We provide a brief overview of challenges and opportunities in the physical sciences arising from data which is extreme in volume, acquisition rate, and heterogeneity. These require novel methodological approaches ranging from data management to analysis techniques to inference and modelling, affording close links with cutting-edge research in data science. We highlight past methodological brea...

Historically, much of biology was studied by physicists and mathematicians. With the advent of modern molecular biology, a wave of researchers became trained in a new scientific discipline filled with the language of genes, mutants, and the central dogma. These new molecular approaches have provided volumes of information on biomolecules and molecular pathways from the cellular to the organisma...

Reader awareness of article corrections can be of critical importance in the physical and biomedical sciences. Comparison of errata and corrigenda in online versions of high-impact physical sciences journals across titles and publishers yielded surprising variability. Of 44 online journals surveyed, 14 had no links between original articles and later corrections. When present, hyperlinks betwee...

Quantitative methods and approaches have been playing an increasingly important role in cell biology in recent years. They involve making accurate measurements to test a predefined hypothesis in order to compare experimental data with predictions generated by theoretical models, an approach that has benefited physicists for decades. Building quantitative models in experimental biology not only ...

Microform Publications is a component of the International Institute for Sport and Human Performance at the University of Oregon. Since its inception in 1949, Microform Publications has been providing a service to the professional academic community worldwide. Its focus is on the dissemination of graduate research of national and international significance. In addition, Microform Publications p...

Phone: 301.405.6722 ally distributed development teams to assemble highly confi gurable systems from generic services and components and then incrementally adding new features to the system over time. Porter says he “wants to create the revolutionary new tools that will help companies succeed in this new environment”. He believes that this kind of software development only works if you have rap...
