A study published in Translational Behavioral Medicine. Looks at how participation in physical activity can be encouraged during pregnancy and finds that despite the popularity of mobile phones, text interventions may not be the solution. Here to tell us more is lead author Jennifer Huberty.
Social networks capture data about most aspects of the daily lives of millions of people around the world. The analysis of this rich and ready-available source of information can help us better understand the complex dynamics of society. In a recent article published in EPJ Data Science the authors propose the use of location-based social networks to study the activity patterns of different gender groups.
The scope of this meeting is to provide students at the end of their Masters degree or at the beginning of their PhD with an introduction to Neurogeometry. The instruments of differential geometry in anisotropic structures and experimental brain data allow the construction of efficient models of the visual cortex, with applications to image processing. Each participant… Read more »
Jan Kohlrus investigates relativitic effects to consider when setting up quantum communication systems.
The Pacific Journal of Mathematics for Industry (PJMI) publishes exciting research right at the interface of Mathematics and Industry. Articles focus on how through the use of mathematical results, important industrial problems can be answered to yield new insight for both industry and mathematics. A number of recent original research articles demonstrate some of the big challenges that research published in PJMI tackles.
In this post, Dr. Arturo Chiti, the Editor-in-Chief of our new SpringerOpen journal European Journal of Hybrid Imaging shares his thoughts on how hybrid imaging can be used to its full potential.
Shoebox sized satellites could be the key to fast-track development of space quantum communication.
A new analysis in the Journal of International Humanitarian Action looks closely at safe motherhood vouchers—and finds surprising results in wartime Yemen.
As the world becomes more mobile, so do the ways we reach people to help them improve their health. In this blog, based on our article recently published in Translational Behavioral Medicine we take a look at what provides the best outcomes for health, web or app.
Prompted by previous research observing that engagement in science is strongly influenced by what happens outside school, researchers from Murdoch University wanted to find out what successful female students think influenced their engagement in high school physics. Physics is regarded as a high-status subject, although sometimes viewed as a “boy’s subject”. The picture that emerges around females’ enrollment choices in science, recently published in a paper on the International Journal of STEM Education, is multi-faceted.
