ASC 2018 Introduction

CombinaTexas 2018 February 10 – 11 , 2018

In this talk we give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz’s identity, a new proof of the q-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg’s Hankel q-Stirling determinantal identity. We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function versi...

Since the meltdown of the global financial system in 2008 triggered by the sub-prime mortgage bubble in the United States, there is an emerging consensus, even among economists, that there is a need for new economic thinking2 (See Stiglitz, 2010 & Kaletsky, 2010). The economic thinking that has prevailed in postwar capitalist societies is based on the neo-classical – Keynesian synthesis, hereaf...

Ensembl 2018

The Ensembl project has been aggregating, processing, integrating and redistributing genomic datasets since the initial releases of the draft human genome, with the aim of accelerating genomics research through rapid open distribution of public data. Large amounts of raw data are thus transformed into knowledge, which is made available via a multitude of channels, in particular our browser (htt...

ASC-particle-induced Peritonitis.

In response to pathogen infection and tissue damage, inflammasome sensors such as NLRP3 and AIM2 are activated, which triggers PYRIN domain (PYD)-mediated ASC nucleation, followed by self-perpetuating ASC polymerization, which ultimately culminates in caspase-1 activation, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 processing and release and pyroptosis (Ratsimandresy et al., 2013; Cai et al., 2014). Inflamm...
