Hey there, did you know how much human activities and the rocks around rivers can affect water quality? Well, let's dive into a study about this in southern Nigeria. Researchers looked at river water during both the wet and dry seasons to see what's up with the chemistry and quality. They collected
As we flip the calendar to 2025, let’s take a look at what some of Dallas’ top athletes might want to focus on in the coming year. They’ve had their ups and downs in 2024, but with a new year comes new opportunities. Dak Prescott has had a rollercoaster year both on and off the field. With a new ba
Recently, big breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made Large Language Models (LLMs), like GPT, popular among academic researchers. These models help with tasks like literature reviews and manuscript drafting. But, they also pose ethical challenges, such
In the heart of Los Angeles, a curious collision occurred on December 27. A self-driving robotaxi from Waymo and a sidewalk delivery bot from Serve Robotics unexpectedly met at an intersection in West Hollywood. A video posted online shows the Serve bot trying to cross the street and make its way on

On Sunday morning, a strong gust of wind, clocked at 95mph, swept through the quiet town of Winnsboro. The National Weather Service classified this windstorm as an EF-1 tornado, while two smaller ones, categorized as EF-0, also made their way through the area. The tornadoes left a trail of damage, i
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
Marek's Disease, a significant health issue for chickens, can cause neurological damage and tumors. It heavily impacts the poultry industry's economy and animal welfare. In the past, scientists used individual genotyping to map regions linked to MD on chicken autosomes. This time, they used a differ
Imagine having the ability to identify sports activities just by using basic motion data. This is exactly what a new method called Human Activity Recognition (HAR) does. By using sensors and special learning algorithms, HAR can tell the difference between various sports activities with impressive ac
