Yes, narcissism, or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), does have a genetic component, but a range of environmental factors, particularly during childhood, can also contribute. Studies show that ...

Optimization of traffic flow in a road network using MATLAB's Genetic Algorithm. Applied to a nonlinear objective function with equality constraints ...

Music recommendation algorithms were supposed to help us cut through the noise, but they just served us up slop. If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ...

During in vitro fertilisation (IVF), embryos undergo genetic testing before they are transferred to the uterus – but researchers have found that a widely used test cannot detect genetic abnormalities ...

Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a ...

Every time a new slang word gets coined on the Internet, linguist Adam Aleksic is thrilled. “It’s definitely good for me in that I stay in business,” says Aleksic, who studies the origins of words and ...

Implementation of numerical optimization algorithms in MATLAB, including derivative-free and gradient-based methods for unconstrained problems, and projection techniques for constrained optimization.

Proteogenomics explores how genetic information translates into protein expression and function, and the role of changes across DNA, RNA, and proteins in influencing disease development and ...

The Indigenous peoples of the Bolivian highlands are survivors. For thousands of years they have lived at altitudes of more than two miles, where oxygen is about 35 percent lower than at sea level.

ABSTRACT: With the advent of the 5G and future 6G, base stations will be used as station controllers. The antenna systems are networked and equipped with a processor to optimize the detection of ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...
