A circadian clock nanomachine that runs without transcription or translation.
The biochemical basis of circadian timekeeping is best characterized in cyanobacteria. The structures of its key molecular players, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC are known and these proteins can reconstitute a remarkable circadian oscillation in a test tube. KaiC is rhythmically phosphorylated and its phospho-status is a marker of circadian phase that regulates ATPase activity and the oscillating assemb...
متن کاملSCOUT: A Simple Quadruped that Walks, Climbs and Runs
M. Buehler, R. Battaglia, A. Cocosco, G. Hawker, J. Sarkis, K. Yamazaki. Centre for Intelligent Machines, McGill University, Montr eal, QC H3A 2A7, Canada Abstract A simple mechanical design for quadrupedal locomotion, termed SCOUT, is proposed, featuring only one degree of freedom per leg. This paper demonstrates experimentally that our rst prototype SCOUT-1 is capable of walking, turning, and...
متن کاملShakespeare's invention of theatre as simulation that runs on minds
In any fully functioning cognitive system, such as the human mind, emotions would be central since, as Simon (1967) pointed out, either they, or something like them, are needed to manage cognition and action. The management is in relation to an outer world of objects and events for which mental models will always be incomplete and sometimes incorrect, and for which agency will often be inadequa...
متن کاملProvably Good Race Detection That Runs in Parallel
A multithreaded parallel program that is intended to be deterministic may exhibit nondeterminism due to bugs called determinacy races. A key capability of race detectors is to determine whether one thread executes logically in parallel with another thread or whether the threads must operate in series. This thesis presents two algorithms, one serial and one parallel, to maintain the series-paral...
متن کاملSprites: Payment Channels that Go Faster than Lightning
It is well known that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies are facing hurdles in scaling to meet user demand. One of the most promising approaches is to form a network of “off-chain payment channels,” which are backed by on-chain currency but support rapid, optimistic transactions and use the blockchain only in case of disputes. We develop a novel construction for paym...
