Collaborative Information Synthesis

As the quantity of scientific literature continues to soar, scientists struggle to keep up with new findings, even in narrow areas of expertise. Although advances in information retrieval have eased the task of finding relevant articles, they now must face the challenge of aggregating the information from within the retrieved documents. Our study is a first step toward both understanding this s...

Collaborative Multimedia Systems: Synthesis of Media Objects

When a group fI 1 ; : : :; I n g of individuals wishes to collaboratively construct a complex multi-media document, the rst requirement is that they be able to manipulate media-objects created by one another. For instance, if individual I j wishes to access some media objects present at participant I k 's site, he must be able to; (1) retrieve this object from across the network, (2) ensure tha...

Analysis and Synthesis of Collaborative Opportunistic

Dedicated to anyone who got lost and could not find the way home Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to a number of people who played a role in my academic journey. First, I thank my advisor Todd Humphreys for his advice and support throughout my doctoral studies. I still remember vividly our first meeting in which he discussed his research vision. I thank him for introducing m...

Collaborative coupling between polymerase and helicase for leading-strand synthesis

Rapid and processive leading-strand DNA synthesis in the bacteriophage T4 system requires functional coupling between the helicase and the holoenzyme, consisting of the polymerase and trimeric clamp loaded by the clamp loader. We investigated the mechanism of this coupling on a DNA hairpin substrate manipulated by a magnetic trap. In stark contrast to the isolated enzymes, the coupled system sy...
