'All's well that ends': Concluding a deanship

Owl's well that ends well.

Oil's well that ends well.

So there I was - 3am on a cold December morning walking around the pontoons of an oil rig, seawater swirling over my boots, torch in one hand, lead in the other and on the end of the lead.., a diver. How did this happen to a nurse and why wasn't I in a nice warm hospital?

"All's well that ends well" - a proposal of global abduction

This paper presents a new form of abduction called global abduction. Usual abduction in logic programming is used to complement unknown information and used in one derivation path in a search tree. We call this kind of abduction local abduction. In this paper, we propose another abduction which is used over paths in a search tree for search control. As far as we know, this is the first attempt ...

Telomeres and double-strand breaks - all's well that "ends" well. ...

Bailey, S. Telomeres and Double-Strand Breaks - All's Well that "Ends" Well. ... Radiat. Res. 169, 1-7 (2008). Sometimes one's life (including one's science) makes a lot more sense when viewed from the perspective of time, reflected back on over a number of years. That has indeed been the case for me. Strangely enough, the story begins with chromosomes and "ends" with telomeres, both at Colorad...

Retrotransposons that maintain chromosome ends.

Reverse transcriptases have shaped genomes in many ways. A remarkable example of this shaping is found on telomeres of the genus Drosophila, where retrotransposons have a vital role in chromosome structure. Drosophila lacks telomerase; instead, three telomere-specific retrotransposons maintain chromosome ends. Repeated transpositions to chromosome ends produce long head to tail arrays of these ...
