Drugs can impact the gut microbiome. Here, Algavi and Borenstein developed a machine-learning framework that successfully predicts the impact of thousands of drugs on hundreds of gut microbes, ...

Belief dynamics has an important role in shaping our responses to natural and societal phenomena, ranging from climate change and pandemics to immigration and conflicts. Researchers often base their ...

It is generally believed (but not yet proved) that Ising spin glasses with nearest-neighbor interactions have a phase transition in three and higher dimensions to a low-temperature spin glass phase, ...

Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) are important sources of evolutionary innovations. Understanding how evolution navigates the sequence space of such sites can be achieved by mapping TFBS ...

The duration of the quasistationary states (QSSs) emerging in the d-dimensional classical inertial alpha Heisenberg model, i.e., N three-dimensional rotators whose interactions decay with distance ...

Identifying effective treatments and policies early in a pandemic is challenging because only limited and noisy data are available and biological processes are unknown or uncertain. Consequently, ...

The Boltzmann-Gibbs-von Neumann-Shannon additive entropy SBG = k a i pi ln pi as well as its continuous and quantum counterparts, constitute the grounding concept on which the BG statistical mechanics ...

BackgroundIdentifying the locations of gene breakpoints between species of different taxonomic groups can provide useful insights into the underlying evolutionary processes. Given the exact locations ...

At the headwaters of the Yenisei River in Tuva and northern Mongolia, nomadic pastoralists move between camps in a seasonal rotation that facilitates their animals' access to high-quality grasses and ...

We study a nonlinear bounded-confidence model (BCM) of continuous-time opinion dynamics on networks with both persuadable individuals and zealots. The model is parameterized by a nonnegative scalar ', ...

The scale and terms of borrowing in an economy depend on the manner in which wealth is distributed across potential creditors with heterogeneous beliefs about the future. This distribution evolves ...
