The Use of New Algorithms to Determine the Sentence Can Reduce the Length of Prison Sentences

Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Science /

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

The Future of Medicine: New Invention Produces More Pure RNA at a Fraction of the Cost

Biology, Molecular Biology, Science /

Recently, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst revealed their discovery of a new RNA production process. The RNA resulting from this process is purer, more copious, and probably more economical than any other process currently in existence. This new technique removes the most significant hurdle on the path to next-generation RNA therapeutic drugs. If
