When tourists venture into nature, their thoughts are often focused on the animals they鈥檒l get to see. But animals may also have them in mind, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
While exploring how best to design robots that use tails to reorient their bodies in midair, a team of researchers at the University of Michigan and University of California San Diego found that mammals had already figured out how to do more with less.
More than 90% of the adult population in the U.S. is or has been infected with Epstein Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a highly contagious member of the herpes virus family, best known for causing infectious mononucleosis ("mono") and for its association with several cancers and autoimmune diseases. Kidney transplant patients who鈥檝e never been exposed to EBV but receive organs from a donor who carried the virus may develop a life-threatening post-transplant complication called lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), according to a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. An estimated 4 to 5 percent of adult kidney transplants 鈥� as many as 1200 patients per year 鈥� could be at risk of the condition, in which the body鈥檚 immune system gets confused and immune cells can grow out of control and act like cancer. The findings were recently published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Older adults who didn鈥檛 have enough savings to cover emergency expenses during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic faced another surprising problem: higher levels of loneliness.
A comprehensive seven-year study across 20 Chinese provinces has revealed a concerning rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (E. coli), a major foodborne pathogen. Analyzing 9,068 isolates from sporadic human diarrhea cases, the research paints a troubling picture: the majority of isolates are resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent, with many demonstrating multidrug resistance. These findings are critical for shaping clinical antibiotic treatment strategies and prioritizing efforts to curb the spread of resistance.
The existing 'coprecipitation method' is upgraded by R&D collaboration. By identifying the mechanisms of dissolution and coprecipitation phenomena, process optimization was achieved, and the paper was published in an international academic journal.
In our digital times as we are inundated with YouTube videos, memes and social media, satire is everywhere, but it can be more damaging to people's reputations than direct criticism, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
In a leap for urban ecology, researchers have unveiled a cutting-edge method to dynamically estimate seasonal tree heights in Shenzhen. By seamlessly integrating multi-source remote sensing data with advanced machine learning algorithms, this novel approach drastically improves the accuracy of tree height measurements.
Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a groundbreaking quantum imaging method using ultra-thin nonlinear metasurfaces. The study predicts unprecedented resolution and field of view by combining ghost imaging and all-optical scanning techniques, outperforming conventional bulky systems. This innovation has transformative potential for quantum sensing, imaging, and communications technologies.
Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational method to monitor the Arctic鈥檚 melting ice, which holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime missions, and gaining a deeper understanding of how melting Arctic sea ice affects marine ecosystems. Their conceptual design features a small waterplane area twin hull vessel that acts as a docking and charging station for autonomous underwater vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, using solar and turbine energy to enable continuous monitoring.
