Collective surface migration of bacterial cells on a growth medium can lead to interesting spatiotemporal patterns and dynamical behaviors. Studying the rich behavior of these swarming colonies can provide insight in how the multicellular organisms were originally formed. Bacterial swarming is an example of emergent behavior as a result of interplay between the collective interactions of a popu...

Having developed greatly over millennium under its culture, the ancient buildings and old town atmospheres maintain a quality of comfort. However, people only appreciate the “good old” quality and do not think further about the rational reasons why they feel comfort in it. This keeps them from creating their own things and models with good old quality, relying on the imported western thinking a...

While embryonic stem cell biology has shown significant promise, translating this research to the clinic has been challenging due to concerns regarding tumor cell impurities in stem cell injections. To design a culture for embryonic stem cell therapy (to maintain cells for transplantation), cells are placed on a culture dish and monitored using time-lapse microscopy imaging for abnormal growth ...

Software patterns enable an efficient transfer of design experience by documenting common solutions to recurring design problems. However, given the steadily growing number of patterns in the literature and online repositories, it can be hard for non-experts to select patterns appropriate to their needs, or even to be aware of the existing patterns. We describe an implicit culture approach for ...
