Access methods for Big Data: current status and future directions

Heterogeneity, size, timeliness, difficulty & confidentiality problems with Big Data hinder advancement at all phases of the channel that can create value from data. Data analysis, organization, retrieval & modeling are initial challenges for Big Data. Data investigation is a clear traffic jam in many applications, both due to lack of scalability of the core algorithms and due to the difficulty...

CELLULAR OPEN RESOURCE (COR): current status and future directions.

The need for tools to aid the description and sharing of biological models was highlighted at the launch of the International Union of Physiological Sciences Physiome Project in 1997. This has resulted in the release, in 2001, of the CellML specifications (http://www.cellml.org/specifications/). CELLULAR OPEN RESOURCE (COR) was among the early adopters of this standard, eventually forming the f...

Current Status and Future Directions

Myocardial deformation imaging is a novel echocardiographic method for assessment of global and regional myocardial function. As this technology has evolved, it has been applied to an increasing number of research questions, and the number of publications incorporating deformation imaging has grown in parallel. Although not yet sufficiently vetted for routine clinical use, these methods offer t...

Current status and future directions of Lévy walk research

Lévy walks are a mathematical construction useful for describing random patterns of movement with bizarre fractal properties that seem to have no place in biology. Nonetheless, movement patterns resembling Lévy walks have been observed at scales ranging from the microscopic to the ecological. They have been seen in the molecular machinery operating within cells during intracellular trafficking,...
