- Wed, 20 Jun 2018 13:47:37 +0000: Evaluation method for the impact of wind power fluctuation on power system quality - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Abrupt changes of wind power generation output are a source of severe damage to power systems. Researchers have developed a stochastic modeling method that enables to evaluate the impact of such phenomena. - Tue, 19 Jun 2018 16:24:46 +0000: When photons spice up the energy levels of quantum particles - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
For the first time, a team of mathematical physicists, call upon supersymmetry to explain the behavior of particles that have received a photon and are subjected to particular potential energies known as shape-invariant potentials. - Tue, 19 Jun 2018 16:24:36 +0000: Approach can help English learners improve at math word problems - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Education professors have shown that a comprehension-based strategy can help English learners improve their math word-problem solving abilities. The approach boosts reading comprehension and problem solving as well. - Fri, 15 Jun 2018 13:48:18 +0000: Novel method for investigating pore geometry in rocks - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
In a fusion of mathematics and earth science, researchers have proposed a novel method for characterizing pore geometry in rock, based on persistence diagram analysis and a newly proposed parameter, the distance parameter H. The method represents heterogeneity and differences in rock type more effectively than the conventional method based on velocity distribution, without requiring costly numerical flow simulations, and the results are relatively stable with small changes in pore space. - Tue, 12 Jun 2018 22:50:53 +0000: Block play could improve your child's math skills, executive functioning - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Semi-structured block play among preschool-age children has the potential to improve two skills - mathematics and executive functioning - critical to kindergarten readiness, according a new study.
