Warwick UK (SPX) Apr 26, 2020 One of the most promising theories for the evolution of human speech has finally received support from chimpanzee communication, in a study conducted by a group of researchers led by the University of Warwick. The evolution of speech is one of the longest-standing puzzles of evolution. However, inklings of a possible solution started emerging some years ago when monkey … Continue reading Chimpanzees help trace the evolution of human speech back to ancient ancestors

It is true that the U.S. economy never has faced the challenges it faces now, but the implications for e-commerce and direct-to-consumers’ fulfillment functions are particularly significant. This is clearly demonstrated by the federal government’s determination that companies that ship goods directly to people’s homes are an essential service and, as such, are permitted to continue operating. http://dlvr.it/RX0BYB Continue reading 4 Key E-Commerce Fulfillment Strategies During the COVID-19 Pandemic

A pandemic, economic uncertainty and social distancing — what a kerfuffle we are in. As marketing leaders, it’s an incredibly difficult time to direct our teams. Yet, while we’re all figuring out how to juggle emotions, families, dogs, toilet paper shortages, and a calendar full of conference calls, the revenue team has to press on in building pipeline and establishing predictable growth. http://dlvr.it/RXcxBg Continue reading How to Create Valuable Customer Conversations

Building a successful global business is a never-ending juggling act. With what can seem like an unlimited number of moving parts, compromises feel inevitable. Efficiency is traded for simplicity. Optimal long-term solutions are traded for quick and dirty fixes. These tradeoffs can be especially problematic for e-commerce businesses. Inefficiencies aren’t just theoretical problems. http://dlvr.it/RY6tq5 Continue reading Blueprint for Building a Global Commerce Site

Bremen, Germany (SPX) Mar 27, 2020 You may like them or not, but almost everyone knows them: brown algae such as Fucus vesiculosus, commonly known as bladderwrack, grow along the entire German coast. Giant kelp like Macrocystis or Sargassum grow closely together along the coasts but can also form floating aggregates that can cover the Atlantic from west to east. Some ecologists see this this … Continue reading Sugar turns brown algae into good carbon stores

COVID-19’s rampage is causing the electronics industry to suffer supply chain setbacks. Product innovation remains incredibly important in today’s new normal, but electronics industry product launches have been delayed or canceled due to the pandemic, suggests a new study. COVID-19 also has led to increased component costs, the need to rework products, and the inability to fill customer orders. http://dlvr.it/RXXBcJ Continue reading Report: Shortages Threaten Electronics Supply Chain

Los Alamos NM (SPX) Mar 10, 2020 For the first time, seismologists can characterize signals as a result of some industrial human activity on a continent-wide scale using cloud computing. In two recently published papers in Seismological Research Letters, scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory demonstrate how previously characterized “noise” can now be viewed as a specific signal in a large geographical area thanks to … Continue reading New technique separates industrial noise from natural seismic signals

Beijing, China (SPX) Mar 5, 2020 If we took a journey from Earth’s surface to the center, the midway point locates roughly at 1900 km depth in the lower mantle. The lower mantle ranges from 660 to 2900 km depth and occupies 55% of our planet by volume. The chemical composition of the lower mantle is rather simple. It has long been pictured as being … Continue reading The lower mantle can be oxidized in the presence of water

Beijing, China (SPX) May 27, 2020 Using biologically inspired robotic swarms consisting of large groups of robots that have been programmed to operate cooperatively, much like individuals in an ant or bee colony, scientists from the University of Colorado demonstrate that the locally observed distribution of robots can be correlated to the location of environmental features, such as exits in office-like environments.
