| Innovation flows across regions and sectors in complex ways, study shows Posted: 05 Apr 2022 02:18 PM PDT Knowledge creation -- the generation of new ideas and patents -- is an important driver of economic growth. Understanding how knowledge moves across industry sectors and regions can inform research and development (R&D) efforts, promote university-industry partnerships for innovation, and impact private businesses' location decisions. A new study provides a thorough look at the flow of knowledge in five industrial sectors across the United States. |
| Engineers point the way to more affordable, sustainable urban neighborhoods Posted: 05 Apr 2022 11:35 AM PDT Analysis presents a first-of-its-kind framework to design the most efficient mix of urban buildings along with integrated systems to supply power and water services. The approach could significantly reduce costs and pollution compared to traditional systems. |
| Disbelief in human evolution linked to greater prejudice and racism Posted: 04 Apr 2022 01:46 PM PDT A disbelief in human evolution was associated with higher levels of prejudice, racist attitudes and support of discriminatory behavior against Blacks, immigrants and the LGBTQ community in the U.S., according to recent research. |

| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 12:01 PM PDT As the demand for home deliveries from online purchases continues to increase, researchers recently published research showing that some -- but not all -- consumers will accept going to alternate delivery locations to get their packages rather than having them delivered directly to their front door. |
| Delicate balance of coral reef processes creates management challenges Posted: 04 Apr 2022 09:04 AM PDT An international team of researchers has quantified five critical ecological processes on more than 500 coral reefs worldwide to understand how these processes relate to each other, what may distinguish the most functional reefs, and what that means for our management of reef functioning. |
| Urban agriculture in Detroit: Scattering vs. clustering and the prospects for scaling up Posted: 04 Apr 2022 07:57 AM PDT Despite Detroit's reputation as a mecca for urban agriculture, a new analysis of the city's Lower Eastside, which covers 15 square miles, found that community and private gardens occupy less than 1% of the vacant land. |
| Understanding the use of bicycle sharing systems with statistics Posted: 04 Apr 2022 07:56 AM PDT Though bicycle sharing systems (BSSs) are popular in many big cities, it is necessary to actively rebalance the number of bicycles across the various ports with optimization algorithms. In a recent study, researchers statistically analyzed the bicycle usage patterns in four real-world BSSs to obtain realistic benchmarks for testing these algorithms. Their findings can make BSS rebalancing more efficient through an understanding of the social dynamics of human movement. |
| Teens more likely to disengage from school after police stops Posted: 04 Apr 2022 06:30 AM PDT Teens who are stopped by the police are more likely to report greater disengagement from school the next day, and racial and ethnic minority youth reported more invasive police encounters than white youth, according to new research. |
