Master Proteins Dictate Retinal Differentiation Timetable

September 2006 | Volume 4 | Issue 9 | e304 One reason to sequence the genomes of non-human organisms is to better understand our similarities and differences. And, at fi rst sight, it is hard to imagine a eukaryote more different from humans than Tetrahymena thermophila. A relative of Paramecium, this single-celled creature has a strong but fl exible exterior covered with rows of cilia; but it ...

Recoverable Robust Timetable Information

Timetable information is the process of determining a suitable travel route for a passenger. Due to delays in the original timetable, in practice it often happens that the travel route cannot be used as originally planned. For a passenger being already en route, it would hence be useful to know about alternatives that ensure that his/her destination can be reached. In this work we propose a rec...

Automatic Timetable Generation System

This paper discusses the various approaches that can be taken to solve the timetable generation problem. Timetable generation is basically a constraint satisfaction problem. The methods discussed in this paper are capable of handling both soft and hard constraints. Once the final timetable has been generated, teachers and students can access it through three different views i.e., class view, la...

Interfacial photochemistry of retinal proteins

Retinal proteins are membrane-bound protein pigments that contain vitamin A aldehyde (retinal) as the chromophore. They include the visual pigment rhodopsin and four additional ones in the plasma membrane of Halobacterium salinarium (formerly Halobacterium halobium ). These proteins maintain a ®xed and asymmetric orientation in the membranes, and respond to a light stimulus by generating vector...
