This paper discusses the interrelations between physics and biology. Particularly, we analyse the approaches for reconstructing the emergent properties of physical or biological systems. We propose approaches to scale emergence according to the degree of state-dependency of the system's component properties. Since the component properties of biological systems are state-dependent to a high exte...

Rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, and logos are foundational concepts in Writing Studies courses. For this reason, we were delighted to read succinct insightful piece by Feisal Sharif about the appeal of logos. submitted for a first-year course.

Most commercial television channels utilize video logos, which can be considered as a form of a visible watermark, as a declaration of intellectual property ownership. They are also used as a symbol of authorization to rebroadcast when original logos are used in conjunction with newer logos. An unfortunate side effect of such logos is the concomitant decrease in the viewing pleasure. In this pa...

We consider a concept of substitutive structure, called “logos”, in order to study simple substitution, independently of formal or programming languages. We provide a definition of simultaneous substitution in an arbitrary logos and use it to prove a completeness theorem expressing that the equational properties of the usual substitution can be proved from the logos axioms only.

UNLABELLED The availability of advanced profile-profile comparison tools, such as PRC or HHsearch demands sophisticated visualization tools not presently available. We introduce an approach built upon the concept of HMM logos. The method illustrates the similarities of pairs of protein family profiles in an intuitive way. Two HMM logos, one for each profile, are drawn one upon the other. The al...

enoLOGOS is a web-based tool that generates sequence logos from various input sources. Sequence logos have become a popular way to graphically represent DNA and amino acid sequence patterns from a set of aligned sequences. Each position of the alignment is represented by a column of stacked symbols with its total height reflecting the information content in this position. Currently, the availab...

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has undertaken an R&D project whose near-term objective is to achieve a higher level of autonomy in ground-based system operations. The multi-agent system, named LOGOS, is designed to replace human operators in the satellite ground control centers. This paper focuses on the on-going development of the control agent for LOGOS and the use of learning technolog...
