Big data in astronomy
greater depths with the Palomar Sky Survey during the 1950s. Astronomers pored over these photographic plates to build catalogues of new classes of objects, such as George Abell’s catalogue of rich galaxy clusters and Berverly Lynds’s catalogues of interstellar clouds. These early catalogues, published on paper in specialised journals, laid the foundations for entire fields of modern astronomy....
متن کاملThe evolution of big ideas
T he history of science is littered with big ideas—from the Earth being a globe, to the theory of gravity, to phlogiston theory, to the theory of evolution and cold fusion—some of which eventually ended up on the great heap of disproven theories as new knowledge proved them to be wrong or unfeasible. In biomedical research, grand visions include the Human Genome Project (HGP) or the Human Brain...
متن کاملShort Toxin-like Proteins Abound in Cnidaria Genomes
Cnidaria is a rich phylum that includes thousands of marine species. In this study, we focused on Anthozoa and Hydrozoa that are represented by the Nematostella vectensis (Sea anemone) and Hydra magnipapillata genomes. We present a method for ranking the toxin-like candidates from complete proteomes of Cnidaria. Toxin-like functions were revealed using ClanTox, a statistical machine-learning ...
متن کاملGreat and Big Ideas in Computer Structures
I went to Carnegie Tech after spending my first 6 professional years designing computers at Digital Equipment Corporation to be part of the startup faculty of the computer science department. Allen Newell, Alan Perlis, and Rod Williams, who headed the Electrical Engineering Department, made this career changing choice easy for me. Like everyone who knew Allen, I feel deeply honored to have know...
متن کاملCommentary Inhibitory receptors abound ?
Receptor biologists have traditionally focused on receptors that are physiologically coupled to inductive responses such as gene expression, cytokinesis, secretion, or entry into the cell cycle. It has generally been assumed that such inductive responses were terminated by ligand decay or receptor desensitization, which lead to cessation of signaling. While such mechanisms are clearly operative...
