Flowers unfold with surprising precision, despite unruly genes

A Cornell University study found that plant genes respond to auxin in a chaotic manner, despite the precise formation of flowers. Researchers discovered that spatial averaging helps smooth out gene expression noise, allowing plants to control development. This finding has implications for plant engineering and synthetic biology.

UVA professor tackles graph mining challenges with new algorithm

A UVA professor has developed a new computational algorithm to find tightly connected clusters, or triangle-dense subgraphs, within large networks. This breakthrough can help uncover suspicious activity in fraud detection and identify community dynamics on social media with greater precision.

Effective methods for automated design of complex technical objects and systems

Researchers at Lobachevsky University have proposed a two-fold approach to overcome the computational complexity of multicriteria problems. By re-using search information and using effective global search algorithms, they aim to find multiple compromise options that cannot be improved simultaneously with respect to all partial criteria.
