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 ...

Picture yourself at a busy pedestrian crossing. When the light is red, everyone waits—until one person starts to cross. Soon, others follow, and eventually everyone follows the crowd and crosses.

How clans form and evolve within human societies has been modeled using a simple computer model developed by a RIKEN ...

For most people, swallowing is second nature, but how does it occur, and why do some people have difficulty with it?

Zebras and tigers have stripes, cheetahs and leopards have spots, and the ocellated lizard (Timon lepidus) boasts a labyrinthine pattern of black-and-green chains of scales. Now researchers from the ...

Only a handful of molecules and mechanisms can generate such a huge diversity of forms and complexity in multicellular organisms. Recently, researchers investigated how this is possible using a simple ...

The mathematical model is a computer simulation that shows how muscles in the throat and esophagus move when we swallow.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We analyzed the runout potential of debris flows using a simple mathematical model based on the principle of conservation of momentum. This ...

John H. Porter and James L. Dooley, Jr. Attempts to fit simple mathematical models of animal movement to observed distributions of movements have been extremely successful. However, the extent to ...
