Mount Sinai study suggests COVID-19 infection should be considered a risk factor for future cardiopulmonary conditions
Researchers at Children鈥檚 Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) highlighted the success of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibition therapy in treating hereditary neuroblastoma, a rare subset of a common childhood cancer. Researchers suggest that the findings, published recently in JCO Precision Oncology, could help establish a new standard of care.
A new study from WashU Medicine examines the choices healthy research volunteers make when given the opportunity to learn their risk of developing Alzheimer鈥檚 disease dementia. The researchers found a large discrepancy between the percentage of participants who said they would like to learn their risk if such estimates became available and the percentage who followed through to learn those results when given the actual opportunity.
Researchers in China model the motions of groups of manta rays to study how group dynamics affect their propulsion, studying different formations of three manta rays: in tandem, in a triangular setup with one manta ray in front leading two behind, and in an inverse triangular configuration with one manta ray trailing the other two. They found the tandem formation only significantly increases propulsion for the middle manta ray, and the two triangular setups result in overall decreased efficiency compared to a single swimmer on its own. These findings can help optimize formations for underwater vehicle operations.
In this week鈥檚 JASA Express Letters, researchers in Japan capture sound fields around musical triangles. They wanted to understand the physical properties of the triangle instrument, test assumptions about the contribution of the triangle shape, and capture clear documentation through pictures of the sound waves around the triangle. Using acousto-optic imaging to study detailed characteristics of sound vibration pattern, the team found results that suggest resonance may occur in the triangle's semi-open space.
Recent artificial intelligence advances have largely focused on text, but AI increasingly shows promise in other contexts, including manufacturing and the service industry. In these sectors, targeted AI improvements can improve product quality and worker safety, according to a new study co-authored by an interdisciplinary team of experts from the University of Notre Dame.
A recent American Academy of Dermatology survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults found that half worry about premature skin aging and only half use sunscreen regularly, while nearly 1 in 4 don鈥檛 know it helps prevent early aging.
To create a more resilient electric grid that meets the nation鈥檚 increasing power demands, utilities are incorporating a wider array of energy sources. But this shift requires the ability to predict how the grid will react to fluctuations in the flow of electricity from new sources of power. Researchers at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a dynamic modeling method that uses machine learning to provide accurate simulations of grid behavior while maintaining what is called a 鈥渂lack box鈥� approach. This technique does not require details about the proprietary technology inside the equipment 鈥� in this case, a type of power electronics called an inverter. Engineers incorporated the new modeling capability into an open-source software tool and demonstrated its success with different scenarios and inverter brands.
University of Utah hydrologists show most streamflow out of the West鈥檚 mountains is old snowmelt on a multi-year underground journey. New study finds that spring runoff is on average 5 years old, raising real implications for water management in the arid West.
A new Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) grating modulator has been developed, offering significant advancements in optical efficiency and scalability for communication systems. By integrating a tunable sinusoidal grating with broadside-constrained continuous ribbons, a large-scale aperture of 30 脳 30 mm is achieved and supports high-speed modulation up to 250 kHz.
