For most people, swallowing is second nature, but how does it occur, and why do some people have difficulty with it?

Researchers at Kyushu University in Japan have developed a mathematical model that recreates the muscle movements of the ...

The mathematical model is a computer simulation that shows how muscles in the throat and esophagus move when we swallow.

Blood samples taken from 2,526 participants over 18 months were analyzed using mathematical models and machine learning to classify antibody response patterns.

The internal clock in living beings that regulates sleeping and waking patterns -- usually called the circadian clock -- has often befuddled scientists due to its mysterious time delays. Molecular ...

A new mathematical model has applications to the study of gas kicks in deep-water oil wells, which in worst-case scenarios can lead to blowouts. Oil well control is one of the most important processes ...
