Staqu Technologies, an artificial intelligence solutions provider, has unveiled a new heat mapping feature for their JARVIS platform. The heat mapping feature uses a real-time camera feed to track human movement and has a wide range of potential applications across various industries.The JARVIS heat mapping function provides valuable insights into customer behavior, demographics, and preferences, as well as store layout optimization. It can also improve inventory management, analyze sales and customer metrics, and…

The Mughal emperor Shahjahan founded the city of Shahjahanabad in the mid-seventeenth century as his capital. The city was located close to a cluster of older sites, at Delhi. There were several reasons for the selection of Delhi as the capital. To begin with, there was an imperial aura, a long history of the city as a capital of empires. This dated from the earliest conquest of Delhi by the Turks, in the late twelfth century, and the subsequent establishment of the Delhi Sultanate. The early Mughal emperors, Humayun…

(a) Reference historical-hazard map (based on reanalysis data), (b) hazard map constructed using the runoff-correction method (historical), (c) hazard map based on uncorrected GCM runoff (historical), (d) hazard map constructed using the lookup method, (e) hazard map constructed using the runoff-correction method (future) and (f) hazard map based on uncorrected GCM…

The complete set of neurons in an insect brain. Researchers have mapped the connectome of an entire Drosophila larva brain. This valuable resource reveals diverse neuron and connection types, extensive multisensory integration, and cross-hemisphere interaction, with structural features resembling prominent characteristics of machine learning networks. Credit: Johns Hopkins University/University of CambridgeResearchers have created the first-ever connectome, or synaptic wiring diagram, of an entire Drosophila larva brain.…

By National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) April 8, 2023Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a new imaging method to produce detailed 3D maps of uterine contractions in real-time. The technology could help define the progression of healthy labor and identify when problems may be developing, such as in preterm labor or labor arrest. Shown is a video clip of the left and right view of the real-time progression of a single uterine contraction during…

Data collection in the Arctic is not simple. Ny- Ålesund, a small town in Spitsbergen, Svalbard, provides a base in the Arctics for research. However, to get to the location of the test site can still take many hours of hiking in exceedingly difficult terrain. Credit: Dr Andreas Alexander Norwegian and Estonian researchers have developed a method to map hidden meltwater paths in glaciers. Having a better understanding of how…

Since we first got wind of Saildrone's ocean data-gathering autonomous USVs back in 2018, they've mapped miles of ocean floor, chased hurricanes (and even shared video from inside Hurricane Sam), and surveyed remote regions. Now the company is adding a new vessel to its fleet, to tackle near-shore mapping and maritime surveillance.In terms of overall size, the new Voyager uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) sits in the middle of Saildrone's model offerings, between the 23-ft-long (7-m) Explorer and the 65-ft-long (20-m)…

The number of people burdened by SLR is significantly higher when the risk of isolation is considered, rather than only the risk of inundation. Credit: Nature Climate Change (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41558-023-01642-3 A trio of environmental engineers, two with the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, the third with the University of Maryland, has developed a way to illustrate the impact of sea level rise isolation associated…

Earth's crust contains pockets of water, metal-rich brines, gas and molten rock, especially near volcanoes and other sites of geothermal activity. Knowing where these fluids are and their precise composition can help scientists assess volcanic hazards, harness geothermal energy and find useful metals, but mapping them is not an easy task. In a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, T. S. Hudson and…

In July last year, Saildrone launched one its sensor-packed unmanned aquatic drones on a voyage of discovery in the North Pacific, tasked with filling in ocean mapping blanks around Alaska's Aleutian Islands as well as off the coast of California.Despite being one of the world's largest Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), the waters around the United States are reported to be mostly "unmapped, unobserved and unexplored." Seafloor mapping by crewed research ships can prove challenging, expensive and time consuming, and that's…
