A recent study suggests that authoritarian leaders are most likely to initiate major democratic reforms when they possess a ...

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

A University of Houston researcher and his collaborators have developed a mathematical model that helps identify whether a ...

Mathematical models can be useful to developmental biologists, in particular in helping to bridge the gap in understanding between proposed molecular interactions inside and between cells and their ...

Every day, fish caught in oceans and seas around the world pass through a long journey before reaching supermarkets, ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers used a novel mathematical model to simulate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) dynamics inside the host.

A new study explains why certain patients develop severe infections after chemotherapy and points to ways of averting this side-effect. Cancer chemotherapy can be a life-saver, but it is fraught with ...

A new mathematical model may help doctors learn more about the risk factors and causes of glaucoma, including the mechanisms affecting blood flow to the eye. The research will be presented today at ...

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists ...

The back of a tiger could have been a blank canvas. Instead, nature painted the big cat with parallel stripes, evenly spaced and perpendicular to the spine. Scientists don't know exactly how stripes ...
