Arts BIOS IN THE NEXT MILLENNIUM BIOS Progress

چکیده
Despite years of research, bios – life – has only been found on our planet. Yet this most valuable possession is threatened by arrogance and oversight. We cannot stop technological progress but we have the possibility to guide it in the right direction. We have opened Pandora’s box, but unlike the ancient myth, we have the option of controlling its unintended consequences if we place respect for and appreciation of bios at the core of society.

Biology Intensive Orientation for Students (BIOS): a biology "boot camp".
The Biology Intensive Orientation for Students (BIOS) Program was designed to assess the impact of a 5-d intensive prefreshman program on success and retention of biological science majors at Louisiana State University. The 2005 pilot program combined content lectures and examinations for BIOL 1201, Introductory Biology for Science Majors, as well as learning styles assessments and informationa...
متن کاملOpen Source in Biotechnology: Open Questions Innovations Case Discussion: CAMBIA-BiOS
rate and direction of progress in biology is constrained by available tools; a novel tool can set the field on a new and more productive course, but only if creative scientists are free to use it. The history of -glucuronidase (GUS) marker genes illustrates the great impact a technology can have when it is novel, useful, and globally available on reasonable terms. Now Jefferson’s energy is dire...
متن کاملSymbolic Execution for BIOS Security
We are building a tool that uses symbolic execution to search for BIOS security vulnerabilities including dangerous memory references (call outs) by SMM interrupt handlers in UEFI-compliant implementations of BIOS. Our tool currently applies only to interrupt handlers for SMM variables. Given a snapshot of SMRAM, the base address of SMRAM, and the address of the variable interrupt handler in SM...
متن کاملbiology-oriented synthesis (BIOS)
Biology-oriented synthesis (BIOS) represents an alternative approach for the generation of compound collections for biological applications. In BIOS, biologically relevant and prevalidated scaffold structures, such as core structures of natural products or known drugs, are employed as scaffolds for the generation of compound collections with focused diversity. In this review, we discuss the und...
متن کاملReview of the Surface Chemical Heterogeneity of Bacteriogenic Iron Oxides: Proton and Cadmium Sorption
This review focuses on the detailed characterization of proton and metal reactivity on the surface of bacteriogenic iron oxides (BIOS). This substance is composed of a highly porous matrix of ferrihydrite intermixed with intact and fragmented Gallionella ferruguinea cells. Studies concerning proton and metal cation binding to the BIOS were designed to assess their surface chemical heterogeneity...
