Medical Xpress / Study offers new evidence on role of health crises in driving housing instability and homelessness
Major health events increase the risk of housing instability and homelessness among Medicaid enrollees, according to a new study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. These findings shed new light on the ...
Phys.org / Self-regulation can curb students' overconfidence in AI
The rapid emergence of generative AI in higher education has raised concerns about students' reliance on the use of these tools for academic and personal tasks. Although generative AI can boost productivity and creativity, ...
Phys.org / Algal blooms explained: How scientists are helping spot them sooner
Algal blooms can seem to appear overnight. A stretch of ocean that looked clear days earlier can suddenly appear discolored and sometimes pose risks to ecosystems and human health. But scientists say blooms are rarely sudden—understanding ...
Phys.org / How to encourage a child to try new, scary things (without traumatizing them in the process)
If your child has ever dug their heels in on the morning of the school athletics or cross country day, or refused to speak in front of the class, you're not alone.
Phys.org / Studying impact flashes to detect missile and meteorite composition
Southwest Research Institute, or SwRI, is studying impact flashes generated by high-speed collisions. One application of understanding impact flashes is to remotely identify what materials are involved in the collisions. ...
Tech Xplore / Two animal-inspired algorithms just changed how software-defined networks catch attacks before disruptions spread
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based system designed to improve cyberattack detection in software-defined networks (SDNs), a networking architecture widely used in data centers and enterprise systems.
Tech Xplore / Why your building is often too hot, or cold—and the simple fix
In many cases, heating can be significantly improved simply by adjusting existing controls to account for sunlight, ventilation and how many people are inside, according to researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology ...
Medical Xpress / MMR vaccines provide long-lasting protection against measles transmission
Sustained herd immunity against measles in Finland suggests the measles-mumps-rubella, or MMR, vaccine provides long-term protection against onward measles transmission, according to a new study conducted by researchers at ...
Phys.org / Food industries embrace AI sensors to improve efficiencies
Food waste is a nagging problem that weighs heavily on global food production, distribution and sales industries—but an emerging generation of AI sensors is providing a raft of fresh solutions. The embrace of AI in food industries ...
Phys.org / The push to standardize ESG scores could make corporate greenwashing easier, not harder
Three-quarters of S&P 500 companies now tie a portion of their CEO's pay to environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. They typically include carbon emissions, workforce diversity and worker safety, among others.
Medical Xpress / Antibiotics for common sore throats have very limited effect on strep spread
Antibiotics for sore throats have hardly any preventive effect against serious streptococcal infections in the population, according to a study from the University of Gothenburg. Instead, health care needs to quickly recognize ...
Phys.org / Predictive model could help track deadly viruses back to their source
A new predictive model developed at Washington State University could help scientists more efficiently identify the reservoirs of emerging zoonotic viruses and dangerous pathogens like Ebola that can spill over from animals ...
