Machine learning holds great promise for classifying and identifying fossils, and has recently been marshaled to identify trackmakers of dinosaur ...

Studies using purified proteins have revealed that flavins specifically accelerate the enzymatic reduction of iron oxides and electrodes through interaction with the OM protein MtrC, which is a 71-kDa ...

Community network analysis derived from molecular dynamics simulations is used to identify and compare the signaling pathways in a bacterial glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS):tRNA Glu and an archaeal ...

Starbucks Coffee Company, at the height of its success, opened 4.5 new stores every day, and the convenience store chain Seven Eleven opened 6. Interesting questions for these companies to consider ...

The hypothesized role of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is rich in dreams, in the formation of new associations, has remained anecdotal. We examined the role of REM on creative problem solving, ...

The response of species to climate change is of increasingly urgent importance. Here, we address the specific changes in climate that were associated with recent population extinctions, using data ...

Water provides an attractive medium for storing solar energy via water splitting. Charge-separated states generated by solar capture may be transferred to catalysts that split water to hydrogen and ...

Recommender systems use data on past user preferences to predict possible future likes and interests. A key challenge is that while the most useful individual recommendations are to be found among ...

The dominant patterns of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) and their relationships with the sea surface temperature and 850-hPa wind fields are examined using gridded datasets from 1900 on. The ...

Intense sunlight is dangerous for photosynthetic organisms. Cyanobacteria, like plants, protect themselves from light-induced stress by dissipating excess absorbed energy as heat. Recently, it was ...

The viruses that caused the three influenza pandemics of the twentieth century in 1918, 1957, and 1968 had distinct hemagglutinin receptor binding glycoproteins that had evolved the capacity to ...
