Atomic force microscopy (AFM), invented in 1986, expanded the application of scanning tunneling microscopy to nonconductive, soft, and live biological samples (Binnig et al., 1986; Hansma et al., 1988; Marti et al., 1988; Drake et al., 1989). AFM has several capabilities, including characterizing topographic details of surfaces from the submolecular level to the cellular level (Radmacher et al....

Motivation and Objectives Scientific workflows management systems, (e.g., (Missier et al., 2010; Ludaesher et al., 2006; Goeck et al. 2011)) are increasingly used to specify and manage bioinformatics experiments. An experiment is then represented by a workflow in which a large number of bioinformatics tasks are linked to each other. A workflow specification is a framework for the execution of w...

Since their development, structure comparison methods have contributed to advance our understanding of protein structure and evolution (Greene et al, 2007; Hasegawa & Holm, 2009), to help the development of structural genomics projects (Pearl et al, 2005), to improve protein function annotations (D. A. Lee et al), etc, thus becoming an essential tool in structural bioinformatics. In recent year...

The case report of Marti et al. highlights the interest of behavioral and cognitive therapy (BCT) in the treatment of urinary disorders, specially in overactive bladder (OAB). Despite BCT efficacy, and other similar techniques [1], this therapeutic option is not often used probably for 3 reasons: poor patient acceptance for a such treatment, cost of the BCT, and finally, lack of knowledge of th...

A fast-growing theoretical literature on the political economy of reform has provided a sizable collection of models that have deepened our understanding concerning how distributional conflict manifests itself in the political process and can prevent efficiency-enhancing economic reform from taking place (see e.g., Allan Drazen [2000 Ch. 10, 13] for an insightful review). Unfortunately, systema...
