QUT researchers have developed a pioneering mathematical framework to help "pick winners" and maximize limited funding and ...

The internal clock in living beings that regulates sleeping and waking patterns -- usually called the circadian clock -- has often befuddled scientists due to its mysterious time delays. Molecular ...

A new mathematical model has applications to the study of gas kicks in deep-water oil wells, which in worst-case scenarios can lead to blowouts. Oil well control is one of the most important processes ...

Modelling the predicted movements of pervasive sap-sucking tiny insects before they infest banana crops has the potential to become a key tactic in the fight against a devastating virus, according to ...

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

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

Deputy Director of the DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences and Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, University of the ...

Every so often, the Pentagon's blue sky research arm gets slammed, for funding investigations that are a little too down-to-Earth. Then Darpa turns around, and sponsors a new project to "develop a ...

Mathematical analysis and modelling is an important part of infectious disease epidemiology. Application of mathematical models to disease surveillance data can be used to address both scientific ...

Researchers used mice to develop a mathematical model of a myocardial infarction, popularly known as a heart attack. The new model predicts several useful new drug combinations that may one day help ...
