In this essay, I engage the L.A.–Chicago debate by repositioning both area-specific constraints and visual orders as intermediary variables. This leads the discussion to two considerations that in turn reposition the meaning of the familiar differences attributed to Los Angeles and Chicago. First, a focus on the particular implications of translocal processes for an area allows us to establish ...

Abstract This article provides an ethnographically informed comparative case study of the atrocity archiving work being undertaken by two entities: not-for-profit, civil society organization, Commission for International Justice and Accountability (CIJA), United Nations’ International, Impartial, Independent Mechanism Syria (IIIM). Insights from data collected are read alongside debates within ...

To elucidate gene function on a global scale, we identified pairs of genes that are coexpressed over 3182 DNA microarrays from humans, flies, worms, and yeast. We found 22,163 such coexpression relationships, each of which has been conserved across evolution. This conservation implies that the coexpression of these gene pairs confers a selective advantage and therefore that these genes are func...

This review article explores the use of synthetic biology approaches like gene editing and metabolic engineering to create genetically-modified organisms that can produce commercially-valuable products on large-scale, clean environmental pollutants, serve as efficient biosensors. The Biobrick system includes a registry available genetic information set standard protocols for assembling testing ...
