菲律宾洪水和滑坡造成至少115人死亡和失踪

(SeaPRwire) - 菲律宾塔利萨伊——热带风暴“特拉米”袭击菲律宾,造成的大规模洪水和山体滑坡已造成超过 100 人死亡和失踪,总统周六表示,许多地区仍然与外界隔绝,人们需要救援。 特拉米周五从菲律宾西北部吹走,给该国造成了今年迄今为止最致命和破坏性最大的风暴之一,政府灾难应对机构称,造成至少 81 人死亡和 34 人失踪。随着先前与世隔绝地区的报告陆续传来,死亡人数预计会上升。 周六,数十名警察、消防员和其他紧急救援人员,在三台挖掘机和搜救犬的协助下,在八打雁省塔利萨伊镇湖边挖掘了最后两位失踪村民之一。 一名父亲正在等待关于他失踪的 14 岁女儿的消息,当救援人员将遗体放进黑色尸袋时,他哭泣了。他心烦意乱地跟着警察,警察将尸袋从一条泥泞的村巷里抬到警车里,当一名哭泣的居民走近他表示慰问时。 该男子表示,他确信那是他的女儿,但当局需要进行检查以确认从土堆中挖出的村民的身份。 在镇中心附近的一个篮球馆,十多个白色的棺材并排放置,里面放着那些被发现的人的遗体,他们在周四下午从塔利萨伊桑帕洛克村一处树木繁茂的山脊的陡峭斜坡上倾泻而下的泥土、巨石和树木堆中被发现。 总统费迪南德·马科斯周六视察了马尼拉东南部的另一个受灾严重的地区,他说,特拉米带来的暴雨,包括一些地区在短短 24 小时内降雨量相当于 1 到 2 个月的降雨量,淹没了特拉米袭击的省份的防洪设施。 “水太多了,”马科斯告诉记者。 “我们还没有完成救援工作,”他说。“我们这里的问题是,仍然有许多地区被洪水淹没,即使是大卡车也无法进入。” 马科斯说,他的政府将计划开始一项重大的防洪项目,以应对气候变化带来的前所未有的威胁。 政府机构称,超过 420 万人处于风暴路径上,其中近 50 万人逃到了多个省份的 6400 多个应急庇护所,其中大多数人逃到了那里。 在一次紧急内阁会议上,马科斯对政府预报员的报告表示担忧,这些报告称,这场风暴——今年袭击菲律宾的第 11 场风暴——在下周可能会掉头,因为它会被南海的高压风推回来。 如果风暴不偏离航线,预计它将在周末袭击越南。 菲律宾政府周五连续第三天关闭学校和政府部门,以保证吕宋岛北部主要岛屿上数百万人的安全。岛际渡轮服务也被暂停,数千人滞留。 周六,许多地区的降雨天气已经放晴,允许大多数地区的清理工作进行。 每年,约 20 场风暴和台风袭击菲律宾,菲律宾是一个位于太平洋和南海之间的东南亚群岛。2013 年,海燕台风是世界上有记录以来最强的热带气旋之一,造成超过 7300 人死亡或失踪,并夷平了整个村庄。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

人工智能时代,为何娘家姓仍然重要? Latest News

人工智能时代,为何娘家姓仍然重要?

(SeaPRwire) - 如今,女性在是否随夫姓这个问题上正在重新制定规则,这一决定在我们这个科技驱动的世界中有着重大意义。这就是为什么我的公司 The Female Quotient 与 The Knot 和 SmithGeiger 合作进行一项研究,该研究显示 77% 的已婚女性仍然随夫姓,但在未婚女性中,只有 64% 计划在结婚时遵循这一传统。这一转变表明人们越来越意识到姓名对个人身份和职业认可的影响。但它也让我们得以一窥人工智能 (AI) 系统在女性决定放弃娘家姓的情况下如何处理数据的后续影响。 在数字时代,姓名不仅仅是一个标签。它与我们的职业历史和社交媒体形象息息相关。它也是人工智能算法识别我们的方式。当女性改姓时,她经常会失去跨系统的數據連續性,而这些系统很大程度上依赖姓名识别。像求职申请、学籍记录和社交媒体帐户这样的平台往往无法将旧姓名和新姓名联系起来。例如,一位在娘家姓下取得成功的女性可能会发现,人工智能系统难以将其过去的成就与其新姓氏联系起来。多年的辛勤工作和成功可能会突然在机器眼中变得无形。 早在 2014 年,哥伦比亚大学商学院的作家兼教师 Dorie Clark 就曾在 一篇报道 中写道:“如果你决定改名,就会出现一个新问题。你不再被过去困扰,而是变成了一个幽灵,缺乏职业信誉的典型标识(博客文章、媒体报道、发表的文章等等)。” 2022 年,达特茅斯学院环境研究助理教授 Bala Chaudhary 告诉 另一篇报道 “改名在研究人员申请资助或终身教职时尤其成问题,因为审阅者可能会认为研究人员在该领域没有做足够的工作,而实际上他们可能没有评估整个记录。” 我本人就遇到过这个问题。作为我家四个女儿中的一个,如果我选择在结婚后改姓,我不仅会失去我的职业身份,还会失去我的本名——这是我一生中一直使用的名字。我的决定不仅仅是为了维护我的职业生涯;它也关乎维护我已经建立的遗产以及与我名字的联系,而这个名字定义了我的个人和职业旅程。与如今许多女性一样,我知道保留我的娘家姓可以让我与塑造我职业生涯的职业成就保持联系。 虽然 77% 的已婚女性仍然遵循这一传统,但发生着明显的转变,尤其是在年轻一代中。FQ 的报告发现,32% 的未婚 Z 世代女性更关心维护个人品牌,而不是遵守传统习俗,而千禧一代中只有 3%。有趣的是,29% 计划随夫姓的未婚女性在职业生涯中不会使用夫姓,这突出了女性将个人身份和职业身份分离的日益增长的趋势。 这些选择的影响远远超出了个人身份。像 Simone Biles Owens、副总统 Kamala Harris 和 Beyoncé Knowles-Carter 这样的公众人物都保留了娘家姓(或将其与伴侣的姓氏结合使用),表明了独立性和职业生涯的持久性。这种趋势反映在 Selena Gomez 最近的一条推文中,她说:“无论如何我也不会改名。我就是 Selena Gomez。就是这样。” 这些决定强调了在技术在我们的代表方式中发挥越来越重要作用的世界中,保留姓名对维护独立性和连续性的重要性。 我们必须挑战这些传统背后的社会规范。与一方姓氏相关的“先生和夫人”之类的称谓 perpetuate the idea of female subordination. 公共宣传和教育可以帮助改变这些过时的观念。19 世纪著名的女权主义者 Lucy Stone 保留了她的娘家姓,证明了挑战现状可以带来有意义的改变。根据 FQ 的报告,LGBTQIA+ 夫妇也走在这一转变的前沿,其中 18% 选择了非传统的命名方式,进一步挑战了身份与一方姓氏相关的观念。 与此同时,人工智能开发人员必须加倍努力,创建更智能的系统来识别和连接身份变更——无论这些变更涉及改名还是个人品牌重塑。像 LinkedIn 这样的平台已经引入了允许用户记录姓名变更的工具,这是提高数据准确性和工作推荐的关键一步。然而,需要做更多工作来确保人工智能系统不会因女性在姓名和身份方面的个人选择而惩罚她们。 姓名不仅仅是标签——它们是我们身份和职业遗产的组成部分。在结婚后是否保留娘家姓的决定具有深远的意义——对人工智能系统、职业可见性和社会规范都有影响。通过倡导、更智能的人工智能和文化转变来解决这些问题,将确保所有个人,无论他们的姓名如何,都能获得公平的代表和认可。 毕竟,姓名蕴含着力量,而这种力量应该打开大门,而不是关闭大门。现在是时候确保每个人,无论他们选择什么名字,都能充分发挥自己的潜能了。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

解读毒液:最后的舞蹈片尾彩蛋 Latest News

解读毒液:最后的舞蹈片尾彩蛋

(SeaPRwire) - 警告:本文包含《毒液:最后的舞蹈》的剧透。第三部《毒液》电影的副标题可能是《最后的舞蹈》,但就像几乎所有超级英雄电影一样,它以片尾彩蛋结尾,预示着可能会有另一支华尔兹。但这两个片尾彩蛋提出了两个故事情节,它们很可能永远不会被继续——就像索尼的蜘蛛侠宇宙中的大多数片尾彩蛋一样,以及许多其他超级英雄电影。 《毒液:最后的舞蹈》讲述了汤姆·哈迪饰演的艾迪·布洛克和他与之结合的外星共生体(毒液,同样由哈迪配音)的故事。他们从政府机构和一个无法阻挡的外星杀手手中逃脱,穿越了内华达州的沙漠。雷克斯·斯特里克兰指挥官(奇维特尔·埃吉奥福饰)率领特种部队追捕毒液,因为一个名为帝国的组织正试图捕获所有降落在地球上的各种共生体。追捕他们的外星生物也是一种异形,一种由名叫克努尔的超级反派派来的可怕怪物。安迪·瑟金斯扮演克努尔(尽管在电影的大部分时间里你只能看到他的头顶),克努尔比宇宙还早,他创造了所有的共生体,只是为了让它们背叛他并将他囚禁。毒液和艾迪之间的联系是释放他的关键,克努尔派异形来猎杀他们。 到了电影的结尾,毒液和艾迪意识到他们无法阻止异形,即使斯特里克兰意识到共生体是两个邪恶中较小的一个,并提供了帝国的帮助来对抗怪物。只要毒液和艾迪相连,克努尔就有可能被释放,所以毒液最终选择牺牲自己,在一个酸浴中消灭异形,确保克努尔永远被囚禁。电影的结尾是艾迪凝视着自由女神像,同时播放着过去三部电影中他和毒液之间所有美好时光的片段。 但片尾彩蛋表明,我们可能还没有看到克努尔或毒液的最后一面,即使实际上我们很可能已经见过了。 《毒液:最后的舞蹈》片尾彩蛋发生了什么 《毒液:最后的舞蹈》的第一个片尾彩蛋出现在片尾字幕的中途。我们回到了克努尔,他仍然被囚禁在他的王座上,仍然向下看,所以我们只能看到他的头顶和他油腻的长白发。他很生气,他注意到随着毒液的死亡,黑暗之王已经苏醒,没有人可以保护宇宙了。他抬头,我们终于看到了克努尔的容貌,看起来很像电脑生成的奇幻反派,就像来自一个过场动画。 这是非常典型的片尾彩蛋——被击败的反派说“我会回来的”——但在它之前的电影语境中没有意义。毒液死亡的全部意义在于,只要他还活着并与艾迪结合,克努尔就有可能逃脱囚禁。克努尔,他首次出现在 2018 年的漫威漫画中,也被称为“黑暗之王”,所以他没有在嘲笑一些新的、更大的威胁,而只是无能地说我们还没有看到他的最后一面。 第二个也是最后一个片尾彩蛋出现在片尾,这是一个有趣的回调。早些时候在电影中,艾迪和毒液在一家墨西哥度假村的酒吧里让一名酒保吓了一跳,他们用毒液的触手在吧台后面为自己调酒,用毒液的触手翻转(并打碎)了一瓶又一瓶的酒。艾迪离开后,他在吧台上留下了小费——不知不觉地留下了共生体的一部分。几幕之后,雷克斯出现在酒吧,收集了共生体样本,并带走了酒保进行审问。他直到片尾彩蛋才再次被提及或出现,在那里,迷茫的酒保从 51 区的废墟中踉跄而出,想知道究竟发生了什么。当这种情况发生时,一只蟑螂爬过装着共生体样本的破碎玻璃瓶,暗示着,就像一只蟑螂一样,毒液比你想象的更难杀死。 这再次是片尾彩蛋的典型风格——一个有趣的玩笑,加上一个小小的暗示,表明英雄还活着。它还有额外的好处,它不像克努尔的场景那样要求续集。毒液可能并没有死!这不是很好吗?这与克努尔,这个在这部电影中实际上并没有做什么的反派,说他现在要真正做点什么。猜猜我们将在下一部电影中找到答案?这句话是截然不同的。 迄今为止,《毒液》系列电影是索尼的蜘蛛侠宇宙电影中票房最成功,在一定程度上也是最受好评的。《最后的舞蹈》的票房追踪,尤其是在海外,预计将超过 1.5 亿美元,因此有可能会有第四部电影——尽管谁知道哈迪是否愿意第四次共舞。除了片尾彩蛋之外,电影的结尾听起来确实很肯定。如果没有续集,克努尔的大吹大擂将加入《蛛丝》中关于蜘蛛侠团队的暗示的行列,而这个团队肯定会永远不会再出现新的冒险(再多的钱也无法让悉尼·斯威尼在《蛛丝 2》中扮演一个配角);还有《莫比亚斯》中令人困惑的多元宇宙跨越迈克尔·基顿客串。 片尾彩蛋的死胡同趋势也延伸到了索尼的蜘蛛侠电影之外。漫威电影宇宙中许多最近的作品也以暗示结尾,而这些暗示根据电影的评价来看,似乎不太可能被重新审视。还记得哈里·斯泰尔斯出现在《永恒族》中吗?或者赫拉克勒斯出现在《雷神:爱与雷霆》中吗?或者凯尔西·格拉默在《惊奇队长2》结束后再次穿上蓝色妆容扮演野兽吗? 随着超级英雄电影的未来似乎不像过去二十年来那样确定,片尾彩蛋(通常是为了设定未来而存在)也陷入困境,这是很自然的。《毒液:最后的舞蹈》有片尾彩蛋,因为这就是超级英雄电影的做法。这些场景是否会在未来起作用,似乎特别令人怀疑。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) - 2023 年 8 月,夏威夷小镇拉海纳遭受了前所未有的灾难,大火从社区中心蔓延到茂宜岛海岸线,造成 101 人死亡,超过 2200 座建筑被毁。2021 年 12 月爆发的 同样造成了类似的破坏:大火在 1 小时内席卷了 3 英里,烧毁了 1000 多栋房屋。 更甚于此,它在燃烧的第一天就吞噬了 16,000 栋房屋,烧毁了近 52,000 英亩土地。 除了死亡、破坏和重建成本之外,最令人担忧的指标可能不是火灾造成的破坏程度,而是火灾以及其他野火蔓延的速度之快。在气候变化时代,或许这种极快的破坏速度应该成为美国特大火灾的新标志。以这种方式理解这些事件可以更好地帮助社会为其做好准备并防止其发生。 这是 发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究的结论,该研究使用 NASA 卫星数据调查了 2001 年至 2020 年美国发生的 66,000 多起野火。研究人员发现,虽然只有 1,616 起火灾(即 2.7%)达到了快速增长率(FGR)火灾的标准——研究人员将其定义为每天蔓延超过 4,000 英亩的火灾——但它们却造成了 78% 的建筑物被毁、66% 的死亡人数和 61% 的灭火成本,即 189 亿美元。这些快速蔓延的火灾在 21 世纪的头 20 年中,发生频率增加了近 250%,其中加利福尼亚州的峰值日增长率增长了 398%。 “现代的特大火灾往往根据火灾的大小来定义,”科罗拉多大学博尔德分校地理学副教授詹妮弗·巴尔奇和她的同事在新的研究中写道,“但它应该根据火灾蔓延的速度及其对社会的影响来定义。” 虽然大型火灾会对空气质量、生态系统和温室气体排放产生重大影响,但快速蔓延的火灾对基础设施破坏、疏散工作以及最终的死亡人数的影响最大。 该研究中使用的数据来自 在 NASA 的地球观测 和 卫星上进行的几代人的观测。观察到的火灾造成 337 人死亡、5,623 人受伤,并发布了 925 份紧急疏散令,影响了超过 150 万户家庭,其中一半在距离 FGR 火灾不到 1 英里的范围内。总共有 300 万座建筑物位于此类火灾 2.5 英里范围内。 与其他许多环境巨变一样,气候变化正在助长这些快速蔓延的火灾。炎热、干燥和多风的天气特别容易导致野火迅速蔓延。虽然这种致命事件已经显著增加,但作者引用了气候模型,这些模型预测,随着环境进一步升温、变干和多风,此类特大火灾的数量将增加 50% 到 250%。研究指出,草原特别容易发生快速蔓延的火灾,因为它拥有“精细、易燃的燃料”。 为快速蔓延的火灾做好准备需要采取一些简单的措施。作者建议改变建筑规范,鼓励在建筑物中使用耐火材料;清除建筑物附近易燃物质,如灌木丛和干草;提前规划紧急疏散;并在社区周围开挖无燃料防火带。 “随着气温升高,美国各地发生野火的可能性越来越大,”研究人员写道,“我们预计未来将出现更多快速蔓延的火灾事件。毁灭性和快速移动的野火……表明我们必须为火灾速度加快做好准备。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Machine learning can predict the mechanical properties of polymers ACN Newswire

Machine learning can predict the mechanical properties of polymers

TSUKUBA, Japan, Oct 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars. Because of their ubiquity, it’s vital that materials scientists know exactly how each newly developed polymer will perform under different preparation conditions. Thanks to a new study, which was published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, scientists can now use machine learning to determine what to expect from a new polymer.Machine learning predicts the material properties of new polymers with high accuracy, providing a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods.Predicting the mechanical properties of new polymers, such as their tensile strength or flexibility, usually involves putting them through destructive and costly physical tests. However, a team of researchers from Japan, led by Dr. Ryo Tamura, Dr. Kenji Nagata, and Dr. Takashi Nakanishi from the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, showed that machine learning can predict the material properties of polymers. They developed the method on a group of polymers called homo-polypropylenes, using X-ray diffraction patterns of the polymers under different preparation conditions to provide detailed information about their complex structure and features.“Machine learning can be applied to data from existing materials to predict the properties of unknown materials,” Drs. Tamura, Nagata, and Nakanishi explain. “However, to achieve accurate predictions, it’s essential to use descriptors that correctly represent the features of these materials.”Thermoplastic crystalline polymers, such as polypropylene, have a particularly complex structure that is further altered during the process of molding them into the shape of the end product. It was, therefore, important for the team to adequately capture the details of the polymers’ structure with X-ray diffraction and to ensure that the machine learning algorithm could identify the most important descriptors in that data.The new method accurately captured the structural changes of commonly used plastic Polypropylene during the molding process into the end product.To that end, they analysed two datasets using a tool called Bayesian spectral deconvolution, which can extract patterns from complex data. The first dataset was X-ray diffraction data from 15 types of homo-polypropylenes subjected to a range of temperatures, and the second was data from four types of homo-polypropylenes that underwent injection molding. The mechanical properties analysed included stiffness, elasticity, the temperature at which the material starts to deform, and how much it would stretch before breaking.The team found that the machine learning analysis accurately linked features in the X-ray diffraction imagery with specific material properties of the polymers. Some of the mechanical properties were easier to predict from the X-ray diffraction data, while others, such as the stretching break point, were more challenging.“We believe our study, which describes the procedure used to provide a highly accurate machine learning prediction model using only the X-ray diffraction results of polymer materials, will offer a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods,” the NIMS researchers say.The team also suggested that their Bayesian spectral deconvolution approach could be applied to other data, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and used to understand the properties of other materials, both inorganic and organic.“It could become a test case for future data-driven approaches to polymer design and science,” the NIMS team says.Further informationRyo TamuraNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)tamura.ryo@nims.go.jpKenji NagataNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nagata.kenji@nims.go.jpTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2024.2388016About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Title showdown beckons for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing JCN Newswire

Title showdown beckons for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

TOKYO, Oct 25, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is ready for an FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title showdown when a rollercoaster 2024 season reaches its climax in the 8 Hours of Bahrain on Saturday 2 November.The team heads into the season’s eighth and final race with a mission to retain its manufacturers’ World Championship against strong competition from Ferrari and Porsche. In the seven races so far, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has earned two victories, and a win in Bahrain will guarantee the title for the sixth successive season.Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries retain a slim chance of the drivers’ title but to do so, they must win the race, alongside #7 GR010 HYBRID team-mate Mike Conway, and hope the #6 Porsche crew fail to score points. Last year’s Bahrain winners, and outgoing drivers’ World Champions, Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa will fight for their second win of the season in their #8 GR010 HYBRID in Saturday’s race, which begins in daylight and ends after sunset.TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has a formidable record at the Bahrain International Circuit, having won the last seven WEC races there, including six consecutive one-two finishes. In total it has won nine of its 12 races in the island kingdom, earning six pole positions and five front-row lock-outs.The challenge is tougher than ever this year against an 18-strong Hypercar field including title rivals Ferrari and Porsche, who are both are in the fight for the drivers’ and manufacturers’ crowns. Alpine, BMW, Cadillac and Peugeot showed speed at Fuji Speedway and are expected to join an exciting battle for honours.The 5.412km Bahrain International Circuit is the traditional venue for WEC’s season finale, having hosted the last race in eight of the 11 seasons since WEC’s return in 2012. Its 15-turn lay-out features a mix of high-speed and slower corners and is renowned for being abrasive with high grip levels, creating a particular challenge in terms of tyre management.Practice for the Saturday race begins on Thursday with two 90-minute sessions, one in daylight and the other under lights, and concludes on Friday. The grid will be decided during the qualifying and Hyperpole sessions, starting at 4.40pm local time (2.40pm CET) on Friday, while the 8 Hours of Bahrain starts at 2pm (midday CET) on Saturday.The track action continues on Sunday with the traditional rookie test, when Esteban Masson will drive a GR010 HYBRID for the first time as part of the team’s commitment to giving opportunities to young, upcoming drivers. The 20-year-old Frenchman has impressed this season driving the #87 Lexus RC F LMGT3 entered by the AKKODIS ASP Team in WEC’s LMGT3 category. If TOYOTA GAZOO Racing wins the manufacturers’ title, 21-year-old European Le Mans Series racer Reshad de Gerus will also test a GR010 HYBRID as the WEC-nominated rookie.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“It’s the end of an exciting and challenging season. As a team we have enjoyed some great moments as well also some difficult ones, like the last race at Fuji Speedway. The competition has been incredibly tough all season but thanks to the big effort from everyone, we go into the last race with the destiny of the manufacturers’ World Championship still in our control. We know that a win will give us the title so that is our target, and everyone will give their maximum to achieve it. We need a perfect weekend and we’re ready for the challenge.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“I enjoy racing in Bahrain. It’s a fun track to drive and a place which has given me some great memories; I won my first race with Toyota back in 2014 as well as my two drivers’ titles there. As a team we also have a successful record in Bahrain and we want to keep that going this year, even though we expect another close fight because Porsche and Ferrari will be strong again. We’ll have to be at the top of our game, but we’ve prepared well and we’re looking forward to it.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“It’s the final race of my first season as a TOYOTA GAZOO Racing race driver and we still have the manufacturers’ World Championship to fight for so I can’t wait for Bahrain. I know the track well from other series and I tested a TS050 HYBRID there all the way back in 2019 during the rookie test, which kind of started my story with the team. So, it’s nice to be going back there as a Toyota race driver. Fuji was tough for us, but it was another strong team effort and we’re ready to go again.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“I always enjoy going to Bahrain. It’s a great circuit, with nice facilities and good weather, plus some of my family live there so it almost feels like a home race. The circuit is fun, particularly the high-speed section from turn five, because it’s fast and flowing before the hairpin, where there’s a chance to overtake. It’s an unusual race because it runs into the night, so the temperature changes quite a bit. That makes it more challenging to find the right set-up so we will work closely on that in practice.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“Bahrain is the last race of an exciting season, and we go there fighting for the manufacturers’ World Championship, which is one of the team’s big targets every year. Historically we have gone well in Bahrain and the circuit always seemed to suit our car, so hopefully that’s a positive sign for the coming week. It’s a longer race than normal so it’s more important than ever to execute a clean race and get our strategies right. I know the whole team has worked hard to prepare and we can’t wait to get started.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“Our aim in Bahrain is to win the race and therefore the World Championship but it will not be easy. Our competitors were strong at Fuji, and we expect another challenging race, but we are fighting as hard as possible, and we will not give up. We have to be fully concentrated all weekend to get the maximum performance from our car. If we do that, we have a chance, so we will keep pushing to end the season on a high and give our all supporters and partners a result to cheer.”About Toyota Toyota strives to be a strong corporate citizen, engaging with and earning the trust of its stakeholders, and to contribute to the creation of a prosperous society through all its business operations.Our corporate principles form the basis of our initiatives, reflect values that enable action, and drive our mindset.For the latest Toyota-related news and information:https://tinyurl.com/ToyotaPressReleasenewsroom@global.toyota Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Joint proposal by NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile adopted as Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications/NICT’s “Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G” for social implementation and overseas expansion oriented strategic program (common infrastructure technology establishment)

TOKYO, Oct 25, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT Corporation, KDDI Corporation, KDDI Research, Inc. participating in research and development as a research collaborator, Fujitsu Limited, NEC Corporation, and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. were selected by the Japan-based National Institute of Information and Communications Technology to conduct newly commissioned research in FY 2024 pertaining to a strategic program oriented toward social implementation and overseas expansion (common infrastructure technology establishment) for the Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G.Through this research and development, the above parties will develop a technology that enables users to simultaneously use multiple cloud data centers and to switch connection destinations flexibly, in addition to ensuring fault tolerance and service quality assurance through cooperation among All-Photonics Networks (hereinafter "APN") of multiple providers. We will also develop a small APN node that will enable APN deployment at rural data centers and small and medium-sized sites.In the Beyond 5G/6G era, society's informatization will accelerate further, and enormous information processing will be required. The need for APNs is growing as demand is expected to increase for the further expansion of transmission capacity and higher processing speed for existing information and communications systems, as well as for technologies that provide the lower power consumption required for carbon neutrality. Under such circumstances, discussions on providing APNs widely to society were held by Japan’s Technology Strategy Committee of the Information and Communications Technology Subcommittee of the Information and Communications Council and the All-Optical Network Common Infrastructure Technology Working Group established under this committee. As a result, the idea that it is necessary to connect multiple sites simultaneously and to have functions to collaborate among providers was expressed in the reports "Information and Communications Technology Strategy Toward Beyond 5G" (June 2024)1 and "Development Direction and Dissemination Measures for All-Photonics Network Common Infrastructure Technology" (May 2024)2. In order to develop this technology, NICT has solicited proposals for the Beyond 5G (6G) Fund Project, to which NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile jointly submitted proposals.On October 22, 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and NICT announced the results of their selection for the "Beyond 5G (6G) Fund Project" as a social implementation and overseas expansion oriented strategic program (common infrastructure technology establishment), and the above five companies were selected to implement the program.This research and development will enable APNs from multiple providers to cooperate to ensure fault tolerance and service quality assurance, as well as enable users to simultaneously use multiple cloud data centers and switch connection destinations flexibly. The above parties are also planning to develop a small APN node, which will enable the deployment of APNs in regional data centers and small and medium-sized sites.The following items will be addressed in this research and development:R&D Item 1: Develop overall APN architectureR&D Item 2: Research and develop common APN infrastructure technology(a) Photonic network federation technologyAPI functions for accepting communication user's requests and function for reliable and stable interconnection between APNs of various carriers according to communication user's requests (e.g. destination, communication quality).(b) Subchannel circuit exchange technologyEnables the simultaneous use of multiple clouds and data centers as well as flexible switching, when accommodating many communication users, ensuring communication quality (required bandwidth, delay, and jitter) by E2E according to the requirements of each communication user.(c)Distributed ROADM technology3An interface function that enables the simple operation of network nodes equipped with only a part of the main functions (wavelength insertion/branching and multiplexing functions) of the current ROADM, which enables the downsizing of APN nodes and the deployment of APN in rural data centers and small and medium-sized sites. It also provides a cooperation function between the ROADM node with the main functions and the downsized APN node being considered for installation.Figure 1: Overview of R&D Activities for Common Infrastructure TechnologyWhen the outcomes of this research and development are implemented in society, APNs of various providers, including different communication carriers, can be used seamlessly. For example, it will enable high-speed, low-latency simultaneous connection to multiple providers that provide AI, cloud, and other services, as well as flexible selection and switching of connection destinations. The five companies will collaborate to realize such a society.1. www.soumu.go.jp/menu_news/s-news/01tsushin03_02000402.html2. www.soumu.go.jp/menu_news/s-news/01tsushin03_02000400.html3.

风暴袭击菲律宾北部,造成 82 人死亡,但预报员警告称风暴可能回旋

(SeaPRwire) - 马尼拉,菲律宾——热带风暴特拉米于周五从菲律宾西北部吹走,造成至少 82 人死于山体滑坡和洪水,洪水迫使当局争先恐后地寻找更多救援船只来拯救数千名受困的惊恐民众,有些人被困在屋顶上。 但这场攻击可能还没有结束:国家气象预报员提出了一个罕见的可能性,即这场风暴——今年袭击菲律宾的第 11 场风暴,也是最致命的一场风暴之一——可能在下周因南中国海的高气压风而掉头返回。 菲律宾一名省级警察局长周五表示,特拉米在马尼拉以南的八打雁省引发的山体滑坡造成 49 人死亡。这使得这场风暴造成的死亡人数至少达到 82 人。 在八打雁省,还有 11 名村民失踪,马利瑙中校在电话中告诉美联社,他在塔利赛湖边小镇,站在一位村民旁边,他的妻子和孩子被埋在深厚的泥土、巨石和树木堆中。 警察使用挖掘机和铲子拼命搜寻 10 英尺(3 米)深的泥土、岩石和碎石,找到了一个头部和脚的一部分,显然是失踪妇女和孩子的遗体。 “他简直崩溃了,”马利瑙谈到这位村民,他是一位渔民,他的妻子和孩子在周四下午暴雨中发生的滑坡中被埋葬,当时他不在家,在湖中照看鱼笼。 “他处于震惊状态,说不出话来,我们只能让他指认他们卧室的位置,以便我们在那部分进行挖掘,”马利瑙说。 这场风暴最后一次被追踪到周五下午,距离菲律宾西北部伊洛科斯苏尔省以西 410 公里(255 英里),持续风速高达 95 公里/小时(59 英里/小时),阵风高达 115 公里/小时(78 英里/小时)。它正以 30 公里/小时(19 英里/小时)的速度向西北方向移动,朝越南方向移动,预计如果它按计划前进,将在周日开始袭击越南。 然而,菲律宾气象局表示,南中国海的高气压风和其他天气因素可能会迫使风暴回转,向菲律宾方向移动。 总统小费迪南德·马科斯听起来很生气,在周五与内阁成员和灾难应对官员召开的紧急会议上询问了这种可能性,讨论了对这场大范围破坏的应对措施。 “它的预测是什么?它可能返回吗?”马科斯问道。 一位政府气象预报员告诉他,特拉米可能在下周初转向菲律宾西部,但更有可能再次从菲律宾吹走,不会登陆。 “它不必登陆就能造成破坏,”马科斯说,并提到了特拉米在菲律宾引发的持续降雨。 马科斯还提到了太平洋上正在酝酿的另一场风暴,这可能会再次威胁到该国。 “哦,上帝,这就是现实,我们只能应对它,”马科斯说。 国家气象预报员乔弗伦·哈巴卢亚斯告诉美联社,特拉米可能回转引起了亚洲政府气象专家,包括来自日本的专家的兴趣,日本一直在向菲律宾提供信息,帮助追踪风暴。 这 82 人的风暴死亡人数中包括 26 名村民,他们死于受灾严重的比科尔地区的洪水和山体滑坡,该地区是马尼拉东南部的农业区和旅游目的地,因马荣火山而闻名,该火山是该国 24 座最活跃火山之一,拥有近乎完美的圆锥形。 根据马利瑙和民防办公室的数据,至少有 27 人在几个省份失踪,其中包括八打雁省的 17 人。 虽然特拉米没有增强为台风,但它在一些地区倾倒了异常强烈的降雨,包括一些地区在 24 小时内降雨量相当于一到两个月的降雨量,造成山洪暴发,淹没了社区。 纳迦市,那里有 11 人死于溺水,以及卡马利内斯苏尔省和阿尔拜省的周边省份的官员在袭击的高峰期呼吁提供更多救援船只,以到达被困在自己家高层或屋顶上的人们,因为洪水正在上涨。 在阿尔拜省马荣火山的山麓地区,泥土和其他碎石随着风暴的袭击,倾泻到附近的城镇,将房屋和汽车淹没在黑色的泥石流中。 灾难缓解官员表示,这场洪灾影响了超过 260 万人,近 32 万人逃往疏散中心或亲戚家中。 政府周五第三天关闭了学校和政府办公室,以确保数百万人在吕宋岛北部主岛的安全。岛际渡轮服务也被暂停,导致数千人被困。 在越南,国家气象预报员警告中部地区将出现强降雨。总理范明政下令沿海省份保持警惕,密切关注特拉米的路径,并为突发事件做好准备。 越南政府的一份报告显示,上个月,台风雅吉袭击了越南,造成 323 人死亡,损失价值 33 亿美元。 每年,约 20 场风暴和台风袭击菲律宾,菲律宾是一个位于太平洋和南中国海之间的东南亚群岛国家。2013 年,台风海燕是记录在案的最强热带气旋之一,造成 7300 多人死亡或失踪,摧毁了整个村庄。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Military Metals Adds Key Ground at Its West Gore Antimony Property, Signs Binding LOI to Acquire Additional Claims ACN Newswire

Military Metals Adds Key Ground at Its West Gore Antimony Property, Signs Binding LOI to Acquire Additional Claims

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 24, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTC Pink: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") announces it has signed a binding LOI to acquire further claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project ("West Gore" or the "Project") to consolidate the mineralized area. West Gore is a brownfield project with past production, historical high-grade drill results include 7.07 metres of 10.6 gpt gold and 3.4% antimony. During a period of production, it was Canada's most prominent antimony mine.West Gore consists of four Exploration Licenses comprising 585 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada, and the newly acquired ground adds 388 hectares to the immediate northwest of the Project, comprising the balance of the West Gore antimony-gold mineralized system and its historical mine workings. The Company has a three-year option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses for $235,000 spread over the term and the sellers will receive a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") with standard buy-back provisions. It is anticipated the Company will announce the Definitive Agreement within ten days.The historical West Gore mines have a mining history dating back to 1883 and were a significant source of antimony during the First World War, most of which was shipped to England. Total production of gold and antimony between 1883 and 1917, the last recorded year of production, remains unknown. However, between 1914 and 1917 alone, nearly 32,000 metric tons were mined yielding over 7,000 metric tons of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony. The total amount of gold recovered up to 1917 was estimated to be nearly 6,900 ounces. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, the 1980s, and again over the past few years, the West Gore system remains essentially unexplored.With the acquisition of the new claims the Company has gained complete coverage over the entire mineralized system including all the historical mine workings and known antimony-gold occurrences with additional ground along trend in both directions as exhibited in Map 1 below. This in turn enables the Company to approach this antimony-gold system in its entirety to unlock future value. All relevant data are in the process of being compiled into an integrated digital database, with exploration plans to follow.Map 1: West Gore Project ClaimsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/227668_841965127489abc4_001full.jpgAntimony-gold mineralization at West Gore is hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the lower units of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation that were deformed into a northeast-trending, upright, closed syncline and metamorphosed to greenschist facies during the regional Acadian orogeny. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides. Whereas the fold belt strikes northeast-southwest, mineralized structures trend northwest-southeast.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.
