The Quadrantid meteor shower will be the year’s first chance to see fireballs in the sky. A waning crescent moon means good visibility under clear and dark conditions. These meteors usually don’t have long trains, but the heads may appear as bright fireballs. NASA says Friday's peak may reveal as many as 120 meteors per hour. The source of the Quadrantids is debris from the asteroid 2003 EH1. The next meteor shower, the Lyrids, will peak in mid-April. You don't need special equipment to catch meteor showers.

REVIEW – I have been interested in macro photography since I was a kid and my dad won a photo contest for a close-up picture of a dandelion flower. My own macro photography is now done on products for my reviews. But I still enjoy trying to capture extreme close-up shots of flowers and nature. […]
Updated Post: Dec. 28, 4:37 PM The Tigers are still pursuing Alex Bregman, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. According to Petzold, there is mutual interest between the Tigers and Bregman, but the two parties still have a gap in value for the gold-glove third baseman. If he joined, Bregman would join […]

This year our readers had a palate for stories beyond the inevitable news cycle of the very not-normal election.
For now, the future of life on Earth is in human hands. But after the anthropocentric era, the situation starts to get dicey. The sun's luminosity is increasing over time, about 1% every 110 million years, so the Earth's surface will gradually get warmer (but at a vastly slower rate than today's global warming).
Manchester United: Injury Updates on Luke Shaw and Mason Mount As Manchester United gears up for a critical clash with Liverpool this Sunday, the club finds itself in a challenging position. Recovering from injuries could play a crucial role in turning the tide at Old Trafford. Here’s a detailed look at the current injury situation […]

The developing nervous system displays remarkable plasticity in response to sensory stimulation during critical periods of development. Critical periods may also increase the brain’s vulnerability to adverse experiences. Here we show that early-life stress (ELS) in mice shifts the timing of critical periods in the visual cortex. ELS induced by animal transportation on postnatal day 12 accelerated the opening and closing of the visual cortex... Читать дальше...

This study introduces a novel, replicable methodology for analyzing employment dynamics within public sector agencies, focusing on turnover and staff longevity. The methodology is designed to be generalizable and applicable to diverse national contexts where detailed administrative data is available. Using payroll data from over 325,000 Chilean civil servants (2006—2020), we apply mixed-effects Cox survival models and linear mixed models to examine patterns... Читать дальше...

The acquisition of knowledge and skills does not occur in isolation but learning experiences amalgamate within and across domains. The process through which learning can accelerate over time is referred to as learning-to-learn or meta-learning. While meta-learning can be implemented in recurrent neural networks, these networks tend to be trained with architectures that are not easily interpretable or mappable to the brain...

Credit scoring models play a crucial role for financial institutions in evaluating borrower risk and sustaining profitability. Logistic regression is widely used in credit scoring due to its robustness, interpretability, and computational efficiency; however, its predictive power decreases when applied to complex or non-linear datasets, resulting in reduced accuracy. In contrast, tree-based machine learning models often provide enhanced predictive performance but struggle with interpretability. Читать дальше...

Spatial updating, the ability to track the egocentric position of surrounding objects during self-motion, is fundamental to navigating around the world. However, people make systematic errors when updating the position of objects after linear self-motion. To determine the source of these errors, we measured errors in remembered target position with or without passive lateral translations. Self-motion was presented both visually (simulated in virtual reality)... Читать дальше...
