3 Minutes of Science

Three minutes flies by pretty quickly – particularly when you’re trying to capture the essence of your research in that amount of time. This is exactly the format used by Soup and Science, an event here at McGill where professors have exactly three minutes to give an overview of their research to a group [...]

Modeling economic networks

When businesses interact – whether through mergers, partnerships, acquisitions, or law suits – they change the competitive landscape within a market, alter how goods and services are provided, and redistribute economic and financial power and risk. As a result, when businesses interact, they change the economy. As financial booms and busts have demonstrated, [...]

Gradual Evolution of Robustness

There is a common belief that most biological networks are robust enough to sustain changes in environmental condition (noise) and sudden mutations. However, how the robustness may have evolved through the process of natural selection remains relatively unexplored in the current literature. A recent work by Cilberti et al. attempts to get an insight on this [...]

Efficient grid layout algorithm with innovative flow penalizing term

Fast grid layout algorithm for biological networks with sweep calculation presents an algorithm that efficiently generates both the initial configuration and the subsequent updates of a biological network layout. In addition, this algorithm introduces a flow penalizing component for the cost function.
In order to achieve efficiency, the new method partitions the grid space into subregions [...]
