Data curation is a field with origins in librarianship and archives, whose scholarship and thinking on data issues go back centuries, if not millennia.

At a recent artificial intelligence global summit, Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing encouraged other countries to embrace accessibility to Chinese artificial intelligence technology, such as the DeepSeek chatbot, in their domestic markets. Zhang claimed China's goal was to share achievements among nations and build "a community with a shared future for mankind" while safeguarding security. The United States must not fall for yet another trick by China. DeepSeek is a dangerous weapon that is almost certainly part of China's Unrestricted Warfare Doctrine. The concept of "Unrestricted Warfare" was created by two People's Liberation Army officers, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, in 1999.

This Simulation Assessment Guidelines document is a public guidelines document developed by the Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of AVs - NTU (CETRAN) in collaboration with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore. It is primarily intended to help the developers of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) in Singapore to prepare their software simulations and provide recommendations that can ensure their readiness for independent assessment of their virtual simulation results according to the Milestone-testing framework adopted by the assessor and the local authority in Singapore, namely, CETRAN and LTA respectively.

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a useful sensing technique and an important source of data for autonomous vehicles (AVs). In this publication we present the results of a study undertaken to understand the impact of automotive paint on LiDAR performance along with a methodology used to conduct this study. Our approach consists of evaluating the average reflected intensity output by different LiDAR sensor models when tested with different types of automotive paints. The paints were chosen to represent common paints found on vehicles in Singapore. The experiments were conducted with LiDAR sensors commonly used by autonomous vehicle (AV) developers and OEMs. The paints used were also selected based on those observed in real-world conditions. This stems from a desire to model real-world performance of actual sensing systems when exposed to the physical world. The goal is then to inform regulators of AVs in Singapore of the impact of automotive paint on LiDAR performance, so that they can determine testing standards and specifications which will better reflect real-world performance and also better assess the adequacy of LiDAR systems installed for local AV operations. The tests were conducted for a combination of 13 different paint panels and 3 LiDAR sensors. In general, it was observed that darker coloured paints have lower reflection intensity whereas lighter coloured paints exhibited higher intensity values.

The Apollo 11 moon landing was a seminal event in American history, one etched deeply into our nation's collective psyche. The event ushered in an era of unbridled possibilities -- the stars were finally coming into reach -- and its effects were felt across the culture, from art and fashion to politics and culture. In After Apollo: Cultural Legacies of the Race to the Moon, a multidisciplinary collection of historians, researchers and academics explore the myriad ways that putting a man on the moon impacted the American Experience.

From NASA's very beginnings, immigrant engineers, scientists, and technicians lent their talent, labor, and technical skills to the space program.
