In the quest for stronger, more resilient buildings and infrastructure, engineers are turning to innovative solutions, such as concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFST) strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). These advanced composite structures combine the robust load-bearing capabilities and strength of CFST columns with the lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties of CFRP. The result is a cutting-edge construction material that not only enhances structural performance but also offers increased durability and reduced maintenance.In the quest for stronger, more resilient buildings and infrastructure, engineers are turning to innovative solutions, such as concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFST) strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP).

Across the nation, 911 dispatch centers are facing a worker shortage. Unfortunately, this understaffing, plus the nature of the job itself, leads to dispatchers who are often overworked and stressed. Meanwhile, when community members need to report a crime, their options are to contact 911 for an emergency or, in a non-emergency situation, call a non-emergency number or fill out an online form.Across the nation, 911 dispatch centers are facing a worker shortage.

Researchers have measured the thinking time of London taxi drivers—famous for their knowledge of more than 26,000 streets across the city—as part of a study into the future of AI route-mapping.Researchers have measured the thinking time of London taxi drivers—famous for their knowledge of more than 26,000 streets across the city—as part of a study into the future of AI route-mapping.Hi Tech & Innovation[#item_full_content]

As AI tools like ChatGPT become more mainstream in day-to-day tasks and decision-making processes, the ability to trust and decipher errors in their responses is critical. A new study by cognitive and computer scientists at the University of California, Irvine finds people generally overestimate the accuracy of large language model (LLM) outputs.As AI tools like ChatGPT become more mainstream in day-to-day tasks and decision-making processes, the ability to trust and decipher errors in their responses is critical.

The rapid development of large language models, such as ChatGPT and similar systems, in recent years has transformed computational linguistics as a research field. But what can these models really do—are they simply mimicking patterns like parrots, or do they represent artificial general intelligence? To answer this, the development of analytical methods is required.The rapid development of large language models, such as ChatGPT and similar systems, in recent years has transformed computational linguistics as a research field.

We humans excel at generalization. If you taught a toddler to identify the color red by showing her a red ball, a red truck and a red rose, she will most likely correctly identify the color of a tomato, even if it is the first time she sees one.We humans excel at generalization.
