Abstract: Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are extensively employed in manufacturing workshops for their high degree of automation and flexibility. This paper investigates a limited AGV scheduling ...

This past spring, a biotech company announced the first use of a new gene-editing technology in people to fix an errant gene that causes a severe immune disorder. In June, a baby born with a ...

Repeated stretches of DNA grow longer and more unstable as we age, and genetics can make this process up to four times faster in some people. These expansions are tied to serious diseases, suggesting ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

A massive global genetics study is reshaping how we understand mental illness—and why diagnoses so often pile up. By analyzing genetic data from more than six million people, researchers uncovered ...

Abstract: Operating room (OR) planning and scheduling is a highly complex combinatorial optimization problem that involves patient assignment, OR allocation, and surgical sequencing within a ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

Parents may have more influence than they realize when it comes to shaping their children's behavior, especially for those at higher genetic risk for conduct problems, according to Rutgers Health-led ...

Rutgers Health–led research builds on decades of work showing that family and environmental factors interact with genetics to shape child development Parents may have more influence than they realize ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...
