Mathematically, chaotic dynamics are not devoid of order but display episodes of near-cyclic temporal patterns. This is illustrated, in interesting ways, in the case of chaotic biological populations. Despite the individual nature of organisms and the noisy nature of biological time series, subtle temporal patterns have been detected. By using data drawn from chaotic insect populations, we show...

Diseases and ailments have afflicted humanity since antediluvian times. Man’s response in treating disease and, on occasion, finding its cause has been synonymous with the evolution of society, no matter how ancient. Therefore, medicine as we know it today is as old as Man, and must have developed with the first awakening of human consciousness, evolving with successive civilisations. It is the...

The talk to be presented is about the domain of mathematical computation which extends beyond modern calculus and classical analysis when numbers are not restricted to belong to a commutative field. It describes the dynamics of complexification, resulting in an endless remorphing of the computational landscape. Nonlinear computation weaves a colourful tapestry always in a state of becoming. In ...

Modern networking applications replicate data and services widely, leading to a need for locationindependent routing – the ability to route queries directly to objects using names that are independent of the objects’ physical locations. Two important properties of a routing infrastructure are routing locality and rapid adaptation to arriving and departing nodes. We show how these two properties...

Research over the past 25 years has led to the view that the rich tapestry of present-day cosmic structure arose during the first instants of creation, where weak ripples were imposed on the otherwise uniform and rapidly expanding primordial soup. Over 14 billion years of evolution, these ripples have been amplified to enormous proportions by gravitational forces, producing ever-growing concent...

Elucidation of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) underlying aspects of leaf development in multiple model species has uncovered surprisingly plastic regulatory architecture. The meticulously mapped network interactions in one model species cannot now be assumed to map directly onto a different species. Despite these overall differences, however, many modules do appear to be almost universal. Extr...

This paper presents a new method for interactive viewing of dynamically sampled environments. We introduce a 3D mesh-based reconstruction called a tapestry that serves both as the display representation and as a cache that supports the re-use of samples across views. As the user navigates through the environment, the mesh continuously evolves to provide an appropriate image reconstruction for t...

Although a subject of intense research, the mechanisms underlying dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains poorly understood. However, a broad range of studies conducted over the past few decades, including epidemiological, genetic, and post-mortem analysis, as well as in vitro and in vivo modeling, have contributed significantly to our understanding of the pathogenesi...
