Paper offers a mathematical approach to modeling a random walker moving across a random landscape
Tiny particles like pollen grains move constantly, pushed and pulled by environmental forces. To study this motion, physicists use a "random walk" model—a system in which every step is determined by a random process. Random walks are useful for stu.....»»
A coral superhighway in the Indian Ocean
New research has revealed that, despite being scattered across more than a million square kilometers, remote coral reefs across the Seychelles are closely related. Using genetic analyses and oceanographic modeling, researchers at Oxford University ha.....»»
