RNAs mediate many different processes that are central to cellular function. The ability to quantify or image RNAs in live cells is very useful in elucidating such functions of RNA. RNA aptamer-fluorogen systems have been increasingly used in labeling RNAs in live cells. Here, we use the malachite green aptamer (MGA), an RNA aptamer that can specifically bind to malachite green (MG) dye and ind...

In the context of virtual machines live migration, two strategies called “pre-copy” and “post-copy” have already been presented; but each of these strategies works well only in some circumstances. In this paper, we have a brief presentation of QAVNS and then introduce a new approach which is based on the concept of "informational object", assigning QAVNS-scheme-revision number, and observing th...

This presentation-demonstration discusses the creation of FIRST LIFE, a 75-minute mixed media performance for string quartet, live audio processing, live motion capture video, and audience participation utilizing stochastic models of chemical data provided by Martha Grover’s Research Group at the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Each section of...

We present a novel user interface device based around ferromagnetic sensing. The physical form of the interface can easily be reconfigured by simply adding and removing a variety of ferromagnetic objects to the device’s sensing surface. This allows the user to change the physical form of the interface resulting in a variety of different interaction modes. When used in a musical context, the per...

A tension surrounds the role of gesture and embodiment in live coding performance. Considering historical approaches, we propose a reconsideration of text’s current seat as the de facto universal medium for programming code. We further indicate alternative paths for the fusion of gesture and live coding. One such path, based on the mobile touchscreen platform and employing a sketching metaphor,...

Body rotation under free fall along a desired trajectory can be found in many applications such as sports, entertainment, and manufacturing. An appropriately designed body path could lower the forces at the joints during inversion and thus minimizing potential injury. This paper presents a method of developing dynamic models that characterize the interaction behveen the body of a live object un...
