Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimension reduction technique that can be used for visualisation similarly to t-SNE, but also for general non-linear dimension reduction. The ...

In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

It’s no secret that many of us are not too fond of mathematics and geometry, and that it is often too complex. But even so, it can be pretty mind-blowing to look back in history and discover the ...

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) nowadays have been widely used in ocean observation missions, helping researchers to monitor climate change, collect environmental data, and observe marine ecosystem ...

In this article we prove two characterizations of the Euclidean ball: (i) the only convex body in ℝ³ such that every normal plane bisects the volume (or surface area) is the Euclidean ball, (ii) the ...

Mathematicians sometimes think of their research as a garden and unsolved problems as seeds waiting to sprout. Some problems are analogous to tulip bulbs. As mathematicians work to solve them, they ...

Minhyong Kim is leading a new initiative called Mathematics for Humanity that encourages mathematicians to apply their skills to solving social problems. Minhyong Kim rejects being called an optimist, ...

The exploration of DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) is an important aspect of studying biological life activities. Research on life activities requires the support of scientific research results on DBPs.

Origami, the art of paper folding, is an emerging platform for mechanical metamaterials. Prior work on the design of origami-based structures has focused on simple geometric constructions for limited ...
