The modeling and simulation of self-organized intracellular twisters in the Drosophila oocyte
Cytoplasmic streaming is the large-scale motion of cytoplasm (i.e., gelatinous liquid inside cells) inside a living cell. This flow, known to regulate various intracellular processes, can vary greatly between different cell types at different stages.....»»

Predicting and planning for forest fires requires modeling of many complex, interrelated factors, says researcher
Global warming is here. As anticipated for more than 50 years now, the temperature and levels of atmospheric CO2 have increased......»»
CRISPR/Cas9-based gene drive could suppress agricultural pests
Researchers have developed a "homing gene drive system" based on CRISPR/Cas9 that could be used to suppress populations of Drosophila suzukii vinegar flies—so-called "spotted-wing Drosophila" that devastate soft-skinned fruit in North America, Euro.....»»
Number of deaths in armed conflicts doubled between 2021 and 2022, says new report
At least 237,000 people died in organized violence in 2022. A new report from Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) at Uppsala University shows that this is a 97% increase over the previous year, and the highest number since the Rwandan genocide in 19.....»»
Ferrari does not need to buy other supercar makers, CEO says
"I don't think it makes sense for us to buy other supercar makers," Vigna said during a conference organized by Bloomberg......»»
New report underscores importance of microbes in climate change modeling
The American Academy of Microbiology, an honorific leadership group and scientific think tank within the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), has released a new colloquium report, "Microbes in Models: Steps for Integrating Microbes into Earth Sys.....»»
Air Force denies running simulation where AI drone “killed” its operator
"We've never run that experiment," says original source, who "misspoke." Enlarge / An armed unmanned aerial vehicle on runway, but orange. (credit: Getty Images) Over the past 24 hours, several news outlets reported a no.....»»
Improving fluid simulations with embedded neural networks
While neural networks can help to improve the accuracy of fluid flow simulations, new research shows how their accuracy is limited unless the right approach is taken. By embedding fluid properties into neural networks, simulation accuracy can improve.....»»
NASA’s Year-Long Mars Simulation Is a Test of Mental Mettle
Four people will cohabitate in a small prototype Martian dwelling, mimicking the isolation and stresses of life on the Red Planet......»»
Shared modeling can help schools predict, avert dropouts
A research team co-led by Cornell found that for schools without the resources to conduct learning analytics to help students succeed, modeling based on data from other institutions can work as well as local modeling, without sacrificing fairness......»»
Modeling study: Linking carbon markets with an allowance exchange rate yields environmental, economic dividends
Carbon markets have become a critical policy tool to combat climate change. They allow firms that emit greenhouse gases to buy and sell the right to pollute, which gives the firms flexibility while also reducing carbon emissions at the lowest cost. A.....»»
EU-Taiwan symposium explores satellite industry cooperation and challenges
At the 2023 EU-Taiwan Space Opportunity Symposium on May 29, leading players in Taiwan's satellite industry gathered to explore cooperation opportunities with the European Union (EU). The event was co-organized by the European Economic and Trade Offi.....»»
Study provides foundation for protecting rare fox in Cascades, Sierra Nevada
Conservation efforts for the rare Sierra Nevada red fox can be strengthened through new computer modeling based on a 12-year data gathering partnership led by scientists at Oregon State University's Institute for Natural Resources, says a researcher.....»»
Advanced imaging of root chemicals offers new insights on plant growth
On a sunny springtime stroll through a park, it's easy to ignore the parts of plants that are hidden from view. Plant biologists see things differently. They look below the surface where plant roots are organized in elaborate systems that are critica.....»»
Quotas alone will not solve the problem of underrepresentation of minorities in modern workforce, finds modeling study
What is the impact of affirmative actions, such as quota systems, on minorities' representation in top ranks of the academic and corporate worlds? Scientists used mathematical models for the first time to quantify how successful quota systems can be.....»»
Scientists propose revolution in complex systems modeling with quantum technologies
Scientists have made a significant advancement with quantum technologies that could transform complex systems modeling with an accurate and effective approach that requires significantly reduced memory......»»
Making the structure of "fire ice" with nanoparticles
Cage structures made with nanoparticles could be a route toward making organized nanostructures with mixed materials, and researchers at the University of Michigan have shown how to achieve this through computer simulations......»»
Forecasting tool used by the UN expands its range of crops to include alfalfa
The Department of Agronomy at the University of Cordoba, together with the IAS–CSIC, has improved the AquaCrop growth simulation model used by the UN by introducing the option of simulating alfalfa yield with precision......»»
Modeling future urban development on European coasts to minimize the risk of rising sea levels
Europe's coasts are densely populated and already affected by the impacts of sea level rise. In addition to traditional, cost-intensive coastal protection measures, spatial land use planning strategies are becoming increasingly important to protect c.....»»
