Our past columns have emphasized repeatedly that modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronics, which is becoming the design process of choice for successful multidisciplinary systems ...

Applying a few simplifying assumptions and constructing a set of ordinary differential equations leads to a model that ...

It’s the same math that explains how, under the right conditions, the atmosphere above a barren plain can produce a roiling ...

Part one of this series, published in the January 2007 issue, discussed how to use linear superposition in the steady-state analysis of multiple heat-source systems. However, linear superposition also ...

Microbiome sequencing data are known to be biased; the measured taxa relative abundances can be systematically distorted from their true values at every step in the experimental/analysis workflow. If ...
