| Finding the missing piece in global oil life-cycle assessment Posted: 16 Nov 2021 02:50 PM PST New research offers a closer look at the relationship between decreasing demand for oil and a resilient, varied oil market -- and the carbon footprint associated with both. |
| Invention lets people pay for purchases with a high-five Posted: 16 Nov 2021 02:50 PM PST Imagine your car starting the moment you get in because it recognizes the jacket you're wearing. Consider the value of a hospital gown that continuously measures and transmits a patient's vital signs. These are just two applications made possible by a new 'body area network'-enabling fabric. |
| Game theory and economics show how to steer evolution in a better direction Posted: 16 Nov 2021 11:48 AM PST Human behavior drives the evolution of biological organisms in ways that can profoundly adversely impact human welfare. Understanding people's incentives when they do so is essential to identify policies and other strategies to improve evolutionary outcomes. In a new study, researchers bring the tools of economics and game theory to evolution management. |
| Researchers develop rapid computer software to track pandemics as they happen Posted: 16 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PST Researchers have created lightning-fast computer software that can help nations track and analyze pandemics, like the one caused by COVID-19, before they spread like wildfire around the globe. |
| Air pollution decrease in India during COVID-19 lockdown not as high as originally thought Posted: 16 Nov 2021 08:13 AM PST Observational data shows air pollution in India decreased drastically in the first COVID-19 lockdown when emissions from vehicles naturally declined, but researchers say those numbers only tell part of the story -- blue skies and an absence of visible smog can be deceiving and hide pollutants that could potentially cause health issues. |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2021 07:31 AM PST Researchers have modeled that pollutant emissions from the shipping sector increased significantly in major international seaports during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2021 07:31 AM PST Since 2015, researchers have been tracking emissions from oil and gas wells and report that, over that time, emissions from the region have fallen by half. But more analysis of leak rates shows that the oil and gas industry has a ways to go in stopping methane leaks, which impact the climate and human health and can impose costs on Utah's economy. |
| Big data privacy for machine learning just got 100 times cheaper Posted: 16 Nov 2021 07:31 AM PST Computer scientists have discovered an inexpensive way for tech companies to implement a rigorous form of personal data privacy when using or sharing large databases for machine learning. |
| Clinician peer networks remove race and gender bias Posted: 15 Nov 2021 05:25 AM PST Network science can be used to remove race and gender bias in clinical settings, according to a new study. The findings suggest an effective new way to ensure safer, more equitable health care for women and minorities through managing clinician peer networks. |
