The microRNA world: small is mighty.
A new paradigm of RNA-directed gene expression regulation has emerged recently, profound in scope but arresting in the apparent simplicity of its core mechanism. Cells express numerous small ( approximately 22 nucleotide) RNAs that act as specificity determinants to direct destruction or translational repression of their mRNA targets. These small RNAs arise from processing of double-stranded RN...
متن کاملThe Simplex Algorithm is NP-mighty
We propose to classify the power of algorithms by the complexity of the problems that they can be used to solve. Instead of restricting to the problem a particular algorithm was designed to solve explicitly, however, we include problems that, with polynomial overhead, can be solved ‘implicitly’ during the algorithm’s execution. For example, we allow to solve a decision problem by suitably trans...
متن کاملIs the Semantic Web a Small World?
In this paper, we describe a structural analysis of social networks on the Semantic Web. We performed a comprehensive analysis of graph-theoretical properties of online social networks based on the Friend-ofa-Friend (FOAF) ontology. Of particular interest were properties related to the small-world phenomenon. More than 1.6 million FOAF documents collected on the Semantic Web were analyzed in de...
متن کاملIs there a small-world in the small world of ants?
How to measure the complexity of artificial simulation or ecosystem? How to know whether a simulation is more complex than another one? How to use simulation to understand self-organization? This article presents a new approach to measure the complexity of artificial life simulation. To achieve that, one identifies in the simulation each parameter that seems relevant to measure simulation compl...
