The Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) concept is the first National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) Earth mission to develop implement systematic integration of science application needs at architecture study stage. Prior NASA planning activities presumed that measurement would encompasss so did not explicitly evaluate include applications this However, effort presented here identified,...

Cellular systems present a highly complex organisation at different scales including the molecular, cellular and colony levels. The complexity at each one of these levels is tightly interrelated. Integrative systems biology aims to obtain a deeper understanding of cellular systems by focusing on the systemic and systematic integration of the different levels of organisation in cellular systems....

Linear Energy Transfer (LET) is widely used to express the radiation quality of ion beams, when characterizing biological effectiveness. However, averaged LET may be defined in multiple ways, and chosen definition impact resulting reported value. We review definitions found literature, quantify which using these various have for different reference setups. recorded 354 publications quantifying ...

Mathematical biology has for a long time investigated the dynamics of biomolecular systems by developing numerical models involving (highly non-linear) differential equations and using tools such as Bifurcation Theory for estimating parameters [1]. Mathematical biology provides a firm ground for the numerical analysis of biological systems. However, state-of-the-art quantitative models can hard...

Complex systems science is making substantial contributions to the study of biological systems, and has made a substantial contribution to the new field of systems biology. Systems biology focuses on the systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems using an integrative rather than reductionist perspective. One of the goals of systems biology is to study, model, and understand ...

cobitis faridpaki cobitis faridpaki (mousavi-sabet, vasil'eva, vatandoust and vasil'ev, 2011) is found in streams of the siahrud river in the southeastern caspian sea basin, and this is the first report on reproductive parameters of the newly described endemic loach. reproductive conditions are key parameters of fish populations, and their assessment is very important for endemic fishes. to stu...

introduction: listeria monocytogenes is a serious concern for the food industry due to its high case fatality rate, widespread distribution, ability to survive a wide variety of food processing conditions, and the severity of the illness associated with this pathogen infection. the objective of this study was to determine the growth, cell morphology and biochemical characteristics of l. monocyt...
