The immersed boundary (IB) method is an elegant way to fully couple the motion of a fluid and deformations of an immersed elastic structure. In that vein, the IB2d software allows for expedited explorations of fluid-structure ...

The workshop focused on approaches to deduce changes in biological activity in cellular pathways and networks that drive phenotype from high-throughput data. Work in cancer has demonstrated conclusively that cancer etiology ...

The ability for the eukaryotic cell to maintain homeostasis depends significantly on the cell’s adaptability to changes in surrounding environments. In order to maintain an internal balance, protein synthesis is highly ...

Mathematical models of biological systems are often validated by fitting the model to the average of an (often small) experimental dataset. Here we ask the question of whether predictions made from a model fit to the average ...

The Immigrant Preschoolers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania Project is a video ethnographic study that investigates cultural beliefs and practices in early childhood classrooms that are often unidentified or ignored. Preschools ...

Bacillus cereus sensu lato is a group of Gram-positive human and animal pathogens, which (as a survival mechanism) are able to become endospores that can withstand starvation, antimicrobials, wet heat, radiation, and strong ...

With the rapid increase of electronic databases, e-journals, electronic books, and digital collections in libraries, managing electronic resources is also becoming complex and challenging. It is an absolute necessity to ...

Petri nets (PNs) are a form of directed graph that can be used to model and simulate systems. They are very useful tool for developing and analyzing algorithms, prior to implementation. Adding the component of time, allows ...
