"If infections rise again, there is the potential that linear curves turn to exponential growth again - something people described as a second wave," Klimek concludes. Thurner, S., et al. (2020) A ...
Advances in computer science are helping to accelerate a broad spectrum of scientific research. The more complex the problem, the greater the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) machine ...
