This article describes the development of a prototype Resilience Analysis Grid for rail traffic management. The findings from testing of the initial model led to the identification of a set of potential vectors for improvement, in particular the need to integrate trade-offs. Based on Resilience Engineering trade-off theory this paper discusses how to integrate trade-offs into the system descrip...

We describe Scusi?, a spoken language interpretation mechanism designed to be part of a robot-mounted dialogue system. Scusi?’s interpretation process maps spoken utterances to text, which in turn is parsed and then converted to conceptual graphs. In order to support robust and flexible performance of the dialogue module, Scusi? maintains multiple options at each stage of the interpretation pro...

BACKGROUND The ATP7A gene encodes the ATP7A protein, which is a trans-Golgi network copper transporter expressed in the brain and other organs. Mutations in this gene cause disorders of copper metabolism, such as Menkes disease. Here we describe the novel and unusual mutation (p.T1048I) in the ATP7A gene of a child with Menkes disease. The mutation affects a conserved DKTGT1048 phosphorylation ...
