As we wrap up 2023, a significant weather shift is on the horizon. Temperatures are expected to plummet to the 50s today, a stark contrast from yesterday's high of 82 degrees. This chill is courtesy of a cold front that swept through overnight. Accompanied by a brisk north wind, the evening temperat
Traffic forecasting on freeways has long relied on deep learning models, especially graph neural networks that blend graph theory with deep learning. These models are great at learning complex time and space patterns. However, traditional graph convolutional networks (GCNs) sometimes struggle with l
The San Francisco 49ers faced a rough night during their Monday game against the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Brock Purdy, who was already dealing with a tough game, took a hit to his blind side by Lions safety Brian Branch. The hit seemed to affect Purdy's hand or wrist, prompting him to leave the ga
Imagine waking up to no lights, no air conditioning, and no way to make coffee. That's what happened to nearly 90% of Puerto Rico's residents on New Year's Eve. A major power failure hit the island, leaving about 1. 3 million customers without electricity. This isn't the first time something like th
Spherical tanks are popular in industries due to their large storage capacity. But managing their liquid levels can be tricky. Traditional PI and PID controllers just don't cut it because these processes are nonlinear. Enter Fractional-Order controllers (FOPI and FOPID), designed using the Approxima
In a surprising turn of events, Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, was sent to the US on the last day of 2024. He's been accused of a massive crypto fraud, losing investors billions. The story began in May 2022 when TerraUSD and Luna, the stablecoins from his company, collapsed. This caused
Imagine you're trying to see inside your sinuses. Two tools are often used: Computed Tomography (CT) scans and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A recent study pitted 0. 5T MRI against CT to see if it could do the job just as well. The test involved 42 patients who had both scans within an average o
You might think that every movie with a big star like Charlize Theron would be a hit. But "Reindeer Games" is a Christmas thriller that tanked big time. It didn't make much money, barely covering its $42 million budget with a worldwide gross of about $32 million. Ouch! This was also the last film di
In the cold regions of Finland, high winds can wreak havoc on overhead power lines, causing frequent blackouts. Researchers have been studying the link between wind speed and soil frost to better understand these disruptions. By collecting data from five regions between 2008 and 2018, they've discov
Tonight is the final Monday Night Football game of the 2024 NFL regular season! The Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers are meeting again, but this time the stakes are different. The Lions have already secured a playoff spot, while the 49ers won't be seeing the postseason this year. If you're
