In this paper we present a novel approach, called FuseJ, for achieving a symbiosis between Aspect-Oriented and Component-Based Software Development. We build on previous research that proposes a new AspectOriented programming language tailored for the Component-Based field, called JAsCo. Although JAsCo provides us with some nice results, we argue that a symbiosis between aspects and components ...

Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a mutually beneficial association very commonly found among most vascular plants. Formation of mycorrhiza happens only between compatible partners and predicting this is often accomplished through a trial and error process. We investigated the possibility of using expression of symbiosis specific genes as markers to predict the formation of ectomycorrhiza. We used antib...

Symbiotic associations occur in every habitat on earth, but we know very little about their evolutionary histories. Current models of trait evolution cannot adequately reconstruct the deep history of symbiotic innovation, because they assume homogenous evolutionary processes across millions of years. Here we use a recently developed, heterogeneous and quantitative phylogenetic framework to stud...

The overall goal of this project was to formulate a set of economic development objectives that draw on food-related industrial symbiosis opportunities in New Haven, Connecticut. Our research and analysis looked at existing food sector operations within the city’s boundaries and incorporated potential new businesses that might be established in New Haven, especially in the waterfront district. ...

Certain cyanobacteria can form symbiotic associations with plants, where the symbiont supplies the plant partner with nitrogen and in return obtains sugars. We recently showed that in the symbiotic cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme, a glucose specific permease, GlcP, is necessary for the symbiosis to be formed. Results presented here from growth yield measurements of mutant strains with inactiv...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a class of gene expression regulators that play crucial roles in many biological processes. Recently, several reports have revealed that micoRNAs participate in regulation of symbiotic interaction between plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. However, the role of miRNAs in another type of plant-microbe interaction, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis...

Human Computer Symbiosis is similar to Human Computer Interaction in the sense that it is about how humans and computer interact with each other. For this interaction to be made there needs to be a symbiotic relationship between man and computer. Man can interact with computer in many ways, either just by typing with the keyboard or surfing the web. The cyber-physical-socio space is an importan...

We speculate that heterotrophic and/or silica-rich eukaryotic microorganisms maybe an important part of the lichen symbiosis. None of the very few studies of heterotrophic protists associated with lichens have considered the possibility that they may be of functional significance in the lichen symbiosis. Here we start to develop, currently speculative, theoretical ideas about their potential si...

In this paper we present the results of a case study of using multiparadigm programming, more concretely, Logic and OO symbiosis. The case study consists of the implementation of sections of a weaver for aspect-oriented programming. We have implemented such a weaver for transaction management, and in this paper we show how multi-paradigm programming in the logic and object-oriented paradigm usi...
