Celebrity Studies is a growing interdisciplinary field; its members use diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to explore cultures of celebrity an eclectic range subjects. The fie...

ONE OF THE CHALLENGES of planning scientific programs and editing journals is to remain eclectic. Eclecticism is defined as the process of choosing what appears to be the best from diverse sources. In attempting to do this, abstract graders, meeting planners and editors often offend certain persons who believe that their work is more important than that of others and deserves prominent display....

Cell biology is the study of the structure and function of the unit or units of living organisms. Enabled by current and evolving technologies, cell biologists today are embracing new scientific challenges that span many disciplines. The eclectic nature of cell biology is core to its future and remains its enduring legacy.

Simulations are performed according to the Axelrod model of culture dissemination, with modified mechanism of repulsion. Previously, repulsion was considered by Radillo-Diaz et al (Phys. Rev. E 80 (2009) 066107) as dependent on a predefined threshold. Here the probabilities of attraction and repulsion are calculated from the number of cells in the same states. We also investigate the influence ...

Fashion, as a “second nature” to human being, plays a quite non-trivial role not only in economy but also in many other areas of our society, including education, politics, arts, and even academics. We investigate fashion through a network game model, which is referred to as the fashion game, where there are two types of agents, conformists and rebels, who are allocated on a network. Each agent...

The paper presents a novel concept that analyzes and visualizes worldwide fashion trends. Our goal is to reveal cutting-edge fashion trends without displaying an ordinary fashion style. To achieve the fashion-based analysis, we created a new fashion culture database (FCDB), which consists of 76 million geo-tagged images in 16 cosmopolitan cities. By grasping a fashion trend of mixed fashion sty...

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has emerged as a leading technique for three-dimensional visualization of large macromolecular complexes and their conformational changes in their native cellular environment. However, the resolution and potential applications of cryo-ET are fundamentally limited by specimen thickness, preventing high-resolution in situ visualization of macromolecular structur...
