I describe my path to unconventionality in my exploration of theoretical and applied aspects of computation towards revealing the algorithmic and reprogrammable properties and capabilities of the world, in particular related to applications of algorithmic complexity in reshaping molecular biology and tackling the challenges of causality in

The interplay of ecology and evolution has always fascinated theorists. The aim of this symposium is to illuminating current ideas and developments and to open the doors to new perspectives and unconventional approaches. Important questions expected to indicate directions for future research are outlined.

Aqueous humor flows out of the eye primarily through the conventional outflow pathway that includes the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal. However, a fraction of aqueous humor passes through an alternative or 'unconventional' route that includes the ciliary muscle, supraciliary and suprachoroidal spaces. From there, unconventional outflow may drain through two pathways: a uveoscleral path...

objective brain abscesses represent organized foci of suppuration within the parenchyma. here we report a 3 month-old girl with a very huge complicated cerebral abscess, and the course of treatment given. the patient's recovery was excellent. the follow up mri showed only subtle porencephalic changes as the only parenchymal sequelae, which may be due to cns plasticity in infants.

migraine is a primary headache which is very common in the society. although it is usually starts in a salient point in life span of an individual diagnostically, the repetition of acute stress response such as sleep abnormalities, anxiety, and depression are not new in this population. therefore, they have had almost a long diary of these abnormalities. in order to understand the role/s of str...

The orientation dependence of Charpy toughness has been investigated in API-X80 linepipe steel. The occurrence of delamination and preferential alignment of {100} cleavage planes are found to contribute to the observed anisotropy in Charpy properties. Delamination is also related to the presence of banding in the hot–rolled alloy, and the additional plasticity it entails during the process of f...

This lecture gives a basic introduction into some aspects of the unconventional superconductivity. First we analyze the conditions to realize unconventional superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems. Then an introduction of the generalized BCS theory is given and several key properties of unconventional pairing states are discussed. The phenomenological treatment based on the Gi...

The main goal of this study was to develop a new processing technology for a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel in order to maximize the mechanical properties attainable at its low alloy levels. Samples of the steel were processed using thermal deformation schedules carried out in single-phase (γ) and dual-phase (γ + α) regions. The samples were rolled at unconventional finishing temperatures...

Neurotransmitters are also involved in functions other than conventional signal transfer between nerve cells, such as development, plasticity, neurodegeneration, and neuroprotection. For example, there is a considerable amount of data indicating developmental roles for the glutamatergic, cholinergic, dopaminergic, GABA-ergic, and ATP/adenosine systems. In this review, we discuss the existing li...

An important mechanism underlying synapse development and plasticity is the localization of mRNAs that travel from the nucleus to synaptic sites. Here we demonstrate that the giant nuclear-associated Nesprin1 (dNesp1) forms striated F-actin-based filaments, which we dubbed "railroad tracks," that span from muscle nuclei to postsynaptic sites at the neuromuscular junction in Drosophila. These ra...
