چکیده
Computer simulation approaches are starting to be used more extensively throughout scientific investigations. Some scientists, however, are skeptical about the benefits of simulation. We present computer simulation as a scientific instrument in order to explore issues of their construction and use, which we believe might increase their acceptance within science. We highlight the need to understand the model which the simulation implements, and examine the importance of calibrating simulations and presenting them in an open way to provide scientific reproducibility.

متن کاملCoSMoS Unravels Mysteries of Transcription Initiation
Using a fluorescence method called colocalization single-molecule spectroscopy (CoSMoS), Friedman and Gelles dissect the kinetics of transcription initiation at a bacterial promoter. Ultimately, CoSMoS could greatly aid the study of the effects of DNA sequence and transcription factors on both prokaryotic and eukaryotic promoters.
متن کاملCOSMOS: the COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System
The newly-developed cosmic-ray method for measuring area-average soil moisture at the hectometer horizontal scale is being implemented in the COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System (or the COSMOS). The stationary cosmic-ray soil moisture probe measures the neutrons that are generated by cosmic rays within air and soil and other materials, moderated by mainly hydrogen atoms located primarily ...
متن کاملSearch for Cosmic Strings in the COSMOS Survey
We search the COSMOS survey for pairs of galaxies consistent with the gravitational lensing signature of a cosmic string. The COSMOS survey imaged 1.64 square degrees using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Our technique includes estimates of the efficiency for finding the lensed galaxy pair. We find no evidence for cosmic strings with a mass per uni...
