As Election Day dawns, the GOP continues to pursue lawsuits focused on keeping people from voting or, if they manage to vote, making sure those votes aren’t counted. It’s the only strategy they have available as their candidate melts down when his microphone makes him sad, threatens former Rep.

Globular cluster Gran 5 hosts two stellar populations, study finds

Phys.org 

Using the Gemini-South telescope, astronomers have performed high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of stars in a Galactic globular cluster known as Gran 5. They found that this cluster harbors two stellar populations with different metallicities. The finding was reported in a paper published October 28 on the pre-print server arXiv.

Spraying rice with zinc oxide nanoparticles protects yields during heat waves, study finds

Phys.org 

A small team of horticulturists in China and the U.S. has found that spraying rice plants with a zinc oxide nanoparticle solution helps them better handle the stress of a heat wave. In their study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group conducted experiments involving spraying rice plants in a heated greenhouse.

This is how internationals can change the course of 2025 elections

The Copenhagen Post online 

Inspired by Robin Dickheiwer’s recent observations on the growing yet politically underrepresented international community in Denmark, this is an analysis of the percentage of EU citizens in Danish kommuner and how they could affect the outcome of next year’s local elections.

In a seaside condominium, the rectangular and flat lot of 520 sq m is surrounded by conventional two-story houses with attic. Countless windows and openings brought a big privacy issue for this 490 sq m residence. Therefore, the planned program was placed between two windowless and aerial walls, with travertine cladding, supported by columns, and positioned within the legal boundaries of the property. These aerial walls configure the side facades of the building, ensuring the privacy of the internal spaces from the nearest neighbors. Читать дальше...

by Aqsa Rasheed, Uzma Bashir

Routable Digital Maps represent a recent advancement driven by the growth of Intelligent Transportation System applications. Efforts have been made to develop and utilize maps within computer systems that can autonomously identify optimal routes. Typically, online map visualizations lack essential information such as traffic patterns, construction zones, or lane counts, which are crucial for designing accurate and realistic routes. This research introduces a route... Читать дальше...
