Penn researcher shows that DNA gets kinky easily at the nanoscale
...member of Penn's Nano--Bio Interface Center, which explores how the fields of nanotechnology, biology and medicine all intersect. "The nanoscale just happens to also be the scale at which cell biology operates," Nelson said. "We're entering an era when we are able to use the tools of nanotechnology to ans...Virginia Tech's System X supercomputer provides super tool for simulation of cell division
...terministic global search algorithm systematically explores the parameter space, finding good values," Watson said. "Then the local search algorithm improves the values from the starting points found by the global algorithm." The parallel computer programs can now be used by others for similar problems. "T......al issue, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment explores ecology in an era of globalization, looking at the impacts of human migration, production systems, and invasive species on ecosystems and people throughout North, Central, and South America.
