- Wed, 17 Jul 2019 16:26:13 +0000: Crunching the numbers of cancer metastasis - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
While revealing that metastatic breast cancer cells alter their shape to spread to other regions of the body, researchers develop a mathematical model that can be applied to study similar cellular systems. - Wed, 17 Jul 2019 14:52:52 +0000: Modeling tool addresses uncertainty in military logistics planning - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Military deployments to austere environments -- whether humanitarian missions or combat operations -- involve extensive logistical planning, which is often complicated by unforeseen events. Researchers have now created a model aimed at helping military leaders better account for logistical risk and uncertainty during operational planning and execution. - Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:48:33 +0000: Take flight! Automating complex design of universal controller for hybrid drones - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, are drones that combine the advantages of multi-copters and fixed-wing planes. These drones are equipped to vertically take off and land like multi-copters, yet also have the strong aerodynamic performance and energy-saving capabilities of traditional planes. As hybrid UAVs continue to evolve, however, controlling them remotely still remains a challenge. - Fri, 12 Jul 2019 16:02:28 +0000: 'The way you move': Body structure brings coordinated movement - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
A computer model shows that a starfish-like animal can coordinate rhythmic motion based on body structure without the brain telling them to do so. This provides insights useful for physiology and robotics. - Thu, 11 Jul 2019 21:11:35 +0000: Strange warping geometry helps to push scientific boundaries - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have built an electronic array on a microchip that simulates particle interactions in a hyperbolic plane, a geometric surface in which space curves away from itself at every point.
