Open source synthetic biology: problems and solutions.
In recent years, the scientific community has made some dramatic advances in the ability to chemically synthesize genomelength strands of DNA. These advances have coincided with a growing understanding of the functions of individual genes and gene networks. With the available knowledge of how whole genomes function, and the technical capability of synthesizing whole genomes, it will be possible...
متن کاملWhat conservationists need to know about farming.
Farming is the basis of our civilization yet is more damaging to wild nature than any other sector of human activity. Here, we propose that in order to limit its impact into the future, conservation researchers and practitioners need to address several big topics--about the scale of future demand, about which crops and livestock to study, about whether low-yield or high-yield farming has the po...

Artificial intelligence focuses on agents carrying out tasks in an environment. Consider the evolution of the agent-task-environment triple. In Good Old Fashioned AI and Robotics (GOFAIR), a single agent typically solved a puzzle in a fully-observable, fully-predictable world. Constraintbased agents were initially proposed in that paradigm. Robot soccer, developed in our lab in 1991, caught on ...

Over the past few months, NASA has been in the news numerous times both for the exciting discoveries of the pair of Mars Rovers as well as the country’s “Vision for Space Exploration.” This vision focuses on the joint human and robotic exploration of the solar system starting with a return to the moon and then the human exploration of Mars. In addition, the vision includes a continued array of ...

Much progress has been made in recent years in the area of information retrieval, in particular as embodied in Internet search engine technology. Much progress has also been made in probabilistic, graph-theoretic AI. What are the possibilities for bringing these two lines of research together — for viewing large-scale information retrieval as a core enabling technology for AI systems, and for a...
