In traditional systems engineering (TSE) environments, and particularly in recent years, many are concerned about risk management. So much so that risks are identified early and often, and mitigation techniques are aggressively pursued. In contrast one does not hear as much about opportunity management. What about enterprise systems engineering (ESE) environments? Do traditional methods of hand...

The ESE (epithelium-specific Ets) subfamily of Ets transcription factors plays an important role in regulating gene expression in a variety of epithelial cell types. Although ESE proteins have been shown to bind to regulatory elements of some epithelial genes, the optimal DNA-binding sequence has not been experimentally ascertained for any member of the ESE subfamily of transcription factors. T...

E nvironmental engineering education has a traditional engineering foundation that includes a heavy emphasis on the physical sciences. In contrast, the disciplines of chemical engineering and bioengineering are founded on a strong combination of the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. We believe that the environmental engineering profession needs to address whether to shift from the tr...

Environmental engineering education has been the focus of much attention in recent years. In the past, environmental engineering, more commonly known then as sanitary or public-health engineering, was taught as a subject within the civil engineering curriculum. As time progressed, and with it the realisation of the significance of the new field in engineering environmental engineering it began ...

There is a growing consensus that solutions to complex science and engineering problems require novel methodologies are able integrate traditional physics-based modeling approaches with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques. This article provides structured overview of such Application-centric objective areas for which these have been applied summarized, then classes used construct ...

Developed an integrated intellectual computerized system of ecological-economic monitoring, modeling, and managing the life cycle of the products of technogenic enterprises of transport engineering, which is presented in the form of a 3-equation structure, functioning in conditions of instability. The proposed paradigm system life cycle management applicable to any other control system of large...
