Technoscience is often perceived as an expression of the primacy of utilitarian values that would take over the field of pure and disinterested science. A number of scientists deplore that the age of science for its own sake is coming to an end (Lévy-Leblond, 2000). This common view expressed by active scientists is shared and developed by historians. In a paper describing technoscience as a cu...

omo parte de un proyecto para el desarrollo de un laboratorio de realidad virtual en el CINTEC, esta investigación trata sobre el manejo de estructuras de datos utilizando procesadores especializados, como son los procesadores de señales digitales ("Digital Signal Procesor", DSP), TI320C20 y TI320C50 de “Texas Instruments”. El objetivo de este trabajo es el desarrollar las herramientas de softw...

A large segment of the proteome consists of disordered regions, yet in most cases, little is known about their mechanisms and functions. What are the roles of protein disorder in cell biology, and how do intrinsically disordered proteins function? These are the questions Cell's Robert Kruger posed to Madan Babu, Julie Forman-Kay, and Richard Kriwacki. Annotated excerpts from this conversation a...

The k-parabolic subspace arrangement, introduced by Barcelo, Severs and White, is a generalization of the well known k-equal arrangements of type-A and type-B. In this paper we use the discrete Morse theory of Forman to study the homology of the complements of k-parabolic subspace arrangements. In doing so, we recover some known results of Björner et al. and provide a combinatorial interpretati...

This essay, based on my 2012 MSOM Fellow Lecture, discusses an idea that has been useful for developing effective methods to set staffing levels in service systems: offered load analysis. The main idea is to tackle a hard problem by first seeking an insightful simplification. For capacity planning to meet uncertain exogenous demand, offered load analysis looks at the amount of capacity that wou...
