An enduring topic of research interest relates to the heritability of mental traits, such as intelligence. Some of the work on this topic has focussed on genetic contributions to the speed of [...]

Complex virtual environments are used for entertainment in the form of games and are also fundamental in training and simulation environments. Apart from the visual representation of reality, [...]

An important consequence of Dirichlet’s theorem (1842) is that any irrational number can be approximated by infinitely many rationals with an error of approximation one over denominator [...]

The lattice Boltzmann method is used to carry out a direct numerical simulation of laminar and turbulent flows in a smooth and rough wall channel or pipe at critical and subcritical Reynolds [...]

The finite element method has become the most powerful approach in solving partial differential equations arising in modern engineering and physical applications. We present computation and [...]

The rapid increase in available information has led to many attempts to automatically locate patterns in large, abstract, multi-attributed information spaces. These techniques are often [...]

The Human brain is still one of the most powerful and at the same time most energy efficient computers. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are inspired by their biological counterparts and the [...]

The shape of a geometric object determines its resonant frequencies, or spectrum.   I will talk about some new and old results describing the kinds of shapes that optimise various spectral [...]

Every pair of longest paths in a connected graph must share a common vertex. Is it also true that all of the longest paths in a connected graph must share a common vertex? The answer is no, not [...]

David Hilbert conjectured that there do exist genuine continuous multivariate real-valued functions. He was wrong! Intended Audience: A general mathematics audience. About the speaker: Sid Morris [...]
