Rival genetics projects build bridges

How to build segregation complexes in bacteria: Use bridges.

In this issue of Genes & Development, Graham and colleagues (pp. 1228-1238) examine how ParBs, which bind to prokaryotic centromere-like partition sites, spread into nearby nonspecific DNA and assemble into higher-order protein-DNA complexes. Spreading is accomplished by looping rather than one-dimensional filamentation, thereby compacting the DNA into an extensively bridged complex.

Determination of Concession Period in Build-Operate-Transfer Projects Using Fuzzy Logic

The build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects are a popular method of privatization of public infrastructure development. There are several risks which might affect a BOT project negatively. Concession period is one of the most important decision variables in arranging a BOT-type contract which should be determined considering the existing risks and uncertainties. A longer concession period is more...

Scoring Design-Build Proposals for Military Construction Projects

The Role of Modelling and Simulation in Design-build Projects

The paper discusses the role of modelling and simulation techniques in large scale construction projects focusing on the opportunities and on the modelling challenges that are specific to this context of application. The paper argues that a methodology based on dynamic multi-process simulation models provides powerful decision support when assessing the performance implications of changes in th...
