Folding a drop of water solves a longstanding challenge in portable diagnostic devices
Researchers with IBM and Polytechnique Montreal ‘fold’ a drop of water, solving a problem that has hindered development of portable diagnostic systems
Revamped crew scheduling model cuts airline delays by as much as 30%
INFORMS Journal Transportation Science New Study Key Takeaways: Researchers introduce slack times distributed across a crew schedule to plan ahead of any delays or disruptions. The approach can reduce extreme delays by as much as 20-30% on average. The buffers…
Fatal flaws in UK Government’s price of a life
The measurement by which the UK Government attaches a monetary value to saving a human life is invalid and should be overhauled, according to Professor of Risk Management at the University of Bristol, Philip Thomas. In a new paper, published…
