Single-molecule enzymology à la Michaelis-Menten.

Over the past 100 years, deterministic rate equations have been successfully used to infer enzyme-catalysed reaction mechanisms and to estimate rate constants from reaction kinetics experiments conducted in vitro. In recent years, sophisticated experimental techniques have been developed that begin to allow the measurement of enzyme-catalysed and other biopolymer-mediated reactions inside singl...

Do We Know What We Do not Know? A Response to Celine Bonnet

Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

Balanceando entre a sensibilidade à riqueza do campo e a praticidade do design de software

Resumo. Abordagens etnometodológicas de estudos qualitativos do usuário propiciam uma descrição detalhada das práticas humanas, no entanto, o caráter retórico enfatizado pelas mesmas dificulta a integração com o design de software. Por outro lado, a argumentação contrária ao uso dos atuais métodos oferecidos por designers é a perda da sensibilidade aos dados do campo devido a análise ser “direc...
