Improved AI process could better predict water supplies

A new computer model uses a better artificial intelligence process to measure snow and water availability more accurately across vast distances in the West, information that could someday be used to better predict water availability for farmers and others. The researchers predict water availability from areas in the West where snow amounts aren't being physically measured.

Bees are astonishingly good at making decisions. They can choose the best nest site, flower patch, or dance partner using a simple rule: compare two options at a time and pick the best one. Our computer model shows how this rule can achieve optimal outcomes with minimal effort. Bees are the masters of efficient decision-making.

Bees are astonishingly good at making decisions – and our computer model explains how that's possible

Picking the correct flowers is a crucial job for honey bees, so it’s no wonder they are incredibly efficient at it. But how can such little brains do it?

New computer model tracks origin of cell changes that drive development

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have developed a computer model—dubbed quantitative fate mapping—that looks back in the developmental timeline to trace the origin of cells in a fully grown organism. The new model, they say, can help researchers more precisely spot which cells acquire alterations during development that change an organism's fate from healthy to disease states, including cancer and dementia.
