The field of proteomics involves the study of the entire set of proteins in a biological sample. High throughput techniques have been developed [8, 10] which utilise protein separation via two dimensional polyacylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) [6] ,and protein identification using mass spectrometry. These techniques generate large datasets containing diverse types of data, for which standa...

There are several levels of complexity that need to be considered in order to describe the diurnal regulation of carbon metabolism in plants. Firstly, some reactions are lightdependent and happen only or mainly in presence of light (such as carbon fixation and starch synthesis) or in absence of light (such as starch degradation). Secondly, reactions are compartmentalised between chloroplast (ca...

I In her book, Philosophy in a New Key, Susanne Langer remarks that certain ideas burst upon the intellectual landscape with a tremendous force. They resolve so many fundamental problems at once that they seem also to promise that they will resolve all fundamental problems, clarify all obscure issues. Everyone snaps them up as the open sesame of some new positive science, the conceptual center-...

Results from Prior Support The Central Arizona Phoenix Project Long Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) award (DEB 9714833-010) provided seed funds to initiate a long term experiment on trophic dynamics in urban settings in 2001. CAP LTER is one of 24 long-term sites funded by NSF. In the past, LTER sites have focused upon pristine locations, well removed from the myriad effects brought about b...

It is accepted that random k-CNF and industrial SAT instances have a distinct nature. While random formulas can be easily generated on demand, the set of industrial instances, which encode real-world problems, is limited. The problem of generating realistic pseudo-industrial random instances is stated in [9, 6, 4] as one of the most important challenges for the next few years. The main motivati...

The NASA Personnel Security Processing Expert System is a tool that automatically determines the appropriate personnel background investigation required for a civil servant or contractor occupying a position of national security or public trust. It also instructs the personnel security processing staff to perform special checks based on a specific position. The system is implemented using a rul...
