What is it famous for? Two words: DNA sequencing. Although initially focused on sequencing cDNAs, The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) is perhaps best known for completing the first genomic sequence of a living organism. That sequence, of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, was published in 1995 and was soon followed by that of Mycoplasma genitalium. Since then, about a dozen microorgani...

1 Institute of Telecommunications 1 This report is to give an overview over the recent activities in teaching and research at the Institute of Telecommunications at Vienna University of Technology. The reporting period 2009—2013 was one of profound changes: after I became head of institute in 2010, we implemented the merger with the former Institute of Broadband Communications – because of the ...

Introduction This paper addresses the complexity of industry-academia research partnerships which include students in tripartite management research activities. The context for the paper is “Education about and for sustainability in Australian Business Schools”, a project undertaken by several Australian universities in collaboration with the Australian Research Institute in Education for Susta...

Prevention through Design (PtD) research is central to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) national PtD initiative. Research is needed to support PtD efforts in all of the other three functional areas (Practice, Policy, and Education) and within all eight industry sectors. The PtD concept is new to many industry sectors. An understanding of how the PtD concept ca...

Silicon physical unclonable functions (PUF) utilize the variation during silicon fabrication process to extract information that will be unique for each chip. There have been many recent approaches to how PUF can be used to improve security related applications. However, it is well-known that the fabrication variation has very strong spatial correlation and this has been pointed out as a securi...

We provide characterization and stability results for the stationary equilibria of a competitive infinite-horizon model that incorporates the nutritional requirements of physical labor. We find that for many aggregate land stocks, there is a large continuum of stationary equilibrium unemployment rates. Since unemployment can be seen to stem from inequality in the initial distribution of land ow...
