Erratum: Biotech slumps in Q1

Erratum

Special: Biotech in Russia

Traditions of Russian fundamental and applied life sciences go back to the last third of the nineteenth century, the reign of “Tzar-Liberator” Alexander II. Basic scientific schools in organic chemistry and life sciences appeared in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Kiev, and Warshaw. Since then, Russian bioscience and biotechnology has experienced rises and falls together with the whole country.

Continuous Q1–q1 Stokes Elements Stabilized with Non-conforming Null Edge Average Velocity Functions

We present a stabilized finite element method for Stokes equations with piecewise continuous bilinear approximations for both velocity and pressure variables. The velocity field is enriched with piecewise polynomial bubble functions with null average at element edges. These functions are statically condensed at the element level and therefore they can be viewed as a continuous Q1–Q1 stabilized ...

Orientifolds and Slumps in G 2 and Spin ( 7 ) Metrics

We discuss some new metrics of special holonomy, and their roles in string theory and M-theory. First we consider Spin(7) metrics denoted by C 8 , which are complete on a complex line bundle over CP 3. The principal orbits are S 7 , described as a triaxially squashed S 3 bundle over S 4. The behaviour in the S 3 directions is similar to that in the Atiyah-Hitchin metric, and we show how this le...

Questionnaire for a Biotech

How and when did your company start, and where are you located? NovaDigm was founded in 2005 by a group of investigators at the los Angeles Biomedical research institute (lA BioMed) and the Division of infectious Diseases at Harbor-UclA Medical center. The company received its first venture capital funding from Domain Associates in 2008 and established its corporate headquarters and laboratory ...
