Researchers at Kumamoto University have made a significant breakthrough in the fight against COVID-19 with the development of Intelli-OVI, a cutting-edge diagnostic tool capable of rapidly identifying emerging variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This new system combines advanced DNA detection technology with computational algorithms to offer a quicker and more cost-effective method of monitoring viral mutations, which could play a crucial role in managing future pandemics.

Calculations of charge distribution in mesons provide benchmark for experimental measurements and validate widely used 'factorization' method for imaging the building blocks of matter.

DURHAM, N.H.—(November 6, 2024)—Research led by the University of New Hampshire sheds light on how coyotes, North America’s most successful predators, are responding to various environmental pressures, including human development, hunting and competition with larger carnivores. Surprisingly, the study’s findings suggest that human hunting practices may actually contribute to increasing the number of coyotes. 

University of Michigan researchers have added a new dimension to the mathematics used to predict the outcomes of all manner of competitions, including sports, games and social hierarchies in both humans and animals.

Sewage surveillance is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against antimicrobial resistance with the potential to protect vulnerable communities more effectively.

A team of Rice bioengineers has developed a mathematical model that clarifies why interleukin-12 ⎯ a potent immune-boosting protein that holds promise for cancer treatment ⎯ loses effectiveness over time when used as an immunotherapeutic.
