The event will take place on April 15 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. EDT. Researchers, administrative staff and others in the social, behavioral and economic sciences community are encouraged to attend and learn more about what it takes to create — and lead — a research proposal for these major initiatives, including Trust and Authenticity in Communications Systems, Understanding the Rules of Life: Emergent Networks, mid-scale research infrastructure and others. Featured speakers include NSF Assista...

DGIST □ DGIST announced that Research Professor Kyung Ah Han of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and postdoctoral researcher Heejin Lim of the Department of New Biology were selected for the Se Jong Science Fellowship Program supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF).   □ The Se Jong Science Fellowship is a system that supports young scientists, such as post-doctorate researchers, so they can focus on their studies. The s...

April 5, 2021 XISS Ranchi is one of the oldest management institutions in India. Like XLRI, XIMB and LIBA, it is part of Jesuits Group of Institutions and offers many PGDM programs in areas like Human Resource Management and Rural Management. In an interview with MBAUniverse.com, Dr. Joseph Marianus Kujur, Director of XISS has shared how he is planning to strengthen current programs, improve learnings resources, and his plans to transform into a University in next few years. Set up in 1955, Xa...

Just like with proteins, the function of those RNA species not only relies on their abund...

Although we can quickly make decisions based on incomplete and changing information, many of today’s artificial intelligence systems only work after being trained on well-labeled data, and when new information is available, a complete retraining is often re...

Ireland’s role in €3m EU project designing the future of democracy Image: © Stephan Dinges/Stock.adobe.com Two Irish research institutions are part of an international project to evaluate democratic processes and experiment with new participatory models. This month marked the beginning of an EU-funded research project to examine participation and deliberation in democracies. The EUComMeet project has received €3m in funding under Horizon 2020, the EU’s funding instrument for research a...

Scientists seek to enhance artificial intelligence by integrating brain cells With a new grant from the U.S. Army, a team of scientists will seek to enhance artificial intelligence by integrating brain cells called astrocytes. By encoding a feature of biological intelligence called reinforcement learning, in which we iteratively learn from successes and failures, "deep neural networks" (DNNs) have revolutionized artificial intelligence with spectacular demonstrations of mastery in Chess and Go....

Basic cell health systems wear down in Huntington’s disease, analysis shows February 26, 2021MIT A new computational approach for analyzing complex datasets shows that as disease progresses, neurons and astrocytes lose the ability to maintain homeostasis. Using an innovative computational approach to analyze vast brain cell gene expression datasets, researchers at MIT and Sorbonne Université have found that Huntington’s disease may progress to advanced stages more because of a degradation ...
