Fight or unite: Investigating game genres for image tagging

Applications that use games to harness human intelligence to perform various computational tasks are increasing in popularity and may be termed as human computation games (HCGs). Most HCGs are collaborative in nature, requiring players to cooperate within a game to score points. Competitive versions, where players work against each other, are a more recent entrant, and have been argued to addre...

Metabolomics in the fight against malaria

Metabolomics uses high-resolution mass spectrometry to provide a chemical fingerprint of thousands of metabolites present in cells, tissues or body fluids. Such metabolic phenotyping has been successfully used to study various biologic processes and disease states. High-resolution metabolomics can shed new light on the intricacies of host-parasite interactions in each stage of the Plasmodium li...

[Progress in the fight against malaria].

• In 2007, the U.S. provided $257 million in funding for bilateral programs to fight malaria.

The Global Fund ...

Weaklings unite to reorganize cell

Although OSER formation does not appear overtly harmful to cultured cells, nondimerizing forms of the tag are probably a more prudent choice for most studies. ᭿ lthough normally seen as a branching network of membranes, the endo-plasmic reticulum can quickly and dramatically reorganize into a variety of regular, tightly stacked arrays. Referring to these structures collectively as organized smo...
