Washington, September 9 (ANI): While environmentalists blame pollution and psychiatrists people’s stressful lifestyles for fertility problems in about 10 per cent of all couples hoping for a baby, Tel Aviv University researchers have now come up with a different suggestion.

Dr. Oren Hasson, an evolutionary biologist in the university’s Department of Zoology, says that the [...]

Sydney, July 9 (ANI): A US scientist has said that some dinosaurs grew larger than today’s elephants because they ate more and used less energy.

According to a report in ABC Science, the study suggests two factors, energy expenditure and food intake, influence the size of animals.

Using a mathematical model, study author Dr Brian McNab of [...]

Washington, May 28 (ANI): Humans are genetically programmed to care about the long-term future, say researchers.

Lead researcher Dr Peter Sozou, of the University of Warwick’s Medical School and the London School of Economics and Political Science, revealed that individuals might have an innate tendency to care [...]

Washington, May 21(ANI): A new study has suggested that face protection is a key infection control measure for influenza.

Lawrence M. Wein, Ph.D., and Michael P. Atkinson of Stanford University assessed various ways in which aerosol transmission of the flu, a central mode of diffusion that involves breathing droplets in the air, can be reduced.

They constructed [...]

Washington, May 14 (ANI): Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a mathematical model that can predict the immune responses to infection with influenza A viruses, including novel viruses such as the emergent 2009 influenza A (H1N1).

The model examines the contributions of specific sets of immune cells in fighting influenza A virus.

Also, the [...]

London, May 2 (ANI): While swine flu virus H1N1 continues to spread around the world, the first genetic analysis of the efficacy of its transmission from person to person revealed that it spreads barely well enough to keep itself going.

The analysis also suggested that the virus might have started circulating as long ago as January. [...]

Washington, Apr 28 (ANI): There’s new hope for potential heart attack victims. Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a new non-invasive technique that would help predict and treat attacks.

The research team led by Dr. Sharon Zlochiver of the Department of Biomedical Engineering has shown that by looking at the electrical activity coupling two types [...]

Washington, April 23 (ANI): Researchers at North Carolina (NC) State University have used a mathematical model that allows them to get a clearer picture of the galaxy’s youngest supernova remnant by clearing away the distortions caused by “cosmic dust”.

Their new data provides evidence that this [...]

London, Mar 26 (ANI): Couples wondering if their true love is heading for a lifetime of happiness have been provided with a mathematical test to find out if they are a match made in heaven.

Although, people say there’s no simple formula for a long-lasting relationship, boffins [...]

Washington, March 18 (ANI): A new research by Michigan State University (MSU) scientists has indicated that tiny creatures at the bottom of the food chain called diatoms could become less able to “sequester” greenhouse gas as the climate warms.

Diatoms, microscopic algae that are a major component of plankton living in puddles, lakes and oceans, suck [...]

Washington, Mar 6 (ANI): Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak may have intrigued many of J.K. Rowling’s fans, and now researchers have come a step closer to realising it, by explaining how mathematics can turn out to be a major tool in the [...]

Washington, Feb 25 (ANI): A new research that tracked the recovery of a rare British butterfly over 18 years has shown it is possible to predict how fast a population will spread and reveals the importance of habitat conservation in helping threatened species survive environmental change.

The research, conducted by the Universities of Exeter, York and [...]

Washington, February 13 (ANI): A group of researchers from Princeton and Stanford Universities have found that monkeys can consistently choose the path of greatest reward, even when they are distracted.

Revealing their findings in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, the researchers said that their findings added to the growing evidence that animal foraging behaviour could [...]

London, Jan 17 (ANI): Here’s a vital tip for ladies who’re looking for “good” men: play hard to get.
According to mathematicians, women increase their chances of getting a “good” man by not having sex on a first date.
The researchers came to the conclusion after developing a mathematical model of the mating game to help explain [...]
