Model system for distribution of more accurate time signals

October 21, 2019 0 Comments Computer Modeling, Computers and Internet, Engineering, Mathematical Modeling, Optics, Physics, Quantum Physics, Spintronics Research

Physicists have demonstrated the first next-generation 'time scale' — a system that incorporates data from multiple atomic clocks to produce a single highly accurate timekeeping signal for distribution. The new time scale outperforms the best existing hubs for disseminating official time worldwide and offers the possibility of providing more accurate time to millions of customers such as financial markets and computer and phone networks.

Nitrogen from agricultural production is a major cause of pollution in the Mississippi River Basin and contributes to large dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. Illinois and other Midwestern states have set goals to reduce nitrogen load through strategies that include different land management practices. A new study uses computer modeling to estimate how those practices may be affected by potential changes in the climate, such as increased rainfall.

Many of today's scientific processes are simulated using computer-driven mathematical models. But for a model to accurately predict how air flow behaves at high speeds, for example, scientists need supplemental real life data. Providing validation data, using up-to-date methods, was a key motivating factor for a recent experimental study.

Hydrologic simulation models that inform policy decisions are difficult to interpret

October 11, 2019 0 Comments Climate, Computer Modeling, Environmental Policies, Land Management, Mathematical Modeling, Mathematics, Resource Shortage, Water, Weather

Hydrologic models that simulate and predict water flow are used to estimate how natural systems respond to different scenarios such as changes in climate, land use, and soil management. The output from these models can inform policy and regulatory decisions regarding water and land management practices. Numerical models have become increasingly easy to employ with advances in computer technology and software with graphical user interface (GUI). While these technologies make the models more accessible, problems can arise if they are used by inexperienced modelers.

Algorithm personalizes which cancer mutations are best targets for immunotherapy

October 10, 2019 0 Comments Brain Tumor, Cancer, Colon Cancer, Computer Modeling, Computer Programming, Lung Cancer, Mathematical Modeling, Mathematics

As tumor cells multiply, they often spawn tens of thousands of genetic mutations. Figuring out which ones are the most promising to target with immunotherapy is like finding a few needles in a haystack. Now a new model hand-picks those needles so they can be leveraged in more effective, customized cancer vaccines.
