Google is to start alerting drivers when they approach U.S. railroad crossings to help curb a rise in accidents.
“Grade” or “level” crossings are the points where a railway track intersects with a public or private road. Trains traverse more than 212,000 such crossings in the U.S. each day, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which led to around 270 deaths in 2014 — a 9 percent rise on the previous year.
Accidents are typically caused by human error, and with many railroad crossings there aren’t any barriers or lights between the road and the railway track, leaving it entirely up to the visual attentiveness of the driver to spot a road sign.
Un estudio sobre "Dinamismo empresarial, creación de riqueza y empleo" realizado, a iniciativa propia, por el Consejo Económico y Social (CES) vasco revela entre 2009 y 2013 se registró una pérdida neta de 28.283 empresas en Euskadi y que el emprendimiento en Euskadi es inferior a la media española (4,4% frente
El trabajo incluye un análisis comparativo con tres regiones europeas: Baden-Württemberg, Flandes y Emilia Romagna, que comparten con Euskadi un elevado nivel de autonomía política y un notable peso de la actividad industrial y de apertura al exterior.

Since about 2010, a critical mass of national leaders, policy professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, thinkers and writers have all but demanded a transformation of the humble lithium-ion cell. Only batteries that can store a lot more energy for a lower price, they have said, will allow for affordable electric cars, cheaper and more widely available electricity, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. In the process, a lot of gazillionaires will be created.

Imagine this scenario: A gunshot echoes down a city street at night. Passerby turn to look, but can’t make out the scene in the darkness. The first to react effectively is the nearest street lamp. It hears the gun and automatically goes to full brightness to illuminate the scene, film the attacker and call the emergency services – all in an instant.
Or how about medical emergencies? An intelligent lighting system could be a central part of the healthcare infrastructure, serving as network through which hospital managers receive updates in real time about a patient’s location and status. It could significantly improve the quality of medical care and speed up response time.
Attempting to chart a path forward for the beleaguered biofuels industry, a group of researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley, have devised what they describe as a novel method for producing renewable jet fuel. Using sugarcane and the sugarcane waste called bagasse, the new process (described in a paper in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) could enable green refineries to put out a range of products, including bio-based aviation fuel and automotive lubricant base oils.
