Protein-species quantitative venomics: looking through a crystal ball

Looking into the crystal ball

Through a Hazy Crystal Ball : Asia ’ S Economic Outlook

According to Niels Bohr, “It is very difficult to make predictions, especially about the future”! The wisdom of this precept is reinforced when forecasts are made for a region as diverse, dynamic, and volatile as Asia. This diversity is reflected in the enormous differences that prevail in the region’s economic levels and rates of growth in GDP and per capita GDP, in technological sophisticatio...

Crystal ball

Telescopes reveal that elements are formed through the recombination of subatomic particles within supernovae, producing the nebulae in which galaxies coalesce. Microscopes reveal that eukaryotic organisms form through the recombination of prokaryotic cells, producing plants and animals that recombine to propagate as communities. Microscopists and astronomers alike have thus begun to wonder whe...

TEI in a crystal ball

Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is an organization, a research community, and a markup language. Looking back into the history of these three TEIs, this article tries to describe what has been achieved and what its future challenges will be. The historical analysis is based on a closer look at the development of the TEI-L and topics covered by the Guidelines. A final section outlines possible ro...

i-ball: interactive information display like a crystal ball

Executive Overview: An object-oriented spatial display, which allows a user to observe 3D objects from any direction, is one of the emerging technologies in the field of visual interactive displays. The authors proposed and developed a new display of this type. Since the developed system is spherical and transparent, it looks like a crystal ball and is very attractive and expressive. Furthermor...
