Towards a new world-ontology

A crucial problem of knowledge representation is that it has to be formal and informal at the same time. Here, ‘formal’ refers to knowledge as a mathematical concept which is thought, and ‘informal’ to knowledge as something which is experienced, i.e. a ‘real’ world phenomenon.

Biogeographic range expansion into South America by Coccidioides immitis mirrors New World patterns of human migration.

Long-distance population dispersal leaves its characteristic signature in genomes, namely, reduced diversity and increased linkage between genetic markers. This signature enables historical patterns of range expansion to be traced. Herein, we use microsatellite loci from the human pathogen Coccidioides immitis to show that genetic diversity in this fungus is geographically partitioned throughou...

Patterns and Software: Essential Concepts and Terminology

One of the first things that any science or engineering discipline must have is a vocabulary for expressing its concepts and a language for relating them together. The goal of patterns within the software community is to create a body of literature to help software developers resolve common difficult problems encountered throughout all of software engineering and development. Patterns help crea...
