Photos in social media reveal socio-cultural value of landscapes

Every day, users upload millions of photos on platforms, such as Flickr, Instagram or Facebook. A study now shows that these photos can be used to assess the social importance of certain landscapes. For this purpose, they developed a new image analysis method based on artificial intelligence. The results might be of particular importance for landscape management and presentation. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181031124920.htm

Wearable heating pad with nanowires to conduct heat

Sometimes nothing feels better on stiff, aching joints than a little heat. But many heating pads and wraps are rigid and provide uneven warmth, especially when the person is moving around. Researchers have now made a wearable heater by modifying woven Kevlar® fabric with nanowires that conduct and retain heat. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181031124912.htm

Most detailed observations of material orbiting close to a black hole

ESO's exquisitely sensitive GRAVITY instrument has added further evidence to the long-standing assumption that a supermassive black hole lurks in the center of the Milky Way. New observations show clumps of gas swirling around at about 30 percent of the speed of light on a circular orbit just outside its event horizon -- the first time material has been observed orbiting close to the point of no return, and the most detailed observations yet of material orbiting this close to a black hole. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181031080621.htm

Giant flightless birds were nocturnal and possibly blind

If you encountered an elephant bird today, it would be hard to miss. Measuring in at over 10 feet tall, the extinct avian is the largest bird known to science. However, while you looked up in awe, it's likely that the big bird would not be looking back. According to a brain reconstruction, the part of the elephant bird brain that processed vision was tiny, a trait that indicates they were nocturnal and possibly blind. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181031101018.htm

Earliest hominin migrations into the Arabian Peninsula required no novel adaptations

A new study suggests that early hominin dispersals beyond Africa did not involve adaptations to environmental extremes, such as to arid and harsh deserts. The discovery of stone tools and cut-marks on fossil animal remains at the site of Ti's al Ghadah provides evidence for hominins in Saudi Arabia at least 100,000 years earlier than previously known. Stable isotope analysis indicates a dominance of grassland vegetation at the site, similar to other early hominin environments. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181029130948.htm
