Digital Biology is the computer programming of bioassays using digital microfluidic biochips based on electrowetting on dielectric technology. Digital Biology allows for wide scale automation of procedures in synthetic biology by improving efficiency between 1000 to 100000 fold compared to manual laboratory work, for the first time enabling wide scale rapid prototyping for the iterative creation of biological systems. To successfully decentralize the Digital Biology technology, we want to develop Bioflux Technology—a platform that will automate the synthetic biology flow with great medical and commercial potential. Bioflux Technology will be a combination of a software suite for biologists to plan experiments, a microfluidic device, electronics hardware to run the experiments and the required wetware (biological reagents) to perform a wide range of standardized bioassays used in synthetic biology. About the speaker: Ruediger Trojok is a Diplom Biologist, that invented a novel contraceptive method based on genetically altered lactic acid bacteria. He worked as a freelance consultant for the office for Technology Assessment by the German Parliament on biohacking and synthetic biology.

Landauer Information theory
Rolf Landauers:
“Information is not a disembodied
abstract entity; it is always tied to a
physical representation. It is represented
by engraving on a stone tablet, a spin, a
charge, a hole in a punched card, a
mark on paper, or some other
equivalent. This ties the handling of
information to all the possibilities and
restrictions of our real physical word, its
laws of physics and its storehouse of
available parts.”

The document discusses advanced networking capabilities and applications for research and education both currently and in the future. Today, networks provide megabit bandwidth and IP services focused on campuses, while coordination across networks is loose. Tomorrow, gigabit bandwidth, IP and dynamic circuit services will have inter-domain middleware and high coordination across networks. Today's applications include videoconferencing and sharing small data sets, while remote instruments have limited access. Future applications will support uncompressed HD video, sharing terabyte data sets globally, and routine access to remote instruments. A variety of research applications are discussed that benefit from high-speed networks including distributed computing, telemedicine, astronomy, and tele-immersion.

Community Standards and Tools for Biodiversity Science at NIEHD

rlwalls2008

Biodiversity science is a broad discipline, and there have been multiple efforts to standardize data within and across various sub-disciplines. Darwin Core (DwC) is a standard vocabulary for biodiversity data that has primarily been used by the museum community to describe specimens and observations of taxa. The Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS) specifies minimum metadata for use by the genomic and metagenomic communities. The Extensible Observation Ontology (OBO-E) was developed at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis to more precisely describe ecological data collection. The first part of this talk describes how the Biological Collections Ontology project is developing both the ontology and associated tools to link data from across these three efforts. The second half describes the Data Commons being developed by the iPlant Collaborative, and how it is both taking advantage of and supporting further development of existing community standards for biological data.

Andrea Scharnhorst

When we google, search Wikipedia, and share information on Mendeley, we obviously deal with complex networks of information. But also traditional information spaces – the collections of libraries for instance – and their classification systems are evolving complex systems. This talk explores the possibilities to use concepts and methods from statistical physics to analyze information dynamics. We depart from information dynamics in scholarly communication, and point to current encounters between physics and scientometrics. We discuss more in-depth the evolution of category systems in libraries (Universal Decimal Classification) in comparison to on-line spaces (Wikipedia). The talk closes with an introduction into a new European network – the COST Action KnowEscape – in which information professionals, sociologists, computer scientists, physicists and digital humanities scholars in an unique alliance seek for knowledge maps to better navigate through large information spaces. Talk on June 11, 2013 by Andrea Scharnhorst at the IMT in Lucca, Italy.

Cyberinfrastructure Day 2010: Applications in Biocomputing

Jeremy Yang

2015 illinois-talk

c.titus.brown

This document summarizes a talk titled "AWager for 2016: How SoftwareWill Beat Hardware in Biological Data Analysis". The talk discusses how software approaches can outpace hardware for analyzing large biological datasets. It notes that current variant calling approaches have limitations due to being I/O intensive and requiring multiple passes over data. The talk introduces approaches using lossy compression and streaming algorithms that can perform analysis more efficiently using less memory and in a single pass. This could enable analyzing a human genome on a desktop computer by 2016 as wagered. The talk argues that with better algorithmic tools, biological data analysis need not require large computers and can scale with the information content of data rather than just data size.

Being Reproducible: SSBSS Summer School 2017

Carole Goble

Lecture 2: Being Reproducible: Models, Research Objects and R* Brouhaha Reproducibility is a R* minefield, depending on whether you are testing for robustness (rerun), defence (repeat), certification (replicate), comparison (reproduce) or transferring between researchers (reuse). Different forms of "R" make different demands on the completeness, depth and portability of research. Sharing is another minefield raising concerns of credit and protection from sharp practices. In practice the exchange, reuse and reproduction of scientific experiments is dependent on bundling and exchanging the experimental methods, computational codes, data, algorithms, workflows and so on along with the narrative. These "Research Objects" are not fixed, just as research is not “finished”: the codes fork, data is updated, algorithms are revised, workflows break, service updates are released. ResearchObject.org is an effort to systematically support more portable and reproducible research exchange. In this talk I will explore these issues in more depth using the FAIRDOM Platform and its support for reproducible modelling. The talk will cover initiatives and technical issues, and raise social and cultural challenges.

Digital Science: Reproducibility and Visibility in Astronomy

Jose Enrique Ruiz

The science done in Astronomy is digital science, from observing proposals to final publication, to data and software used: each of the elements and actions involved in scientific output could be recorded in electronic form. This fact does not prevent the final outcome of an experiment is still difficult to reproduce. This procedure can be long, tedious, not easily accessible or understandable, even to the author. At the same time, we have a rich infrastructure of files, observational data and publications. This could be used more efficiently if we reach greater visibility of the scientific production, which avoids duplication of effort and reinvention. Reproducibility is a cornerstone in scientific method, and extraction of relevant information in the current and future data flood is key in Astronomy. The AMIGA group (Analysis of the interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies, IAA-CSIC, http://amiga.iaa.es) faces these two challenges in the European project "Wf4Ever: Advanced technologies for enhanced preservation workflow Science" to enable the preservation of the methodology in scalable semantic repositories to facilitate their discovery, access, inspection, exploitation and distribution. These repositories store the experiments on "Research Objects" whose main constituents are digital scientific workflows. These provide a comprehensive view and clear scientific interpretation of the experiment as well as the automation of the method, going beyond the usual pipelines that normally end up in data processing. The quantitative leap in volume and complexity of the next generation of archives will need analysis and data mining tasks to live closer to the data, in computing and distributed storage environments, but they should also be modular enough to allow customization from scientists and be easily accessible to foster their dissemination among the community. Astronomy is a collaborative science, but it has also become highly specialized, as many other disciplines. Sharing, preservation, discovery and a much simplified access to resources in the composition of scientific workflows will enable astronomers to greatly benefit from each other’s highly specialized knowhow, they constitute a way to push Astronomy to share and publish not only results and data, but also processes and methodologies. We will show how the use of scientific workflows can help to improve the reproducibility of the experiment and a more efficient exploitation of astronomical archives, as well as the visibility of the scientific methodology and its reuse.

The document discusses several "sins" or bad practices that are commonly seen in bioinformatics, including reinvention, lack of reuse, inconsistent naming schemes, and lack of collaboration and data sharing. It provides examples of these issues and argues that greater emphasis should be placed on standards, collaboration, and leveraging existing tools and data. The document also acknowledges that some reinvention may be necessary due to evolving technologies and unmet needs in the field.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Bioinformatics

Duncan Hull

2014 sage-talk

c.titus.brown

This document discusses the challenges of analyzing large datasets from metagenomic shotgun sequencing experiments. It notes that while sequencing costs have decreased significantly, the computational analysis of the massive amounts of data generated still poses major challenges. It introduces the concept of "digital normalization" as an approach to reduce dataset sizes while retaining most of the biological information by removing redundant reads. The document advocates for making analysis tools and datasets openly accessible to help advance understanding of microbial communities from metagenomics studies.

Phyloinformatics and the Semantic Web

Rutger Vos

Phyloinformatics combines phylogenetics and informatics to systematically study and classify evolutionary relationships. It has progressed from closed private data to more open and linked data through standards like ontologies and semantic web technologies. This allows phylogenetic concepts and data to be formalized and connected across resources using unique identifiers and statements called triples. Querying linked phylogenetic data from integrated sources will enable new synthetic research, though challenges remain in deploying these technologies and unlocking legacy data currently locked in publications.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement

IshaGoswami9

As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus, high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology, and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward

Leonel Morgado

We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility

University of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions. Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability. Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields. I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating). I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx

PRIYANKA PATEL

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...

AbdullaAlAsif1

The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young

Sérgio Sacani

The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the ‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space, because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago. We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data 1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’ did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

6. Shannon‘s information theory Nachrichtenübertragung abhängig von: • Signal-Noise-Ratio • bandwith / channel capacity • Available energy • Mutual Information of Sender / Receiver • Data compression Can we apply information theroy on biology?

7. Landauer Information theory Rolf Landauers: “Information is not a disembodied abstract entity; it is always tied to a physical representation. It is represented by engraving on a stone tablet, a spin, a charge, a hole in a punched card, a mark on paper, or some other equivalent. This ties the handling of information to all the possibilities and restrictions of our real physical word, its laws of physics and its storehouse of available parts.” The physical nature of information; Rolf Landauer; Physics Letters A 217 (1996) 188-193

8. Maxwell‘s Demon and Szilard‘s Machine Landauer Principle: • Information gain is entropy loss • Work is an entropy-less energy source • Heat is entropy carried by energy observation: Information processing costs energy per bit dW = kBT ln2 work and heat exchange
