| Scalping can raise ticket prices Posted: 25 Jul 2014 11:46 AM PDT A new study finds that resale markets like Craigslist can add value to tickets sold by concert venues and Ticketmaster. |
| Collecting just the right data: Algorithm helps identify which data to target Posted: 25 Jul 2014 08:08 AM PDT Much artificial-intelligence research addresses the problem of making predictions based on large data sets. An obvious example is the recommendation engines at retail sites like Amazon and Netflix. But some types of data are harder to collect -- information about geological formations thousands of feet underground, for instance. And in other applications -- such as trying to predict the path of a storm -- there may just not be enough time to crunch all the available data. When you can't collect all the data you need, a new algorithm tells you which to target. |
| Nanoparticle 'alarm clock' tested to awaken immune systems put to sleep by cancer Posted: 25 Jul 2014 08:07 AM PDT Researchers are exploring ways to wake up the immune system so it recognizes and attacks invading cancer cells. One pioneering approach uses nanoparticles to jumpstart the body's ability to fight tumors. Nanoparticles are too small to imagine. One billion could fit on the head of a pin. This makes them stealthy enough to penetrate cancer cells with therapeutic agents such as antibodies, drugs, vaccine type viruses, or even metallic particles. |
| Antioxidant biomaterial promotes healing Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:19 PM PDT The first-ever inherently antioxidant biomaterial has been created by researcher. It has the potential to prevent failure in medical devices and surgical implants. The lead researcher said the new biomaterial could be used to create scaffolds for tissue engineering, coat or build safer medical devices, promote healing in regenerative medicine, and protect cells, genes, and viruses during drug delivery. He added that the new biomaterial is easy to make and inexpensive. |
| New approach to form non-equilibrium structures Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:19 PM PDT Researchers get closer to understanding the fundamentals of non-equilibrium, self-assembled structures, unlocking potential in a variety of fields. By injecting energy through oscillations, researchers can force particles to self assemble under non-equilibrium conditions, they report. |
| Cyclists: Minimizing drag to maximize results Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:09 AM PDT In trying to better understand the aerodynamic interactions between cyclists, researchers have studied how riders' drag was affected by the relative position of multiple cyclists. The research was designed to optimize the aerodynamics of elite riders when in a drafting or slipstreaming configuration. |
