In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Bowling centers apply oil to their lanes using a machine that works like a giant inkjet printer. The pattern in which it’s applied can change everything about how the ball travels.

The political fallout continues after the killing of Chandranath Rath, personal assistant of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, in West Bengal. The BJP has strongly alleged that the ruling TMC is ...

This work presents a hybrid experimental technique for stress analysis in pipes due to soil-pipe interaction. It was used a variation of Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry (DSPI) combined with a ...

Understanding the shear strength degradation mechanism of a rock mass joint surface under cyclic shear load and determining a corresponding analytical model is an important foundation for accurately ...

Vitellogenin (Vg) is a phylogenetically broad glycolipophosphoprotein. A major function of this protein is holding lipid cargo for storage and transportation. Vg has been extensively studied in honey ...

Background: Porcine heart and bovine pericardium valves, which are collagen-based with relatively little elastin, have been broadly utilized to construct bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs). With a ...

This paper concerns the more foundational tasks of distributed dense linear algebra. While a single TPU core can already store and operate on large matrices (e.g., of size 16,384, 32,768 in single ...

Concrete diaphragm walls (CDWs) are widely used as the support of deep excavation in soft ground in urban areas due to their high bending stiffness and excellent water tightness. As per the statistics ...

I have a serious weakness for pure forms and simple geometry. What? You knew that already? I know, I’m becoming super predictable. Having said that, as much as I cannot get passed squares, rectangles, ...

The present study examined the thesis that positive affect may serve to broaden the scope of attentional filters, reducing their selectivity. The effect of positive mood states was measured in two ...
