Most accounts of global cities are based upon a ‘zero-sum’ conception of spatial scale that leads to an emphasis on the declining power of the territorial state: as the glob...

Our research group “Participatory local community” (Palco) presented three years ago, at the Prato conference, our first paper on CI and urban planning. Since then, we have continued to conduct research on, with and by communities in which CI is being applied. As our research has produced a set of varying results and concepts around the use of CI, we wished to conduct a meta-analysis of our wor...

To characterize the behavior and robustness of cellular circuits with many unknown parameters is a major challenge for systems biology. Its difficulty rises exponentially with the number of circuit components. We here propose a novel analysis method to meet this challenge. Our method identifies the region of a high-dimensional parameter space where a circuit displays an experimentally observed ...

Challenges to the development of appropriate yet adaptable policy and tools for security of the individual patient electronic health record (EHR) are proving to be significant. Compounding this is the unique capability of e-health to transgress all existing geo-political and other barriers. Initiatives to develop and advance policy, standards, and tools in relation to EHR access control and aut...
