A new study by Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University found that cultural context greatly affects the likelihood of unhappy employees becoming entrepreneurs. Countries with low uncertainty avoidance and high social acceptance of entrepreneurship have a stronger link between job satisfaction and entrepreneurial intent. In contrast, countri...
Researchers predict huge petrol and emissions savings from implementing fuel economy standards in Malaysia. If adopted, the standards would save 16.2 billion litres of petrol and reduce CO2-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions by 37.6 million tons.
Researchers analyze impact of risk factors on heat-related mortality at different spatial scales, finding age, education, and socioeconomic status are key contributors. A localized approach is needed to address specific conditions at the city, region, and neighborhood levels.
Researchers found that green pigments had impurities that produced porous, poor quality concrete, while red and blue pigments had little effect. The study discovered that the morphology of hydration products and kinetics was related to compressive strength.
Researchers developed a new model, MultiRM, that can predict the 12 most desirable RNA modifications for large-scale prediction. The approach integrates multiple tasks into a single prediction task, providing a more comprehensive view of epitranscriptomes and discovering underlying mechanisms.
A recent study by Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University researchers found that floods in most UK areas no longer follow historical patterns due to climate change and human intervention. This challenges traditional flood frequency analysis methods, which may lead to underestimation of flood peaks and catastrophic consequences.
A new protein analysis tool, called BGIS, can quickly assess protein function with no special equipment needed. This breakthrough could accelerate basic science and medical discoveries by identifying proteins' functions and regulating their activities.
