The Machine–Organism Distinction
The idea that analysis of organisms can proceed by distinguishing organisms from machines is common to many areas of philosophy. This thesis argues that our search for a philosophy of organisms should not proceed by defining or relying on a Machine–Organism Distinction (MOD). We are often able to …

A microfabricated dielectrophoretic micro-organism concentrator
… project focuses on the development of a micro-organism concentrator. Pathogen detection, particularly MEMS based detection, is often limited by sample concentration. The proposed concentrator will interface with a pathogen detector. This type of pathogen concentrator can be useful for many …

Generic studies on the oxytetracycline producing organism, Streptomyces alboflavus
The Actinomycete organism, Streptomyces alboflavus, produces the antibiotic oxytetracycline. Treatment with curing agents resulted in S. alboflavus losing the ability to produce oxytetracycline. However, the loss of oxytetracyc1ine production was reversible, and non-producing colonies regained the …

Organism of options : a design strategy for flexible space
The need for "flexibility" of architecture has been increasing as recent social demands are rapidly changing. However, many buildings designed in the name of flexibility are blocky, boring, and actually quite inflexible because of incomplete systems, or simple bad planning. A space is designed and …

Polyphibianism: Evolving Transdisciplinarity into an Imaginary Organism of Living Knowledge
… the higher dimensional Bride as a polyphibic organism of living knowledge with access to higher orders of awareness, able to guide the Bachelor’s apparatus of mechanical production and preservation of knowledge out of its predicament. Informed by peculiar Duchampian experiments that challenged …

Three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry study of marine organism wake behavior
… studying flow behavior in the wakes of marine organisms. Previous studies have been limited by the restrictions of other flow measurement techniques, and have been largely confined to 2D analysis. This paper describes the methods by which 3D-PTV can be optimized for this purpose, including …

Dynamic and structural basis of complex behaviour in a ciliated unicellular organism
… complexity in the behaviour of life’s smallest organisms is typically overlooked. Despite their small size and relative simplicity, eukaryotic microorganisms routinely perform remarkably sophisticated actions, from directional sensing and tactic navigation to prey capture, feeding, and even …

Human canalization and female growth buffering with Drosophila as a model organism
… Drosophila melanogaster was employed as a model organism to investigate female canalization as an ancestral biological and evolutionary mechanism present in both Drosophila and humans. Human results indicate that girls are less sensitive to adverse environmental conditions and show more stable …

Genetic Studies on the Circadian Clock in the Model Organism Drosophila Melanogaster
<p>Although the basic neural mechanism that regulates circadian behavior in Drosophila is known in quite some detail, several aspects of this biological process still remain to be elucidated. In this study a variety of genetic and molecular approaches was used to identify and characterize genes …

Analysis of Neuronal Diseases in the Model Organism <i>Aspergillus nidulans</i>
Bei neuronalen Krankheiten kann es zu abnormalen Aggregaten von Schlüsselproteinen oder zur Fehlfunktion von Transportvorgängen während der Entwicklung von Nervenzellen kommen. Während die neurodegenerative Krankheit Parkinson viele ältere Menschen betrifft, leiden insbesondere Kinder unter der …

Discovering bioactive compounds for bone growth: the osteogenicity of marine organism-derived extracts
… the current trend for bioprospecting, marine organisms - particularly algae - are becoming increasingly known for their osteogenic potential. Such organisms may provide novel treatment options for osteoporosis and other musculoskeletal conditions, helping to address their large healthcare …

Investigating the regulation of tumour associated lipogenesis using the model organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The highly conserved mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway plays a vital role in the ability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to respond to stress conditions, primarily hyperosmotic stress. In addition, there is also evidence that the HOG pathway is …
