Researchers have developed a novel deep-learning architecture that generates high-quality synthetic images of rare land covers to eliminate bias and drastically improve the accuracy of environmental monitoring systems.
In a recent study, researchers from the Bangalore Baptist Hospital, Bengaluru, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands and the University of Sheffield, UK, have attempted to find what ailments plagued the residents of Devarajeevanahalli.
In a recent study, published in the journal Current Science, researchers from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, South Asian University, New Delhi, and Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, Germany, have studied how much attention Indian research gets on social media.
मूत्र को रोके रखने वाली माँसपेशियों का संचालन करने वाली वैद्युतीय गतिविधियाँ मूत्र असंयमिता (Urinary Incontinence) को समझने की कुंजी हैं।
Human decision-making is critical to voluntary vaccination programs. In a recent study, published in PLoS Computational Biology, researchers from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, have modelled the outcomes of such programs using game theory. Game theory is a branch of mathematics that studies how agents in an interaction make strategic decisions.
An Indian scientific conference pressed for progress towards gender equity in science. The recommendations, which emerged from the discussions, have been forwarded to the Department of Science, Government of India.
In the course of human evolution, our ability to read is a relatively newly acquired trait. Hence, it is highly unlikely that a region of the brain could have evolved specifically for reading, unlike much more ancient functions like seeing or hearing. But, how is it that we are capable of this unique feat that involves recognising words and interpreting their meaning? Reading requires the coordinated functions of several regions in the brain, particularly associated with visual sensory processing. In a recent study, an international team of researchers investigated the effects of reading on the visual system in the brain.This study was published in the journal Science Advances.
மீநுண் தொழில்நுட்பம் எனப்படும் “நானோ தொழில்நுட்பம்” இன்று அறிவியலில் மிகப்பெரும் மாற்றத்தினை உண்டாக்கி வருகின்றது. மூலக்கூறு அளவிலும் கூட பருப்பொருட்களை கையாளும் தொழில்நுட்பமே மீநுண் தொழில்நுட்பம். மீநுண் துகள்கள் கரிமம் சார்ந்த மற்றும் சாராதவை என இரு வகைகளில் உள்ளன, இவைகள் மிக நுண்ணிய அளவினைக் கொண்டதாகும்.
Bioluminescence is the ability of an organism to produce light. How does each animal use bioluminescence differently?
During the years 2018-2019, India witnessed a few ‘Kisan Long Marches’, where thousands of farmers took to the streets. They marched against state and central governments to alleviate their suffering. Their demands included loan waivers, proper land ownership rights, access to insurance and other welfare schemes, and obtaining a justified price for their crops. The Indian farming community is facing a crisis and farmer suicides are increasing by the day. Does the country’s social and caste structure add to these woes of the farming community? A recent study by researchers has found some insights. The study, published in the journal PLOS One, explored if caste of the farmers played a role in them having access to agriculture-related information.
In an announcement made yesterday, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has published a list of the recipients of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for 2019.
