Measuring shells and skeletons encased in thousands of limestone samples has revealed that the sheer amount of living stuff ...

Egypt’s Great Pyramids have been a source of wonder and mystery for centuries. But recent research has shed a dazzling light on the secrets of how they were created, and how this involved the ...

The Great Pyramids of Giza have stood for thousands of years, holding secrets of their construction. These huge structures were built using advanced engineering. They show how massive stone blocks and ...

The venture, privately funded to start, is now run by the University of Arizona. And today, scientists there are quietly ...

The semantic parsing of building facade images is a fundamental yet challenging task in urban scene understanding. Existing works sought to tackle this task by using facade grammars or convolutional ...

Intuitively, relations among objects assist a model in performing inference under constrained environments. However, the top-down information flow in the Feature pyramid network (FPN) dilutes the ...

Biomass reveals the real impact and energy flow of life in an ecosystem, like knowing not just the cast of a play, but who ...

For people who are not experts, what are the signs of a collapsing reef system? Firstly, less color, because there’s less ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, Stanford researchers have measured how the abundance of ocean life has changed over the past ...

A new process of biomass gasification with a catalytic solid heat carrier is proposed that is called the ECCMB (external circulating concurrent moving bed) gasification system. The system is composed ...

Catalytic transformation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (γ-GVL) is an important route for biomass upgradation. Because both Bro̷nsted and Lewis acidic sites are required in the cascade ...

We introduce a framework, the Pyramid Discrete Diffusion model (PDD), which employs scale-varied diffusion models to progressively generate high-quality outdoor scenes. Experimental results of PDD ...
