The US ambassador to the United Nations on Monday warned of an impending “large-scale massacre” in the Sudanese city of El-Fasher, a humanitarian hub in the Darfur region. The city had until recently been relatively unaffected by fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but bombardment and clashes have […]

УНН Crimes and emergencies ✎ Forest fires in the Khabarovsk region of Russia have increased by 17,000 hectares overnight to 47,600 hectares, leading to the declaration of a state
OpenStax at Rice, the largest free open-source platform for educational resources, is spearheading the initiative, called SafeInsights.
Much like how electric circuits use components to control electronic signals, quantum networks rely on special components and nodes to transfer quantum information between different points, forming the foundation for building quantum systems.
Out of about $2.2 trillion in total transactions in April, just $149 billion originated from “organic payments activity,” according to Visa.
Russian forces are gearing up for a new stage of offensive operations and the advancement of their troops, with the Kharkiv direction possibly emerging as a priority area, said Max Zhurin, deputy head of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. Despite this, Ukraine does not have full insight into the enemy’s plans. "Most likely, their focus will be in the Kharkiv region," Zhurin emphasised while speaking on the program Night Watch on TSN. "However, I do not rule out the possibility of them exerting...
A new study presents the first large-scale analysis of fire patterns in West and Central Africa's wet, tropical forests. The number of active fires there typically doubled over 18 years, particularly in the Congo Basin. The increases are primarily due to increasingly hot, dry conditions and humans' impact on the forests, including deforestation. The increase in forest fires is likely to continue given current climate projections, according to the study.
A prevailing opinion in land management is that non-native invasive plants are of no ecological value and they significantly diminish habitat quality for wildlife. Conservation practitioners allocate significant resources to invasive plant removal, often relying on surrounding native plants to passively fill the void. However, evidence that this practice improves food abundance or quality for wildlife is surprisingly limited.
For most human proteins, there are no small molecules known to bind them chemically (so-called "ligands"). Ligands frequently represent important starting points for drug development but this knowledge gap critically hampers the development of novel medicines.
The exponential progress in single-cell multi-omics technologies has led to the accumulation of large and diverse multi-omics datasets. However, the integration of single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics (or epigenomics) data poses a significant challenge to existing methods. Several transformer-based models, such as Geneformer, have significantly changed the paradigm of single-cell transcriptome analysis. However, these methods place significant demands on computational resources.
NIMS has succeeded in simulating the magnetization reversal of Nd-Fe-B magnets using large-scale finite element models constructed based on tomographic data obtained by electron microscopy.
