Landslide inventory maps: New tools for an old problem

New tools for an old disease.

Georeferencing, Annotation and Analysis Tools for Old Maps: An Overview

Early maps are valuable sources as they not only contain geographic information but are also a political and cultural mirror of their time. Nowadays becoming more and more available in a digital format, such digitized early maps are a way of getting evidence and detecting novelties in the field of historic research. Thus software systems are developed or classical GIS systems are used to suppor...

A new tool for an old problem

Cancer is characterized by somatic mutations that provide a growth and survival advantage. The mutations are a function of chance because of the random nature of mutagenesis. However, the biology in the tumor cells drives the selection of mutations that are advantageous to the cancer. 1 in addition, the tumor environment exerts a selective pressure on the tumor. For example, the hypoxic environ...

An Old Insight Leads to New Tools

seems an unlikely person to help transform the statistical rigor of experiments in the vanguard of microarray analyses and proteomics. For one thing, he died almost 250 years ago in Tunbridge Wells, an English town that remains sleepy even today. And rather than being a scientist, Bayes was a nonconformist minister. Yet today's microarray and proteomic researchers increasingly use the statistic...

A new approach to an old problem: synthetic biology tools for human disease and metabolism.

The field of synthetic biology seeks to develop engineering principles for biological systems. Along these lines, synthetic biology can address human metabolic disease through the development of genetic approaches to the study and modification of metabolism. The re-engineering of natural metabolic states provides fundamental understanding of the integrated components underlying dysfunctional me...
