Building and Testing Scalable Fuzzy Models of Genetic Regulation in Bacteria

Sokhansanj B.A., Rodrigue G.R., Fitch J.P., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US

Recent technological advances in high-throughput data collection (reviewed in [1]) give biologists the ability to study increasingly complex systems as a whole. One example is the DNA chip or microarray, an efficient high-throughput method for [...]

Complex Fluid Dynamics in BioMEMS Devices: Modeling of Microfabricated Microneedles

Liepmann D., University of California-Berkeley, US

MEMS technologies promises to revolutionize health care by providing precise control of biological fluids for both diagnoses and treatments. For example, microneedles can be used for sample collection for biological analysis, delivery of cell or [...]

What to do with Statistical Mechanics when the Figure of Merit Cannot be Calculated: Library Design for High-Throughput Materials Development

Deem M.W., University of California, Los Angeles, US

By analogy with Monte Carlo algorithms, we discuss new strategies for design and redesign of libraries in high-throughput experimentation, or combinatorial chemistry. Several Monte Carlo methods are examined, including Metropolis, several types of biased schemes, [...]

The Inverse Band Structure Approach: Given the desired electronic property, find the atomic configuration

Zunger A., National Renewable Energy Laboratory, US

Modern crystal-growth techniques, such as molecular beam epitaxy or metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition, are capable of producing prescribed crystal structures, sometimes even in defiance of equilibrium, bulk thermodynamics. These techniques open up the possibility of exploring [...]

The Number of Human Genes and Proteins

Davison D., Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pharmaceutical Research Institute, US

The definitive prototype for nanotechnology is the cell. Its many machines and exquisitely controlled internal and external movements are a reference for all researchers working in the field. The complete instructions for every molecular machine [...]

The Vision and Action Plan of the National Nanotechnology Initiative

Roco M., National Science Foundation, US

The vision of novel phenomena, unity in nature, and promise of the most efficient manufacturing length scale has been essential in establishing the multidisciplinary National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The research opportunities and projections of their [...]
