Against the backdrop of the widespread notion that the human brain is literally extraordinary, Suzana Herculano-Houzel argues that, with 86 billion neurons and just as many nonneuronal cells, the human brain is "just" a scaled-up primate brain in its cellular composition and metabolic cost

This open content textbook by Pat Morin covers the implementation and analysis of data structures including stacks, queues, hash tables, binary search trees, heaps, graphs, and B-trees.

Here has come the age of “digital natives”, a generation born with the Internet. Their representation of the world, their perception of time and space, of what's real and what's virtual is “intrinsically” different from that of the previous generation who are only becoming aware of the virtues and limits of the "Google" effect.

Have you ever wondered where the Bessel's Correction came from? The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of EMORY breaks this down for you.

GAME | Eterna is an online game that invites everyone to help advance medical research.

Michael Lynch presents support for the hypothesis that natural selection pushes mutation rates down to a lower limit set by the power of random genetic drift rather than by intrinsic physiological limitations, and that this has resulted in reduced levels of replication, transcription, and translation fidelity in eukaryotes re...

A. H. Bittles and M. L. Black analyze consanguinity and its consequences in terms of complex diseases

A curated list of amazingly awesome tools and resources related to the use of machine learning for cyber security.

Robert Jensen uses the example of mobile phone adoption by fishermen in India to illustrate how information technologies may improve market performance and increase welfare.

Jeff Atwood, co-founder of Stack Overflow and Discourse, explains why speed of iteration beats quality of iteration.

Tak Yan Leungb, Oliver Meng Ruic and Steven Shuye Wang analyze the effect of stock splits using intraday data and insider trading data in Hong Kong from 1980 to 2000

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR - Here is the extraordinary story of how one tenacious U.S. prosecutor brought the bank--and its government sponsors--to justice.

Matthew Richardson and Pedro Domingos propose an architecture that uses first-order probabilistic reasoning techniques to combine potentially inconsistent knowledge sources of varying quality, and uses machine-learning techniques to estimate the quality of knowledge.

Seminal paper from Yoshua Bengio, Réjean Ducharme, Pascal Vincent and Christian Jauvin on learning a distributed representation for words which allows each training sentence to inform the model about an exponential number of semantically neighboring sentences.

Stephen J. Freeland and Laurence D. Hurst examine the genetic code and its nonrandom patterns, including minimization of point mutation or mistranslation effects. They find that if transition errors are weighted differently from transversion errors and each base is weighted differently based on reported mistranslation biases,...

David L. Ikenberry, Graeme Rankine and Earl K. Stice observe significant post-split excess returns for a sample of 1,275 two-for-one stock splits

Space Weather Prediction Center is the U.S. government's official source for space weather forecasts, alerts, watches and warnings
