All species have an environmental niche, and despite technological advances, humans are
unlikely to be an exception. Here, we demonstrate that for millennia, human populations …

We report here that BID, a BH3 domain–containing proapoptotic Bcl2 family member, is a
specific proximal substrate of Casp8 in the Fas apoptotic signaling pathway. While full-length …

We propose a noniterative solution for the Perspective-n-Point ({\rm P}n{\rm P}) problem,
which can robustly retrieve the optimum by solving a seventh order polynomial. The central …

The recent mass mortality event of more than 330 African elephants in Botswana has been
attributed to biotoxins produced by cyanobacteria; however, scientific evidence for this is …

Prudent risk management requires consideration of bad-to-worst-case scenarios. Yet, for
climate change, such potential futures are poorly understood. Could anthropogenic climate …

The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked
1 , 2 – 3 , yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they …

Semantic occupancy perception is essential for autonomous driving, as automated vehicles
require a fine-grained perception of the 3D urban structures. However, existing relevant …

The costs of climate change are often estimated in monetary terms, but this raises ethical
issues. Here we express them in terms of numbers of people left outside the ‘human climate …

We tackle the practical problem of hand pose estimation from a single noisy depth image. A
dedicated three-step pipeline is proposed: Initial estimation step provides an initial …

Mortality due to opioid use has grown to the point where, for the first time in history, opioid-related
deaths exceed those caused by car accidents in many states in the United States. …
