In A Nutshell Researchers used computer modeling and physics-based math to calculate the minimum antibiotic and moisturizer doses needed to push severe eczema into remission and keep it there. The ...

The instability of large, complex societies is a predictable phenomenon, according to a new mathematical model that explores the emergence of early human societies via warfare. Capturing hundreds of ...

Mathematical modeling helps researchers to understand how enzymes in the body work to ensure normal functioning. The models also can show how genetic mutations alter the enzymes' behavior in ways that ...

High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects more than one billion people worldwide and is a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. For decades, researchers have observed that premenopausal women ...

A single mathematical model can explain the pattern of folds seen on the brains of a range of primates, from bush babies to macaques to humans. Bruno Mota at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ...
