We found 410 dead birds collected along 196 km of power lines in four western USA states during 2019–2022. We necropsied these carcasses to test conventional wisdom suggesting that electrocution is the leading cause of death of birds at electrical infrastructure. Of 175 birds with a known cause of death, 66% died from gunshot....
GPT detectors frequently misclassify non-native English writing as AI generated, raising concerns about fairness and robustness. Addressing the biases in these detectors is crucial to prevent the marginalization of non-native English speakers in evaluative and educational settings and to create a more equitable digital...
Carbon offsets allow companies and governments to outsource emission reductions to third parties and have played a prominent role in many climate mitigation policies to date. But in order to support temperature stabilization under the Paris Agreement, nearly everything about them must change.
Key Points...
Using genomic techniques to change the color of plants to make it easier for robots to harvest them.
Lions have long been perceived as Africa’s, if not the world’s, most fearsome terrestrial predator,the “king of beasts”. Wildlife’s fear of humans may, however, be far more powerful and all-prevailing, as recent global surveys show that humans kill prey at much higher rates than other predators, due partly to...
Using hourly historical gas demand data, we conclude that the domestic peak heat demand is almost 50% lower than widely cited values. A 100% electrification pathway can be achieved with only a 1.3-fold increase in generation capacity compared to a power-only decarbonization scenario, but only by leveraging the role of thermal...
Highlights • Chronic stress increases metastasis in mice • Chronic stress establishes a pro-metastatic lung microenvironment • Deleting the neutrophil-glucocorticoid receptor abolishes stress-induced metastasis • Chronic stress induces metastasis-promoting neutrophil extracellular traps Summary Chronic stress is...
Timing and quantity of sleep depend on a circadian (∼24-h) rhythm and a specific sleep requirement. Sleep curtailment results in a homeostatic rebound of more and deeper sleep, the latter reflected in increased electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity (SWA) during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Circadian rhythms...
This paper carries out a meta-review of 54 independent studies to assess the scientific evidence for using hydrogen for heating buildings. The analysis concludes that the scientific evidence does not support a major role for hydrogen in cost-optimal decarbonization pathways being associated with higher energy system and consumer...
