With a novel approach to a difficult site, this mixed-use, multi-family project captures the optimistic spirit, craft culture, and quirky contrasts of San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood. The site is a 75-foot sliver alongside the I-280 Freeway. What was previously a collection of blank warehouses on Indiana Street, engulfed in traffic noise, is now transformed into a duo of complementary residential buildings designed by separate architects.

There are few things less glamorous than running for president. You live on the road and barely have time to eat, sleep, or drink water. Candidates regularly suffer from dehydration and gout. Then there is the fact that, when you want to prepare for a debate, someone on staff has to remember to book a badly-lit hotel conference room in advance.

Nuclear command and control.
Key point: These planes are a vital communications link to ensure Washington can shoot back during a nuclear crisis.
In a military that operates Raptor stealth fighters, A-10 tank busters, B-52 bombers and Harrier jump jets, the U.S. Navy’s placid-looking E-6 Mercury, based on the 707 airliner, seems particularly inoffensive. But don’t be deceived by appearances. Though the Mercury doesn’t carry any weapons of its own... Читать дальше...
There’s nothing like the announcement of a “definitive edition” of a game to wring some answers out of a game studio and their marketing team. And so, with the announcement of Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for November 5, we finally can stop wondering about two important Tomb Raider things.

‘Gold standard’ reference sets of human muscle architecture are based on elderly cadaveric specimens, which are unlikely to be representative of a large proportion of the human population. This is important for musculoskeletal modeling, where the muscle force-generating properties of generic models are defined by these data but may not be valid when applied to models of young, healthy individuals. Obtaining individualized muscle architecture data in vivo is difficult... Читать дальше...

Facial expression recognition is related to the automatic identification of affective states of a subject by computational means. Facial expression recognition is used for many applications, such as security, human-computer interaction, driver safety, and health care. Although many works aim to tackle the problem of facial expression recognition, and the discriminative power may be acceptable, current solutions have limited explicative power... Читать дальше...

Marine management interventions are increasingly being implemented with the explicit goal of rebuilding ocean ecosystems, but early responses may begin with alterations in ecological interactions preceding detectable changes in population-level characteristics. To establish a baseline from which to monitor the effects of spatial protection on reef fish trophic ecology and track future ecosystem-level changes, we quantified temperate reef fish densities...

The current study aimed to identify the radiosensitizing effect of celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, in combination with radiotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. The combination of celecoxib potentiated radiation-induced apoptosis; however, no changes in cell cycle distribution and number of phosphorylated histone H2AX foci were detected, indicating a DNA damage-independent mechanism. In an in vivo mouse model... Читать дальше...

Soil pH is a critical soil quality index and controls soil microbial activities, soil nutrient availability, and plant roots growth and development. The current study aims to evaluate various pedotransfer functions for predicting soil pH using different geochemical indices (CaO, ratios of Al2O3, Fe2O3, TiO2, SiO2, MgO, and K2O to CaO) in forest soils. Various models including empirical functions (quadratic, cubic, sigmoid, logarithmic) and artificial neural network... Читать дальше...

This paper presents an alternative calculation procedure to calculate the mortality rate, exploiting the data available in the Eurostat demography database for Spain. This methodology has been devised based on two of the most widely known and widespread models to establish the mortality rate: The Gompertz-Makeham (GM) and Lee-Carter (LC) models. Our main goal is to obtain a model yielding a similar accuracy than LC or GM, but able... Читать дальше...
