Systems Biology: Hope versus Hype The approaches to and therefore the definitions of systems biology have been varied. These range from collections of physiological data with quantified molecular parts lists (e.g., genes, expression levels, localizations) to abstract mathematical modeling of biological processes. The scale at which the discipline of systems biology focuses on a specific questio...

Overlooking one of the world’s finest natural harbors, the San Diego Convention Center played host to the 46th annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) on December 9–13, 2006. More than 6,000 scientists and over 3,500 presentations of scientific research spanned traditional cell biology topics and extended to include cell biology of diseases, biosensors and computational a...

UNLABELLED The Python Simulator for Cellular Systems (PySCeS) is an extendable research tool for the numerical analysis and investigation of cellular systems. AVAILABILITY PySCeS is distributed as Open Source Software under the GNU General Public Licence and is available for download from http://pysces.sourceforge.net CONTACT [email protected].

The scientific goal of this graduate program is to gain insight into the dynamics and the molecular assembly of cellular molecules, about their recognition on the membrane surface, and on the initiation and performance of cellular processes, such as membrane transport, motility, and differentiation. Functional and structural investigations are carried out on both model and native systems, from ...

Cellular manufacturing (CM) is one of the most important subfields in the design of manufacturing systems and as a recently emerged field of study and practice, virtual cellular manufacturing (VCM) inherits the importance from CM. One type of VCM problems is VCM with alternative processing routes from which the route for processing each part should be selected. In this research, a bi-objective ...

micrornas (mirnas) represent a class of small non-coding rna molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. they play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. ionizing radiation (ir) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. recently it has been discovered that mi...

landsat data for 1992, 2000, and 2013 land use changes for ekbatan dam watershed was simulated through ca-markov” model. two classification methods were initially used, viz. the maximum likelihood (mal) and support vector machine (svm). although both methods showed high overall accuracy and kappa coefficient, visually mal failed in separating land uses, particularly built up and dry lands.there...
