Chromosomal regions can adopt stable and heritable alternative states resulting in bistable gene expression without changes to the DNA sequence. Such epigenetic control is often associated with alternative covalent modifications of histones. The stability and heritability of the states are thought to involve positive feedback where modified nucl...

Droplets on highly deformable, elastic surfaces exhibit unusual wetting behaviour. The deformability of the substrate alters the contact angle with respect to Young’s law, while spreading dynamics is fundamentally different from that on rigid surfaces. Here we report recent experimental and theoretical progress, and highlight some of the salie...

This workshop will explore the science/academic enterprise and pose the question of where new Ph.D. graduates fit. Use of the basic job-seeking skills of networking, interviewing, and negotiation will be discussed in terms of how these skills can aid you in seeking what you want, and avoiding what you don't want.

The problem of state estimation has come to be known as 'data assimilation' in many geophysical applications. I will review data assimilation for the atmosphere, especially for numerical weather prediction. A distinguishing characteristic of atmospheric data assimilation is the diversity and extremely large numbers of observations considered and...

A common observation in data-driven applications is that high dimensional data has a low intrinsic dimension, at least locally. Thus, when one wishes to work with data that is not governed by a clear set of equations, but still wishes to perform statistical or other scientific analysis, an optional model is the assumption of an underlying manifo...

This is a critique of the Chinese work I Ching(the Book of Changes) associated with Confucian science and doctrine. Probably written by a Jesuit, this manuscript is included in, and appears to have been bound with, a group of Jesuit documents of the early 18th century. The author attacks the overall concepts and cites particular texts as contrar...

This manuscript work is a critique of a printed attempt to identify events in Chinese history by their dates in Western chronology – to merge the two chronologies into one all-encompassing chronology (at page [3] the evidence of eclipses is cited). The critique is an essay on the nature of Chinese history, especially its early history, and on Ch...

The Shu-King, sometimes described as the “Canon of History” and the oldest source of pre-Confucian history – indeed, it is supposed to have been edited by Confucius himself – begins by extolling the virtues of the Emperor Yau and his successor Shun. A combination of good qualities, their lives were examples of perfection to be admired and emulat...

By 1732 activities of European missions had been reduced by two decades of Chinese policy to the trading ports of Canton and Macao. This account of overt Chinese xenophobia was written shortly after the events described. The extensive crackdown began on August 20 with a search for fugitives believed to have sought safety in the eight churches in...
