New Technique Allows for Faster and More Accurate Detection of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a groundbreaking new diagnostic technique that will allow for faster and more accurate detection of neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and similar diseases that affect animals, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD) and mad cow disease.

Machine-learning model makes more accurate predictions about ocean currents

Computer scientists at MIT joined forces with oceanographers to develop a machine-learning model that incorporates knowledge from fluid dynamics to generate more accurate predictions about the velocities of ocean currents. This figure shows drifting buoy trajectories in the Gulf of Mexico superimposed on surface currents. The red dots mark the buoys’ positions on March 9, 2016, and the tails are 14 days long.

Blasting ‘The Suicide Squad’ for Trying To Erase the Original Isn’t Quite as Accurate as Some Believe It To Be

They say his The Suicide Squad disrespects the first, though as a new point now says, this is not remotely the reality of it at all. Boomer dies so the audience realizes that any character could die, even still…

A Deeper, More Accurate Understanding of Worldwide Genomic Diversity

The new draft pangenome reference contains 47 genomes instead of just one, and will provide a much better point of comparison than the traditional reference to find and understand the differences in our DNA. Credit: National Human Genome Research InstituteScientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, together with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome, which combines the genetic material of 47 individuals from diverse ancestral backgrounds to offer a more accurate…
