Exogenous Control

Systems and synthetic biology promise to develop new approaches for analysis and design of complex gene expression regulatory networks in living cells with many practical applications to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In this chapter the development of novel universal strategies for exogenous control of gene expression is discussed. They are based on designer allosteric ribozymes that can function in the cell. The synthetic riboswitches are obtained by a patented computational procedure that provides fast and accurate modular designs with various Boolean logic functions. The riboswitches can be designed to sense in the cell either the presence or the absence of disease indicative RNA(s) or small molecules, and to switch on or off the gene expression of any exogenous protein. In addition, the riboswitches can be engineered to induce RNA interference or microRNA pathways that can conditionally down regulate the expression of key proteins in the cell. That can prevent a disease’s development. Therefore, the presented synthetic riboswitches can be used as truly universal cellular biosensors. Nowadays, disease indicative RNA(s) can be precisely identified by employing next-generation sequencing technologies with high accuracy . The methods can be employed not only for exogenous control of gene expression but also for re-programming the cell fate, anticancer, and antiviral gene therapies. Such approaches may be employed as potent molecular medicines of the future.

This paper uses the metaphor of ‘boomerangs’ articulated by Michel Foucault to discuss the potential for drones to become the ‘next layer’ of urban surveillance in our cities. Like earlier Western technologies and techniques of government that were ‘tested out’ in foreign warzones and then ‘brought back’ to urban centres (the helicopter and its utilization in Vietnam and its return to urban police forces is a clear illustration hereof), contemporary unmanned aerial vehicles hold the potential to act as proverbial ‘Foucauldian boomerangs’ and return from warzones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan to Western cities. The paper explores how a nexus of Surveillance Studies and mobilities research may be a fruitful way into comprehending this new phenomenon. En route the practical applications of drones as well as the historical importance of aerial power are connected to a situational understanding of mobilities. The paper points at a number of challenges for the future and should be understood as a first tentative attempt to set this on the research agenda.

AbstractMost data assimilation algorithms require the inverse of the covariance matrix of the observation errors. In practical applications, the cost of computing this inverse matrix with spatially correlated observation errors is prohibitive. Common practices are therefore to subsample or combine the observations so that the errors of the assimilated observations can be considered uncorrelated. As a consequence, a large fraction of the available observational information is not used in practical applications. In this study, a method is developed to account for the correlations of the errors that will be present in the wide-swath sea surface height measurements, for example, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. It basically consists of the transformation of the observation vector so that the inverse of the corresponding covariance matrix can be replaced by a diagonal matrix, thus allowing to genuinely take into account errors that are spatially correlated in physical space. Numerical experiments of ensemble Kalman filter analysis of SWOT-like observations are conducted with three different observation error covariance matrices. Results suggest that the proposed method provides an effective way to account for error correlations in the assimilation of the future SWOT data. The transformation of the observation vector proposed herein yields both a significant reduction of the root-mean-square errors and a good consistency between the filter analysis error statistics and the true error statistics.

A program to determine optimum contribution selection using differential evolution was developed. The objective function to be optimized was composed by the expected merit of the future progeny and the coancestry among selected parents. Simulated and real datasets of populations with overlapping generations were used to validate and test the performance of the program. The program was computationally efficient and feasible for practical applications. The expected consequences of using the program, in contrast to empirical procedures to control inbreeding and/or to selection based exclusively on expected genetic merit, would be the improvement of the selection response and a more effective control of inbreeding.

Objective - The purpose of this paper is to find out the key research direction and disaster relief optimization method of governments and organizations at all levels in Guangxi to deal with tropical cyclone disasters. Methodology/Technique - In terms of research methods, most of the research results focus on the qualitative research of emergency logistics, and the results of quantitative research are relatively few, but there are many kinds of quantitative calculation methods. In terms of focus, the optimization methods of emergency supplies dispatching are studied more, but the forecast results of emergency supplies requirements are less. Finding - Through literature survey method and in-depth interview method, the research status of emergency logistics is reviewed and analyzed in four aspects: tropical cyclone disaster, basic theory and method of emergency logistics, emergency supplies requirements prediction and emergency supplies dispatching. Through literature combing, there are three main aspects of the discovery. In terms of disaster types, most of the existing research results pay more attention to earthquake, flood and other natural disasters emergency logistics treatment, the results of emergency logistics treatment for tropical cyclone disasters are less, and the results of emergency logistics treatment for tropical cyclone disasters in Guangxi are fewer. Novelty - By comparing and determining the future research direction of this study, we focus on the formation law of tropical cyclone disaster chain in Guangxi, the optimization treatment methods and practical applications of emergency supplies requirements prediction and emergency supplies dispatching. The research results provide theoretical and methodological guidance for governments and organizations at all levels in Guangxi to carry out tropical cyclone disaster relief, and also point out the research direction and focus for further research in the future. Type of Paper - Empirical. Keywords: Emergency Logistics; Tropical Cyclone Disasters; Emergency Supplies Requirements; Emergency Supplies Dispatching; Guangxi JEL Classification: N7, Q54.

The Rich

Even though it is still difficult for many to accept that our minds have the ability to influence and acquire information at a distance, that is to say, by unconventional means, there have already been several attempts to apply these abilities. This paper provides a review of state-of-the-art practical applications of our mind’s ability to obtain information at a distance, even from the future, and its ability to influence, always distantly and unconventionally, the behaviour, emotions, and physiology of human beings and biological and physical targets. Within the rich variety of these applications, some are already common outside the sphere of pure scientific research because their efficacy has by now been validated, while others’ applicability still require fine-tuning so that they too, in a not too distant future, become real mental technologies.

Theory Of Sampling

Collecting a sample is a delicate task that is NOT naively equivalent to simply “taking some of the material”. The question examined is: “What is it exactly?” The problem of sampling in general, and for nuclear decontamination in particular, is properly defined. A theory is presented (Gy’s Theory of Sampling, a.k.a. TOS) that brings all the answers and allows us to put them to work. The author draws form his lifelong experience in research, teaching and practical applications in this domain to emphasize the critical odds (i.e. risks) of not taking sampling explicitly into account when assessing grades and concentrations. The evolution of the acceptance of this theory in the nuclear industry is finally illustrated, and a hopeful glimpse into the future concludes the presentation.
