The Pattern Next Door: Towards Spatio-sequential Pattern Discovery

Health risks management such as epidemics study produces large quantity of spatio-temporal data. The development of new methods able to manage such specific characteristics becomes crucial. To tackle this problem, we define a theoretical framework for extracting spatio-temporal patterns (sequences representing evolution of locations and their neighborhoods over time). Classical frequency suppor...

The world next door Results in landscape topography

Recently, it has become clear that neighboring multiple vacua might have interesting consequences for the physics of the early universe. In this paper we investigate the topography of the string landscape corresponding to complex structure moduli of flux compactified type IIB string theory. We find that series of continuously connected vacua are common. The properties of these series are descri...

Are Stem Cells the next Therapeutic Tool for Heart Repair?

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and Europe. In recent years, the understanding that regenerative processes exist at the level of the myocardium, has placed stem cell research at center stage in cardiology. A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self replicate) for indefinite periods often throughout the life of the ...
