Scientists at UCSF have found that endometriosis — a painful chronic disease affecting 10% of women that often goes undiagnosed — often occurs alongside conditions like cancer, Crohn's disease, and migraine.

The research could improve how endometriosis is diagnosed and, ultimately, how it is treated; and it paints the sharpest portrait yet of a condition that is as mysterious as it is prevalent.

MIT researchers designed a computationally efficient algorithm for machine learning with symmetric data that also requires fewer data for training than conventional approaches. Their work could inform the design of faster, more accurate machine-learning models for tasks like discovering new drugs or identifying astronomical phenomena. 

Researchers designed a transmitter chip that significantly improves energy efficiency of wireless communications, which could boost the range and battery life of a connected device.

Analysis of Boundedness and Safeness in a Petri Net-Based Specification of Concurrent Control Systems is a timely and rigorous new resource from Bentham Science for computer scientists, control engineers, and system designers that explores the foundational and advanced principles of modeling concurrent control systems using Petri nets.
