Synthetic immunosurveillance systems: Nanodevices to monitor physiological events

The Response of Fluvial Systems to Large Flood Events

In the summer of 2001, an intense thunderstorm in southeastern Caspian Sea triggered a catastrophic flood in the Madarsoo basin . Use of methods including high-resolution aerial photographs and satellite images interpretation, multi-date mapping, hydraulic calculations and field observations made possible the documentation of the geomorphic impacts on the Madarsoo River and its tributaries. Geo...

Nanodevices come to life.

Tracks through the genome to physiological events

NEW FINDINGS What is the topic of this review? We discuss tools available to access genome-wide data sets that harbour cell-specific, brain region-specific and tissue-specific information on exon usage for several species, including humans. In this Review, we demonstrate how to access this information in genome databases and its enormous value to physiology. What advances does it highlight? The...

Modeling DNA Nanodevices Using Graph Rewrite Systems

DNA based nanostructures and devices are becoming ubiquitous in nanotechnology with rapid advancements in theory and experiments in DNA self-assembly which have led to a myriad of DNA nanodevices. However, the modeling methods used by researchers in the field for design and analysis of DNA nanostructures and nanodevices have not progressed at the same rate. Specifically, there does not exist a ...

Organizing Images from Social Media to Monitor Real-World Events

Everyday, millions of images are posted in social media websites online. Given that in social media websites there are no guarantees of image precedence and quality, making sense of social media imagery presents itself as a challenging task. In this paper, we describe the architecture of a system developed to facilitate the analysis of social media imagery. Our system combines both low-level an...
