Daughter 3T3 cells. Are they mirror images of each other?

Using a new technique to visualize the tracks of moving 3T3 cells and combining it with the visualization of actin-containing microfilament bundles by indirect immunofluorescence (Lazarides, E. and K. Weber. 1974, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 71:2268-2272), I present experiments which suggest that: (a) 30-40% of the pairs of daughter 3T3 mouse fibroblasts in noncloned cultures have mirror sym...

We are very much like each other

Are a set of microarrays independent of each other?

Having observed an m x n matrix X whose rows are possibly correlated, we wish to test the hypothesis that the columns are independent of each other. Our motivation comes from microarray studies, where the rows of X record expression levels for m different genes, often highly correlated, while the columns represent n individual microarrays, presumably obtained independently. The presumption of i...

Different IS Research Communities: Are They Competitors, Complements, or Ignoring Each Other?

A first intuitive hypothesis, regularly supported by IS academics, states that IS research delivered by universities and university research centers tends to be more rigorous. The leading academic researchers in the field rarely quote research results from market research or consulting companies, at least not after completing the introduction of their texts. On the other hand, the majority of c...

Metaphor and Artificial Intelligence: Why They Matter to Each Other

Why is Artificial Intelligence concerned with metaphor, and what special contributions can AI offer to metaphor research? This chapter will indicate why AI needs to study metaphor and will outline what AI has been contributing to the illumination of metaphor, whether it is processed by artefacts or by the human mind. Specific contributions AI research on metaphor that one can already point to, ...
