Plan B: Boxes for network resources
Nowadays computing environments are made of networked resources. Both resources and the networks used to interconnect them are heterogeneous. During a computing session, new resources are likely to appear and some are likely to go offline or to move to some other place. Applications must combine such resources to perform their tasks. Plan B is a new operating system that attempts to make it sim...
متن کاملPlan B for Stimulating Stem Cell Division
Plant development relies on two kinds of coordinated regulatory inputs to generate an optimal plant body. First are inputs regulating the spatial organization of cells in the plant. These ‘‘hardwired’’ inputs are invariant between individuals and their actions are buffered from the environment. Second are variable inputs that modify the development of tissues to optimize growth for given condit...
متن کاملHaving a Plan B for Robust Optimization
We extend the standard concept of robust optimization by the introduction of an alternative solution. In contrast to the classic concept, one is allowed to chose two solutions from which the best can be picked after the uncertain scenario has been revealed. We focus in this paper on the resulting robust problem for combinatorial problems with bounded uncertainty sets. We present a reformulation...
متن کاملPlan B : Emergency Contraceptive Pill
Plan B is a progestin [4]-only emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) that can be taken within seventy-two hours of unprotected sex in order to prevent an unwanted pregnancy [5]. Plan B was created in response to the United States Food and Drug Administration?s (US FDA) 1997 request for new drug applications (NDAs) for a dedicated ECP product, and was approved for sales in the US in 1999. Duramed, ...
متن کاملSecrets for Staying Young
As organisms age, they accumulate cellular damage. Stem cells are needed to replenish tissues, but the damage they sustain over time compromises their ability to maintain healthy tissue function. A number of recent papers further our understanding of how stem cells are vulnerable to or protected from damage. Stem cells may possess intrinsic protective mechanisms that keep them healthy. For inst...
