The Only Thing Certain Is Change

Plant stem cells: The only constant thing is change

Recent studies in Arabidopsis have uncovered a negative feedback loop that couples the antagonistic functions of the WUSCHEL and CLAVATA loci to control stem cell fate in the shoot apical meristem. Abundance of the CLAVATA3 protein limits signaling through this pathway.

Agent Performance in Vehicle Routing when the Only Thing Certain is Uncertainty

While intermodal transport has the potential to introduce efficiency to the transport network, this transport environment also suffers from a lot of uncertainty at the interface of modes. For example, trucks moving containers to and from a port terminal are often uncertain as to when exactly their container will be released from the ship, from the stack, or from customs. This leads to much diff...

One Thing is Certain in Design: Design is Uncertain

The uncertainty in design is rooted in the nature of the design problem: the recursive evolution of design problem along with design solutions and related design knowledge (Zeng, 2004; Zeng & Cheng, 1991; Zeng & Gu, 1999). Design uncertainty takes many forms; one most acknowledged form is its unpredictability in that the future decisions are uncertain in its behaviour, in its value, and in its ...
