Abstract Background Modern data generation techniques used in distributed systems biology research projects often create datasets of enormous size and diversity. We argue that order to overcome the challenge managing those large quantitative maximise biological information extracted from them, a sound system is required. Ease integration with analysis pipelines other computational tools key requirement for it. Results have developed openBIS, an open source software framework constructing...
Abstract Summary: The open-source platform openBIS (open Biology Information System) offers an Electronic Laboratory Notebook and a Management System (ELN-LIMS) solution suitable for the academic life science laboratories. ELN-LIMS allows researchers to efficiently document their work, describe materials methods collect raw analyzed data. system comes with user-friendly web interface where data can be added, edited, browsed searched. Availability implementation: software, user guide demo...
Summary Development of workflow and data management systems are challenging because the need to provide a service for users with varying degrees expertise from novices experts more knowledge than developers. We have received feedback developers on functionality usability Swiss Grid Proteomics Portal, now called iPortal , during its first year operation. Monitoring interaction production system under heavy use provided further information how improve efficiency stability. In second, highly...
Abstract A series of eleven public concerts (staging chamber music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Brett Dean, Johannes Brahms) was organized with the goal to analyze physiological synchronies within audiences and associations synchrony psychological variables. We hypothesized that would induce synchronized physiology, which be linked participants’ aesthetic experiences, affect, personality traits. Physiological measures (cardiac, electrodermal, respiration) 695 participants were recorded during...
The cerebral cortex contains billions of neurons, and their disorganization or misspecification leads to neurodevelopmental disorders. Understanding how the plethora projection neuron subtypes are generated by cortical neural stem cells (NSCs) is a major challenge. Here, we focused on elucidating transcriptional landscape murine embryonic NSCs, basal progenitors (BPs), newborn neurons (NBNs) throughout development. We uncover dynamic shifts in space over time heterogeneity within each...
Summary Thyna Petroleum Services (TPS) is a Tunisian joint-venture corporation of the governmental oil and gas company, Entreprise Tunisienne d'Activités Pétrolières (ETAP), Austrian affiliated group OMV A.G. based in Sfax. One future objectives TPS to avoid, or at least reduce, flaring associated contained crude during production. A particular challenge discover process that enables use despite its untypical composition for valorization processes. Use will also reduce greenhouse-gas...
Abstract Background New experimental methods must be developed to study interaction networks in systems biology. To reduce biological noise, individual subjects, such as single cells, should analyzed using high throughput approaches. The measurement of several correlative physical properties would further improve data consistency. Accordingly, a considerable quantity acquired, correlated, catalogued and stored database for subsequent analysis. Results We have openBEB (open Biological...
Auracle is a voice-controlled, networked sound instrument that enables users to control software synthesizer with their voice and interact each other in real time over the Internet. This paper discusses historical background of project, beginning Neuhaus' ‘virtual aural spaces’ 1960s relating them Barbosa's conception ‘shared sonic environments’. The architecture system described detail, including multi-level analysis vocal input, communication data across network, mapping onto synthesizer....
Zirkonium is a flexible, non-invasive, open-source program for sound spatialisation over spherical (dome-shaped) loudspeaker setups. By non-invasive , we mean that offers the artist capabilities without forcing her to change usual way of working. This achieved by supporting variety means designing and controlling spatialisations. Zikonium accommodates user-defined speaker distributions HRTF-based headphone simulation situations when actual setup not available. It can acquire sources from...
A study of 690 participants attending classical public concerts was conducted with the goal analyzing associations between self-reported aesthetic experiences and listeners' physiological responses. The staged chamber music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Brett Dean, Johannes Brahms. Participants' signals were recorded wearable sensors during concerts. After concerts, segments individually presented to participants, participants' segment obtained using Aesthetic Emotions Scale.
<p>Good scientific practice requires good documentation and traceability of every research step in order to ensure reproducibility repeatability our research. However, with increasing data availability ability record big data, experiments analysis become more complex. This complexity often many pre- post-processing steps that all need be documented for final results. poses very different challenges numerical experiments, laboratory work field-data analysis. The platform Renku...

Auracle is a networked sound instrument controlled by the voice. Users jam together over Internet using only microphone. Throughout development process, authors experimented with different approaches to interpreting vocal input and facilitating user interaction. This paper outlines some of tools used implement evaluate those ideas, simulate wide range activities users, facilitate process.
