Data from cars could be used to teach more sophisticated algorithms to recognize when a person is, say, safely scrolling through the car’s infotainment system during an easy drive on a sunny four-lane highway—or riskily fiddling with a playlist while navigating city streets in the snow. Alerts might sound or flash or buzz in the latter situation but not the former.When a driver is trying to multitask, researchers who study the psychology and mechanics of driving tend to evaluate their distraction based on whether their eyes are coming back to the road often, and for long enough, to reestablish a…

New UC Riverside research suggests nitrogen released by gas-powered machines causes dry soil to let go of carbon and release it back into the atmosphere, where it can contribute to climate change. Industrial manufacturing, agricultural practices, and significantly, vehicles, all burn fossil fuels that release nitrogen into the air. As a result, levels of nitrogen in Earth’s atmosphere have tripled since 1850. The research team wanted to understand whether this extra nitrogen is affecting soil’s ability to hold onto carbon and keep it from becoming a greenhouse gas. “Because nitrogen is used as a fertilizer for plants, we expected additional…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Many Shades of Midnight? The story explores a crisis similar to climate change, although it’s very much a fantasy version, more of a zombie apocalypse than global warming. But the real story of the book is the greed and corruption that led to the crisis and that is inspired by what’s going on in our world every day. It’s an exploration of the mentality that prioritizes profits and self-interest over everything else, only in this world time really has run out and the problem is no longer one…

It’s not just Donald Trump. Trump’s rival for the 2024 Republican nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, recently criticized “the Lefty media” for telling “lies” and broadcasting “a hoax” about his policies. Criticizing the media emerged as an effective bipartisan political tactic in the 1960s. GOP Sen.…

Every degree of warming translates to 7% more water vapour in the air, but rainfall can increase by 20% or more. Credit: NZDF/via Xinhua, CC BY-ND The final months of New Zealand’s summer carried a massive sting, bringing “unprecedented” rainfalls several times over, from widespread flooding in Auckland at the end of January to ex-tropical Cyclone Gabrielle dumping record rains and causing devastating floods across the east coast of the North Island. After all that, New Zealand experienced spells of thunderstorms, bringing repeat floods to parts of Auckland and then Gisborne. The obvious question is what role climate change plays…

Narrowing down this year’s biggest colour trends for handbags has been a difficult task. Why you may ask? Because the list of beautiful bags was so extensive. This season alone there has been something for everyone on the runway, from quiet luxury neutrals at Hermes to statement-making brights at Stella McCartney.

Truthfully, I would find it hard to choose. The huge variety of texture, size and style on top…

Advances in IoT technology have made it possible for us to easily and continually obtain large amounts of diverse data. Artificial intelligence technology is gaining attention as a tool to put this big data to use. Conventional machine learning mainly deals with single-label classification problems, in which data and corresponding phenomena or objects (label information) are in a one-to-one relationship. However, in the real world, data and label information rarely have a one-to-one relationship. In recent years, therefore, attention has focused on the multi-label classification problem, which deals with data that has a one-to-many relationship between data and label information.…
