Complete elimination of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) presents a challenge due to latent viral reservoirs within the body that can help re-establish infection. In a new paper, researchers propose a mathematical model that investigates the effects of drug parameters and dosing schedules on HIV latent reservoirs and viral load dynamics. - Mon, 16 Oct 2017 23:03:26 +0000: Shaping animal, vegetable and mineral - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
A new technique to grow any target shape from any starting shape has now been developed by researchers, outlines a new report. - Thu, 05 Oct 2017 14:27:29 +0000: Computer model unravels knotty problems in DNA - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
If you've ever tried to untangle a pair of earbuds, you'll understand how loops and cords can get twisted up. DNA can get tangled in the same way, and in some cases, has to be cut and reconnected to resolve the knots. Now a team of mathematicians, biologists and computer scientists has unraveled how E. coli bacteria can unlink tangled DNA by a local reconnection process. The math behind the research could have implications far beyond biology. - Wed, 04 Oct 2017 13:51:19 +0000: What is STEM education? - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Everyone needs a good teacher -- including teachers. Two new studies show how digging deeper into what STEM education means and strategically designing online classrooms can enhance teaching science, technology, engineering, and math. - Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:23:58 +0000: On a collision course with game theory - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
How do pedestrians behave in a large crowd? How do they avoid collisions? How can their paths be modeled? A new approach developed by mathematicians provides answers to these questions.
