A study (An international stock), revealed that CO2 escapes from oil refineries were as high as, 1.3 Gt in 2018 and could reach 16.5 Gt from 2020 to 2030. From the results, the investigators suggest unique mitigation techniques for such refineries in various regions and ages. The results appear today (20 August 2021) in...

AI Programmers Typically Ignore Security in Search of Innovation-- How Should We Regulate Them Without Obstructing Progression? Ever since artificial intelligence (AI) transitioned from concept to reality, r&d centers throughout the world have been rushing to find the next big innovation in AI. This competition is, in some cases, called the "AI race." However, in practice,...
A capability to construct a greater concentration of viral particulates in the airways of people and also abnormalities that would improve their ability to potentially infect human blood cells could be just what provides the Delta version with its transformational upside. Although SARS-CoV-2 is more capable than it has been before. Its newest expression, the...
How should humans make decisions when the outcomes of their choices are uncertainty and unpredictably determined by the theory of probability? Such is the question posed by Prakash Shenoy, the Ronald G. Harper Distinguished Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Kansas School of Business. His resolution can be discovered in the brief article "An...
An MIT-developed inflatable robotic prosthetic hand provides amputees real-time responsive control. The smart hand is soft and flexible, weighs around 0.23 kilograms, and costs a fraction of similar prosthetics.
