Now, a SickKids-led study is the first to show that in addition to the length of the tandem repeat, subtle changes in the composition of short tandem repeats (STRs) can also have a big impact on how ...

A research team has developed a nano-functionalized magnetic carbon composite that efficiently removes heavy metals, oil products, and radioactive contaminants from water, including samples collected ...

Uncontrolled bleeding during surgery remains one of the deadliest medical emergencies. Injuries to internal organs such as the liver or spleen are especially dangerous because bleeding is difficult to ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel proximal gradient neurodynamic network (PGNN) for solving composite optimization problems (COPs). The proposed PGNN with time-varying coefficients can be ...

A new study publishing in Current Biology on September 18 reveals that dogs with a vocabulary of toy names—known as Gifted Word Learners—can extend learned labels to entirely new objects, not because ...

Do you sense something problematic about the word “problematic”? The way it’s used has changed a great deal in recent years, so much that it can now seem a little shifty. The journey that brought us ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider a more general bi-level optimization problem, where the inner objective function is consisted of three convex functions, involving a smooth and two non-smooth ...

Practical word problems are often considered one of the most complex parts of elementary school mathematics. They require students to understand the context of a math problem, identify what the ...
