Cancer systems biology aims to understand cancer as an integrated system of genes, proteins, networks, and interactions rather than an entity of isolated molecular and cellular components. The inaugural Systems Approaches to Cancer Biology Conference, cosponsored by the Association of Early Career Cancer Systems Biologists and the National Cancer Institute of the NIH, focused on the interdiscip...

According to the recommendations of the ICRP and the German Commission on Radiological Protection, areas should be identified where increased radon concentrations in buildings occur more frequently than on the country-wide average. Such regions are characterized by an increased radon potential of the building ground. The highest indoor concentrations were measured in old houses of granitic grou...

At an early stage of designing persuasive technologies there is the challenge of selecting a target behavior and examining variables that prevent it. Within our research we are forming sustainability related persuasive technologies in the context of domestic energy consumption. In this paper we present different types of barriers preventing people from the desired energy efficient behavior. In ...
