feed they eat
Imagine you're trying to solve a puzzle, but you can only see the colors on the pieces. Scientists have found a clever trick to figure out the shape of these pieces using the color pattern. This is like understanding the Burns-Epstein invariant of a spherical CR homology sphere using its holonomy re
Ever thought about what happens to cryptocurrencies when the market gets tough? Researchers used complex models like Student-t, Frank, and Clayton, along with Copula methods, to find the answers. They cleaned the data with EGARCH for return rates and GARCH for trading volumes. So, what did they lear
Imagine you're trying to figure out how different cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple move together. You look at their prices from January 2016 to December 2021, including the crazy time of the crypto crash and the pandemic. You use a special tool called the Generalized Aut
Day one of Moana 2's international release was a real wave-maker, raking in $8. 8M from just 10 countries. Imagine this: it's not even a major holiday period outside the US, yet these numbers are making big splashes. In France, the animated flick smashed records, scoring the second-highest opening d
Imagine trying to figure out what dinosaurs ate by looking at their fossilized vomit and poop. That's exactly what scientists did! They studied hundreds of these "bromalites" from Poland, which are over 200 million years old. By using advanced tools like particle accelerators, they found bits of fis
