A call for an international network of genomic observatories (GOs)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are entering a new era in genomics-that of large-scale, place-based, highly contextualized genomic research. Here we review this emerging paradigm shift and suggest that sites of utmost scientific importance be expanded into 'Genomic Observatories' (GOs). Investment in GOs should focus on the digital characterization of whole ecosystems, from all-taxa biotic inventories to time-series 'omics studies. The foundational layer of biodiversity-genetic variation-would thus be mainstreamed into Earth Observation systems enabling predictive modelling of biodiversity dynamics and resultant impacts on ecosystem services.

The founding charter of the Genomic Observatories Network
The co-authors of this paper hereby state their intention to work together to launch the Genomic Observatories Network (GOs Network) for which this document will serve as its Founding Charter. We define a Genomic Observatory as an ecosystem and/or site subject to long-term scientific research, including (but not limited to) the sustained study of genomic biodiversity from single-celled microbes...
متن کاملAdaptive call admission control and resource allocation in multi server wireless/cellular network
The ever increasing demand of the subscribers has put pressure on the capacity of wireless networks around the world. To utilize the scare resources, in the present paper we propose an optimal allocation scheme for an integrated wireless/cellular model with handoff priority and handoff guarantee services. The suggested algorithm optimally allocates the resources in each cell and dynamically adj...
متن کاملA Practical Optimisation Method to Improve Qos and Gos-based Key Performance Indicators in Gsm Network Cell Cluster Environment
The delivering of both good quality of service (QoS) and Grade of Service (GoS) in any competitive mobile communication environment is a major factor to reducing subscribers’ churn rate. Therefore, it is important for wireless mobile network operators to ensure stability and efficiency by delivering a consistent, reliable and high-quality end user (subscriber) satisfaction. This can only be ach...
متن کاملA Two-Threshold Guard Channel Scheme for Minimizing Blocking Probability in Communication Networks
In this paper, we consider the call admission problem in cellular network with two classes of voice users. In the first part of paper, we introduce a two-threshold guard channel policy and study its limiting behavior under the stationary traffic. Then we give an algorithm for finding the optimal number of guard channels. In the second part of this paper, we give an algorithm, which minimizes th...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF THE BELLMAN AND ZADEH'S PRINCIPLE FOR IDENTIFYING THE FUZZY DECISION IN A NETWORK WITH INTERMEDIATE STORAGE
In most of the real-life applications we deal with the problem of transporting some special fruits, as banana, which has particular production and distribution processes. In this paper we restrict our attention to formulating and solving a new bi-criterion problem on a network in which in addition to minimizing the traversing costs, admissibility of the quality level of fruits is a main objecti...
