This trend, present for over a decade, grew notably due to factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and the opioid crisis.Published in JAMA Internal Medicine on November...
Life is perceived as a system perpetually defying equilibrium in thermodynamics, steadfastly opposing the relentless march toward chaos. This defiance embodies the essence of irreversibility, establishing an indelible connection between life and the ‘arrow of time,’ a concept introduced by the English physicist Arthur Eddington in 1927. Unlocking Temporal Asymmetry A groundbreaking effort by...
In a groundbreaking development within the field of Mathematical Science, Professor Kyudong Choi, affiliated with the Department of Mathematical Sciences at UNIST, has delivered unequivocal proof regarding stable spherical vortices. This momentous discovery carries significant implications for weather anomaly prediction and the advancement of weather forecasting technologies.Understanding Spherical VorticesA vortex represents a rotating region within...

Monash College scientists have tested the conventional wisdom that biological patterns are explained by physical restrictions.In a study released today in Scientific research, the researchers offer their mathematical model of animal development, which describes how animals devote energy to growth and reproduction as they age and increase in size."Despite the fact that living organisms...
A group of scientists from MIPT and Kazan National Research Technical University is developing a mathematical apparatus that could improve network security. The results have been released in the journal Mathematics.Complex systems, such as network traffic or living microorganisms, do not have deterministic physical laws to properly define them and predict future habits. In...
The COVID-19 pandemic has clarified the relevance of comprehending precisely just how diseases spread throughout transport networks. Nonetheless, rigorously figuring out the connection between disease risk and changing networks, which either humans or the environment may alter, is challenging due to the intricacy of these systems.In a paper published on 10 June 2021, in...
US prisons currently hold about 2 million detainees - many held while awaiting trial, and others serving extremely long prison sentences. New research by Professor Christopher Slobogin, Milton R. Underwood Chair in Law at Vanderbilt Law School, indicates that a risk prediction algorithm can help dramatically reduce these numbers.According to the professor, there is...
New research published in Scientific Reports has revealed that a plain but robust new algorithm can help engineers improve the design of cellular materials used in various applications, from defense, biomedical to intelligent structures and the aerospace sector.How cell materials perform can be uncertain, so calculations to help engineers predict how they will react...
