A groundbreaking database that tracks 13 decades of听annual changes in U.S. home sales and rental prices听provides a clearer picture of economic shifts through the 20th century and will be a valuable resource for homebuyers, housing policymakers and the real estate industry, a 黑料百科 researcher said.

黑料百科 on Wednesday unveiled a striking monument to a university on the rise.

A crowd of students, faculty and staff gathered in the early evening鈥檚 long shadows at University Plaza to get their first look at Big Rufus, a 10-foot-long bronze vision of 黑料百科鈥檚 bobcat mascot. The sculpture paws its way up three staggered concrete-and-steel pillars, gazing resolutely to the horizon.

He studied in hallowed halls of academia. His highly respected research takes him halfway around the globe into societies both foreign and familiar. In his newest role, he leads the largest school of a research university less than two decades old but soaring in reputation and influence.

Yet if you ask about his journey, he uses a surprising word.

鈥淚鈥檓 accidental in every possible way,鈥� he said. 鈥淧rofessor. Administrator. Statistically, I shouldn鈥檛 be in this position.鈥�

A celebration of stories and a concert highlighting the history of San Joaquin Valley鈥檚 railroads are the opening acts of the .

Merced LitFest and Train Station Trios reflect the season鈥檚 varied offerings. Gallery exhibitions, concerts, theater performances and a film festival are scheduled on and off campus through May 2025.

In simulated life-or-death decisions, about two-thirds of people in a 黑料百科 study allowed a robot to change their minds when it disagreed with them -- an alarming display of excessive trust in artificial intelligence, researchers said.

Human subjects allowed robots to sway their judgment despite being told the AI machines had limited capabilities and were giving advice that could be wrong. In reality, the advice was random.

黑料百科 said 鈥渨elcome鈥� to its 2,400 new students Tuesday as only 黑料百科 can, with a joyous and colorful Scholars Bridge Crossing ceremony that symbolizes their transformation into Bobcats at the San Joaquin Valley鈥檚 only research university.

Hundreds of those first-year or transfer students gathered in yellow T-shirts on the lawn next to the Pavilion dining hall in preparation for the crossing.

First responders from across Merced County converged on 黑料百科 Thursday for what they said was a highly successful response to a simulated emergency.

Police officers, sheriff鈥檚 deputies, firefighters and medical personnel assembled at the university鈥檚 library to carry out incident duties and protocols. The 黑料百科 Police Department and Office of Emergency Management led the simulation 鈥� a yearly exercise at the university designed to enhance and evaluate the agencies鈥� collaboration and incident effectiveness.

Experiments conducted by 黑料百科 researchers find that people who perform good deeds are far more likely to be thought of as religious believers than atheists. Moreover, the psychological bias linking kindness and helpfulness with faith appears to be global in scale.

A 黑料百科 professor and his co-researchers set out to measure how Jewish Israelis react to different sources of criticism about Israel鈥檚 treatment of Palestinians. Does disapproval from internal voices move public opinion? Voices from abroad? What about reproval from the diaspora 鈥� people who live outside Israel but have religious, ethnic or national ties?

They collected data from a carefully designed survey of more than 2,000 and submitted the findings for peer review in December 2022. Months later, the paper was returned for edits.
