Ever wondered how parents' divorce affects kids aged 9 to 12? It's a big deal, especially when it comes to their personality. Researchers had a look at this using a test called the MPACI. They thought that kids from divorced homes might show signs of personality disorders. And guess what? Their resu
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is revolutionizing the way scientists look at tissue structure. One key step in ST data analysis is identifying spatial domains—areas within tissue that have unique characteristics. Researchers have created a new method called GRAS4T to tackle this challenge. GRAS4T uses
Over the years, Villavicencio's micro-basins have witnessed various social and environmental conflicts. These conflicts stem from the practices of social actors, who engage in socio-economic and cultural activities that influence the use of natural resources. The processes of territorialization in t
Nobel laureate Paul Krugman was not a fan of cryptocurrencies back in 2019. He saw their future as dim. But even he couldn't deny that cryptocurrencies are big players today. They've changed how we think about money and finance. Governments are watching closely, trying to keep up with these digital
Imagine a tiny explorer who's on a journey, but instead of a map, this adventurer relies on luck. This explorer could be a particle, or a tiny animal, wandering in an environment where conditions aren't always the same. Scientists call this a 'random walk', and they're interested in how fast this wa
Imagine a robot trying to find its way through a new building, relying only on human instructions. This is the challenge of Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN). The problem is, robots often struggle to adapt to new places because they're trained on limited data. To solve this, researchers created E
Imagine being dropped into three different environments: one that's always changing, another that stays the same, and a third that's changing on a global scale. Which one would you think is easiest to survive in? Surprisingly, scientists found that a locally changing environment is the best for surv
Did you know that discarded polyester is a major problem? It's bad for the environment and health. But guess what? There's a smart way to fix this – chemical recycling! Let's dive in. Traditionally, we've used methods like pyrolysis, carbonation, and solvolysis to break down polyesters. But newer w
Influenza A is giving scientists a run for their money with its drug-resistant variant, the S31N M2 proton channel. Lately, researchers have been concerned about how different lipid environments might affect this channel's structure. The M2 tetramer's native shape is still a hot topic among experts.
Ever wondered how to make reinforcement learning research easier? Meet UDE (Unified Distributed Environment), a clever toolkit designed to integrate various simulation platforms like Gazebo, Unity, Unreal, and OpenAI Gym. The cool part? UDE can run these environments on a remote machine while keepin
