Cathy Bendle in a columnist for the Daily Herald, who finds humor in the quirks of everyday life, from training teachers to dodging housework. When not writing, she’s either laughing at her pets, frantically Googling for her work assignments, or playing on her iPad. Her column appears every other Wednesday. Swept from the corners of my mind… I’ve always had pets. Reptiles, fish, llamas, dogs, birds, you name it. Even while living in a college dorm, I had an aquatic frog. Life is better surrounded by animals. These days, however, I am at capacity. I live in a small house with a large, young German Shepherd, an affable but hyperactive English Setter (hereafter referred to as Tigger-On-Crack), an extremely vocal Rat Terrier, cats, and birds in cages so large they reduce the living space for the rest of us. There are horses behind the house and cattle just over the fence. Assorted wildlife wanders through the yard, leaving scents and spines for my hapless crew. It all makes me happy. But there comes a point where adding another heartbeat means there isn’t enough time, space, or energy to properly care for the ones already present. People have strange ideas about farm life.

A rock plunged 90 kilometers into Earth and revealed something unexpected - Science Daily
A remarkable rock discovered in Papua New Guinea has revealed an unexpected temperature pattern deep beneath Earth's surface, challenging scientists' understanding of how tectonic plates move into the planet's interior. An international research team led by Göttingen University found that the rock traveled more than 90 kilometers (56 miles) underground about four million years ago. Along the way, it experienced unusually high temperatures at shallower depths before entering conditions associated with a relatively cooler type of subduction.

AbstractOccupational heat exposure induces physiological strain and can impair cognitive performance, exacerbating occupational error and accident risks. Although numerous heat stress indices exist, their theoretical and practical suitability for cognitive-related assessments remains ambiguous. This study established a structured multicriteria decision-making framework integrating the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize candidate heat stress indices for occupational cognitive risk evaluation. Candidate indices and screening criteria identified via literature review and expert consensus (\(n=25\)) were evaluated using FDM, followed by FAHP with Chang’s extent analysis to derive criteria weights and overall index priorities. A one-at-a-time \(+10\%\) sensitivity analysis was performed to verify model stability.
Risk assessment of insulator contamination in thermal power plants by integrating dynamic physical priors and spatiotemporal heterogeneous graphs - Nature
We’re sharing this article early to provide faster access to peer-reviewed, accepted research. It is citable and carries a permanent DOI. This version is subject to further edits and will be replaced automatically by the final Version of Record. All legal disclaimers apply. AbstractTo address the problem of predicting insulator fouling risks at thermal power plants resulting from the combined effects of various source-side facilities and meteorological conditions, we propose the Causal-STHGN model. This spatiotemporal heterogeneous graph model integrates dynamic physical priors. This paper first constructs a semantic graph of power plant entities. Source-side facility nodes are mapped to insulator monitoring points as heterogeneous nodes. Then, by integrating spatial geometric relationships, wind field directionality, source-side state characteristics, and moisture condition modulation, the model calculates dynamic physical causal priors and edge-weight priors. Furthermore, it constrains spatial dependency learning through a prior-bias graph attention mechanism. A parallel temporal structure is employed to jointly model short-term disturbances and long-term evolutionary trends.
