Next-Generation Metagenomics: Methodological Challenges and Opportunities

Opportunities and Challenges for Next Generation Computing

ed away and implementations seek to go as fast as possible using a synchronous highfrequency (gigahertz) clock or delay-variation-tolerant asynchronous handshake protocols. To break out of this box, we should consider designs that seek not to hide time but rather to use it to represent information. The key argument for considering this is that spiking times in the human neocortex seem well coor...

Challenges and Opportunities of Airborne Metagenomics

Recent metagenomic studies of environments, such as marine and soil, have significantly enhanced our understanding of the diverse microbial communities living in these habitats and their essential roles in sustaining vast ecosystems. The increase in the number of publications related to soil and marine metagenomics is in sharp contrast to those of air, yet airborne microbes are thought to have ...

Designing Next Generation Clusters with Infiniband: Opportunities and Challenges

Training the next generation of biomedical researchers: challenges and opportunities.

We have entered an era of great excitement and challenge in the life sciences, in which scientific knowledge is changing and accruing rapidly. Many new areas of study, including functional genomics, tissue engineering, and bioinformatics, are being pursued with increasingly powerful techniques, and they present extraordinary opportunities for improving our understanding of health and disease.

Islam; Challenges and Opportunities

Undoubtedly Islamic Revolution of Iran has been the source of Islamic awakening in the middle-east. Therefore Islamic Republic of Iran plays the role of an example and a director of political developments in the region. Islamic awakening in Arab countries has been able to question the dominant discourse of dictators in the middle-east region and topple their regimes. These developments include ...
