On sampling SCJ rearrangement scenarios

The Single Cut or Join (SCJ) operation on genomes, generalizing chromosome evolution by fusions and fissions, is the computationally simplest known model of genome rearrangement. While most genome rearrangement problems are already hard when comparing three genomes, it is possible to compute in polynomial time a most parsimonious SCJ scenario for an arbitrary number of genomes related by a bina...

SCJ: Memory-Safety Checking without Annotations

The development of Safety-Critical Java (SCJ) has introduced a novel programming paradigm designed specifically to make Java applicable to safety-critical systems. Unlike in a Java program, memory management is an important concern under the control of the programmer in SCJ. It is, therefore, not possible to apply tools and techniques for Java programs to SCJ. We describe a new technique that u...

Debate percolates over CAFE standards.

vaccines may cause an immunosuppression with lymphopaenia, impaired cytokine production and defective lymphocyte response to mitogenes. These abnormalities were described in subjects vaccinated against measles. This study was performed to analyse the host immune response related to immunosuppression in subjects vaccinated with live attenuated rubella vaccine. Methods: Eighteen schoolgirls, aged...

Resource Selection in CAFE : an Architecture

GDF Briefing 2 - world cafe

In these spaces people access networked, digital design and fabrication tools and, it is argued, can therefore make almost anything they wish. Ideas, designs, experiences and viewpoints are shared between spaces through on-line social media. Makerspaces are globally connected. Indeed, observers and participants consider makerspaces to connect to and express materially various broader social mov...
