Much of what we do is accomplished by working collaboratively with others, and a large portion of our lives are spent working and talking; the patterns embodied in the alternation of working and talking can provide much useful insight into task-oriented social behaviors. The available electronic traces of the different kinds of human activities in online communities are an empirical goldmine th...

These are lecture notes associated with the hour-long talk “Stability of patterns in reaction-diffusion equations,” given at the BU/Keio Workshop in Dynamical Systems, during Sept 15-19, 2014, at Boston University. The abstract of the talk was: “Reaction-diffusion equations model a wide variety of chemical and biological processes. Such systems are well known for exhibiting patterns, such as tr...

The last two decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in cell biology data. Not least is this true for studies of the dynamic organization microfilament and microtubule systems animal cells where analyses molecular components their interaction patterns deepened our understanding these complex force-generating machineries. Previous observations cross-talk between now led to realization exist...

results the results showed that compared to the control group, relaxation (23.2) and positive self-talk (21.25) treatment methods alone can reduce pms (p < 0.001). on the other hand, a combined (relaxation + positive self-talk) treatment method (13.75) was more effective in reducing pms compared to relaxation or positive self-talk alone. conclusions it seems that psychological therapy based on ...

Ontology patterns have been pointed out as a promising approach for ontology engineering. The goal of this paper is to clarify concepts and the terminology used in Ontology Engineering to talk about the notion of ontology patterns taking into account already well-established notions of patterns in Software Engineering.

Microtubules, rigid protein polymers found in cells, can be organized into various patterns under the influence of motor proteins. Such patterns are crucial for normal cellular function and development. In this talk, I introduce an integro-differential equation model that describes how microtubules reorganize in space and time, in the presence of motor proteins, to form various patterns in two-...
