Dan Fletcher: A recipe for cooking up cellular machines

G rowing up on a big piece of land in Texas, Dan Fletcher explored how things in both the natural and mechanical realms were put together. But in his early school days a particularly traumatic dissection of a bloated fetal pig sent him in the direction of " hard, clean " sciences. By the end of his doctoral work developing new instruments that combined optical and atomic force microscopy (AFM),...

Cooking Up An Open Source EMR For Developing Countries: OpenMRS - A Recipe For Successful Collaboration

Millions of people are continue to die each year from HIV/AIDS. The majority of infected persons (>95%) live in the developing world. A worthy response to this pandemic will require coordinated, scalable, and flexible information systems. We describe the OpenMRS system, an open source, collaborative effort that can serve as a foundation for EMR development in developing countries. We report our...

American Geophysical Union. A new recipe for cooking up a 'mini solar system'.

17 JANUARY 2003 VOL 299 SCIENCE www.sciencemag.org 336 C RE D IT :C A LV IN J .H A M IL TO N The four large Galilean satellites of Jupiter look like a doll’s version of our solar system. But planetary scientists now doubt that the two systems could have formed in the same way. According to the conventional view, the jovian system got its start when Jupiter was still in the midst of forming. All...

Distributed Cooking Recipe Recommendation and Adaptation

In this paper, we propose a distributed recipe recommendation mechanism that utilizes social information for adaptive recipe recommendation in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. A recipe flavor model is first proposed for modeling recipes and validating recipe adaptations. Peers in the network group themselves into communities in which members share common preferences of recipe data. This is helpful...
