As plates move, magma rises, and glaciers melt—just to mention a few scenarios—rocks are subject to varying pressure and compressional and extensional forces. The effect of these stresses on rock mineralogy and texture is of great interest to the tectono-metamorphic community. Yet the link between process and outcome remains elusive.…

For decades, Alpha Structural, Inc. has developed a powerful reputation as the number one contractor in the Los Angeles area for foundation engineering and repair, landslide repair, and earthquake and structural rehabilitation.The company's team has over 400 years of combined technical experience, and all of it is hard-core and down-in-the-trenches, not managed from behind a computer.But Alpha Structural, Inc. also shares content from its engineers' day-to-day work, including all of their funniest, most bizarre, and…

New research to be presented at the Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting is the first to reveal microstructural brain changes in long COVID patients compared to fully recovered patients and uninfected subjects. The findings indicate long COVID symptoms can be associated with changes to specific cerebral networks.“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study comparing patients with long COVID to both a group without history of COVID-19 and a group that went through a COVID-19 infection but is…

The Taihang Mountains have an adjusting effect on the meteorological conditions of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in the North China Plain (NCP). For the thermal structure (figure b), the western part of the NCP near the mountains is significantly affected by drainage flow and subsidence warming, resulting in lower surface temperature, stronger elevated inversion layer, more stable atmospheric stratification, and worse conditions for vertical…

MIT scientists found that the protein perlecan, found in both flies and humans, is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of neuronal axons. Without it, axons can break, leading to the death of synapses.Scientists find a protein common to flies and people is essential for supporting the structure of axons that neurons project to make circuit connections.In a study conducted by <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="<div…

We know that time in space affects our bodies, from our brains to our bones, but scientists are still not clear on the details. In a new study, researchers looked at how the length of space missions and the time between them might affect fluid in the human brain.This cerebrospinal fluid, stored in the brain in four pockets called ventricles, helps to cushion the brain and keep it protected. It's also associated with washing away cellular waste and delivering nutrient supplies from the bloodstream.Researchers from the…

Arabica now offers a structural break and sentiment analysis module to enrich time-series text miningPhoto by Adam Śmigielski on UnsplashText data contains lots of qualitative information, which can be quantified with various methods, including sentiment analysis techniques. These models are used to identify, extract and quantify emotions from text data and have wide use in business and academic research. Since the text is often recorded on a time-series basis, text datasets might display structural breaks as the…

Leaders in the U.S. scientific community must dismantle the power structures that lead to racial inequities within their organizations and create an environment in which everyone feels supported, says a report released today by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The 359-page report includes 12 recommendations for leaders who want to foster change. “There is no magic bullet; there's no one single answer,” said Gilda Barabino,…
