Spatial and Contextual Disparities of Influential Factors of Adult Obesity among Communities in Chicago
Adult obesity, expressed as a function of a Body Mass Index (BMI) (i.e., > 30 kg/m²), is a pressing global public health challenge of the 21st-century built environment, such as Chicago, which experiences higher rates aggravated by disparities shaped by racial segregation & socioeconomic inequality
General intelligence and the limits of assured alignment
While current approaches in alignment of AI systems often assume that alignment is achievable through technical solutions, we ask a more fundamental question: Is robust alignment compatible with the cognitive capacities essential for general intelligence?
Unveiling the Hidden Inner Architecture of Biomolecular Condensates
The cell's biomolecular condensates harbor nanodomains that trap RNA and proteins, controlling residence time and function; as they age these nanodomains move to the surface, linking internal architecture to fibril formation in neurodegeneration and promise new therapeutic strategies.
