Electronic Links: Two-Way Communication Between East and West

Two - way communication between genomics and society

The relationship between science and society has always been determined by the nature of scientific research, in particular its position on a gradient from basic to applied science. This has become even more prevalent in recent years, to the extent that the regard for and appreciation of scientific achievements places unprecedented emphasis on the tangible value of science to society—that is, t...

Healthcare Mobility between East and West, Two Forthcoming Challenges

Medical tourism has been emerged due to the trend of healthcare mobility among different countries. In fact it is a new type of healthcare mobility (1, 2) since not only it involves the clinical services, but also other non-clinical services are likely to be essential and also it is highly affected by cultural factors (3). Eastern countries or developing countries are mostly the main destinatio...

Two-Way Chemical Communication between Artificial and Natural Cells

Artificial cells capable of both sensing and sending chemical messages to bacteria have yet to be built. Here we show that artificial cells that are able to sense and synthesize quorum signaling molecules can chemically communicate with V. fischeri, V. harveyi, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. Activity was assessed by fluorescence, luminescence, RT-qPCR, and RNA-seq. Two potential applications for t...

Two-way Communication Channels

input at terminal 2 and Y2 the corresponding output. Once each second, say, new inputs xi and x2 may be chosen from corresponding input alphabets and put into the channel; outputs yi and Y2 may then be observed. These outputs will be related statistically to the inputs and perhaps historically to previous inputs and outputs if the channel has memory. The problem is to communicate in both direct...
