Robert Ramsey gives a talk at the LC2CAM conference about meadowlark optics liquid crystal capabilities, next generation nematic LC technology, and "swift liquid crystal" devices.

Dirk Broer gives a talk about optics, mechanics, and complex patterning of liquid crystal networks.

Sin-Doo Lee gives a talk at the LC2CAM conference about the general features of dye-doped systems and binary LC grating, and the surface mediated optical memory and optical rewritability of LC gratings.

Carol Post gives a talk at the RPP08 conference on Src, a mechanism of conformational activation. She covers two topics regarding it Src: 1) Switched electrostatic network 2) long-range coupling of regulatory SH2/SH3 and catalytic domain

For more information about this tip and resource see our blog post at http://blog.openhelix.eu/?p=5360. In this tip we introduce CircuitsDB, a database of MicroRNA / Transcription Factor Regulatory Circuits in Human and Mouse. We demonstrate a basic search and then explore the information provided in the result reports.

Presented by Siddharth Suri, Yahoo! Research Scientist. A fundamental principle in social network research is that individuals can benefit from serving as intermediaries between others who are not directly connected. Through such intermediation, they potentially can broker the flow of information and synthesize ideas arising in different parts of the network. These principles form the underpinning for the theory of structural holes, which studies the ways in which individuals, particularly...

Tropical ecosystems are the biologically richest places on the planet, yet what we know about them comes from scientific studies so specialized that the studies rarely make the local news. “Most ecological studies last fewer than five years at a single study site, with measurements focused on an area of only ten meters squared,” explains Sandy Andelman, Vice President of Conservation International for the Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) network. “Ecology needs to scale...

The Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Translational Science Award (CTSA) Consortium is transforming how clinical and translational research is conducted, ultimately enabling researchers to provide new treatments more efficiently and quickly to patients.

From your local bus route to international air travel, infectious diseases can spread across the globe in a matter of hours. In this video podcast episode filmed at the Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C., Stephen Eubank from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute of Virginia Tech and Daniel Lucey from Georgetown University discuss the role of transportation in the spread of disease and examine the effectiveness of various measures to curb transmission. Stephen Eubank, Ph.D., is a...
