The results of an international Italy-Japan-UK collaboration by the Università Cattolica in Milan captured this ability at its core. For a child, an incorrect action is always wrong and immoral, even if it is made by a robot.
To investigate how private vs. public water systems affect water quality and equal access to safe, clean water, researchers mapped the distribution of water system ownership, water system violations, and water injustice nationwide. Their findings are published in the journal Risk Analysis.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Sittipunt, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University and Director of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, and Prof. Dr. Kearkiat Praditpornsilpa, Head of the Healthy Elderly Project, along with a team of nurses, took part in the launching of the Elder Eats application on February 11, 2025, on the 4th floor of Sor Thor Building, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
In the U.S., credit card fraud costs $5 billion annually, identity theft adds $16.4 billion, and Medicare fraud drains $60 billion each year. A new machine learning breakthrough generates accurate fraud labels from large, imbalanced datasets without costly, time-consuming labeled data.
Cadwell Industries, Inc., a global leader in neurodiagnostic, neuromonitoring, and sleep solutions, today announced its strategic investment in Seer Medical, a Melbourne, Australia-based company specializing in home-based epilepsy diagnostics. The investment was made in partnership with investors Breakthrough Victoria and TrialCap.
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month is observed during April, and International Pet Day is commemorated on 11 April. In the past, animal welfare science focused on “What NOT to do”, or how to prevent an animal from suffering.
Various types of intergenerational support was differentially associated with older adults' satisfaction, with significant disparities between living in a rural or urban area.
May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, a time when allergists want you to know a few facts about how allergies and asthma are related, and how you can better control your asthma symptoms.
In a new development, researchers have successfully created an efficient two-line system for hybrid seed production in Brassica napus (rapeseed) using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing combined with the RUBY visual reporter. By targeting the BnaMS1 and BnaMS2 genes, they directly generated male-sterile lines from elite breeding materials, overcoming the traditional hurdles of propagation and sorting.
The American Physiological Society (APS) is pleased to announce the recipients of the Society’s most prestigious and highly competitive awards. Awardees will be recognized for their achievements at the American Physiology Summit, APS’ flagship annual meeting, to be held April 24–27, 2025, in Baltimore.
In a groundbreaking study, researchers at McMaster University have revealed a novel link between body fat (adipose tissue) and anxiety, shedding light on the intricate relationship between metabolism and mental health.
Satellite data and artificial intelligence, researchers have mapped two crucial forest fire risk indicators—canopy base height (CBH) and canopy bulk density (CBD)—with an impressive resolution of 100 meters. These detailed maps play a pivotal role in fire behavior modeling, enabling better strategies for wildfire mitigation in an era of escalating fire risks driven by climate change. The study holds particular significance for regions prone to extreme fire events, providing a new approach to fire prevention and managements.
Orthodontic treatments often take years, but a breakthrough discovery could drastically shorten this period. Researchers have uncovered that ATF6, a protein activated in macrophages during corticotomy, accelerates tooth movement by promoting inflammation and boosting the production of TNFα, a key factor in bone remodeling. This finding paves the way for faster, more efficient orthodontic procedures, minimizing both treatment time and patient discomfort. The study highlights the potential for non-invasive therapies that could reshape the future of orthodontic care.
A new collaboration between the University of Michigan and Stanford University aims to give stroke patients the ability to "speak" by detecting and interpreting brain signals, using the world's smallest computers linked up to the world's most biocompatible sensors.
Increasingly, individual U.S. states issue their own regulations about food manufacturing practices, allowable ingredients, or product labeling. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign examines the various ways manufacturers respond to state regulations and what drives their choices.
