A new statistical technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois allows scientists to scan a genome for specific gene-regulatory regions without requiring prior knowledge of the relevant transcription factors. The technique has been experimentally validated in both the mouse genome and the fruit fly genome. http://www.physorg.com/news177859128.html Biology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:19:22 EST news177859128 (PhysOrg.com) -- In a recently published paper, Aram Harrow at the University of Bristol and colleagues from MIT in the United States have discovered a quantum algorithm that solves large problems much faster than conventional computers can. http://www.physorg.com/news177011105.html Physics Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:20:02 EST news177011105 (PhysOrg.com) -- The gnawing pain of rheumatoid arthritis is a signal that the body`s immune system has hit the wrong target: its own cartilage and bone. http://www.physorg.com/news176978059.html Medicine & Health Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:35:22 EST news176978059 Japanese researchers have developed a computer program which may be able tell from an emergency call if you are about to die. Research published in the open access journal BMC Emergency Medicine shows that a computer algorithm is able to predict the patient's risk of dying at the time of the emergency call. http://www.physorg.com/news175328694.html Medicine & Health Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:40:02 EST news175328694 Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) will combine the scientific and scholarly expertise of their humanities and computer science experts in a new project to analyze degraded Hebrew documents. http://www.physorg.com/news169478552.html Technology Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:40:02 EST news169478552 (PhysOrg.com) -- Computer scientists at Newcastle University are about to give office workers a perfect excuse to play games: it's all in the name of research. Dr Jeff Yan, together with his PhD student Su-Yang Yu, has created 'Magic Bullet' as an effective solution to a problem which no known computer algorithm can yet solve. http://www.physorg.com/news166856692.html Technology Wed, 15 Jul 2009 06:05:27 EST news166856692 A new study by Brigham Young University researchers on the virus behind nearly half of all cold infections explains how and where evolution occurs in the rhinovirus genome and what this means for possible vaccines. http://www.physorg.com/news156436585.html Biology Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:37:19 EST news156436585 (PhysOrg.com) -- How many different sudokus are there? How many different ways are there to color in the countries on a map? And how do atoms behave in a solid? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen and at Cornell University (Ithaca, USA) have now developed a new method that quickly provides an answer to these questions. http://www.physorg.com/news153588084.html Other Sciences Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:22:12 EST news153588084 Researchers in Taiwan are designing a computer for pedal cyclists that tells them when to change gear to optimize the power they develop while maintaining comfort. The system is described in the latest issue of the International Journal of Human Factors Modelling and Simulation. http://www.physorg.com/news151064058.html Technology Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:14:18 EST news151064058
