Eye opener: exploring complexity using rich pictures
Historically, approaches to exploring complexity have mainly focused on the notion that complex problems must be deconstructed into simpler parts if we are to make sense of them; this is the so-called reductionist approach. When dealing with the complexity of human experience, however, deconstructing the experience without diminishing it is a daunting, perhaps impossible task. Researchers wishi...
متن کاملUsing Rich Pictures in Information Systems Teaching
The Rich Picture (RP), as described in Peter Checkland’s Soft Systems Methodology, is a flexible graphical technique used to represent a situation, problem or concept. In a university teaching environment which aims to encourage students to adopt deep learning (seeking meaning) approaches when learning about information systems, the RP is proving to be a useful technique. The use of and reactio...
متن کاملAn eye-opener for RNAi therapeutics.
The discovery of the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) for knockdown of gene expression has spurred a variety of therapeutic applications. An asset of using small interfering RNA (siRNA) as therapeutics is their exquisite sequence-specific mechanism of action. It seems possible that the first RNAi therapy that could reach patients would aim at a debilitating eye disease called age-related ma...
متن کاملDescriptive complexity for pictures languages
This paper deals with logical characterizations of picture languages of any dimension by syntactical fragments of existential second-order logic. Two classical classes of picture languages are studied: the class of recognizable picture languages, i.e. projections of languages defined by local constraints (or tilings): it is known as the most robust class extending the class of regular languages...
متن کاملUsing Pictures to Visualize the Complexity of Gene Regulatory Networks
This paper proposes a new method to evaluate the complexity of a Gene Regulatory Network (GRN). It is based on the generation of pictures. In addition to being visually interesting, the pictures shows the capacity of the GRN to produce smooth and/or sudden transitions, fractal-like complexity and regularities. We also have studied the influence of the size of the GRN on the complexity of pictur...
