Embodiment vs. Memetics: Is Building a Human getting Easier?
This heretical article suggests that while embodiment was key to evolving human culture, and clearly affects our thinking and word choice now (as do many things in our environment), our culture may have evolved to such a point that a purely memetic AI beast could pass the Turing test. Though making something just like a human would clearly require both embodiment and memetics, if we were forced...
متن کاملGetting Rid of Species ?
This paper explores the implications of generalizing the species problem as a special case of the taxon problem. Once a decision is made about what taxa in general are to represent, then species in particular are simply the least inclusive taxon of that type. As I favor a Hennigian phylogenetic basis for taxonomy, I explore the application of phylogenetics to species taxa. Furthermore, I advoca...
متن کاملBroad spectrum microarray for fingerprint-based bacterial species identification
BACKGROUND Microarrays are powerful tools for DNA-based molecular diagnostics and identification of pathogens. Most target a limited range of organisms and are based on only one or a very few genes for specific identification. Such microarrays are limited to organisms for which specific probes are available, and often have difficulty discriminating closely related taxa. We have developed an alt...
متن کاملEmerging Bacterial Infection: Identification and Clinical Significance of Kocuria Species
Recently there have been reports of gram-positive cocci which are morphologically similar to both Staphylococci and the Micrococci. These bacteria have been identified as Kocuria species with the help of automated identification system and other molecular methods including 16S rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) evaluation. Kocuria belongs to the family Micrococcaceae which also includes Staphylo...
متن کاملExtensive Identification of Bacterial Riboflavin Transporters and Their Distribution across Bacterial Species
Riboflavin, the precursor for the cofactors flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide, is an essential metabolite in all organisms. While the functions for de novo riboflavin biosynthesis and riboflavin import may coexist in bacteria, the extent of this co-occurrence is undetermined. The RibM, RibN, RfuABCD and the energy-coupling factor-RibU bacterial riboflavin transporters ...
