Feedback control architecture and the bacterial chemotaxis network. by Abdullah Hamadeh, Mark A J Roberts, Elias August, Patrick E McSharry, Philip K Maini, Judith P Armitage, Antonis Papachristodoulou

“…Bacteria move towards favourable and away from toxic environments by changing their swimming pattern. This response is regulated by the chemotaxis signalling pathway, which has an important feature: it uses feedback to 'reset' (adapt) the bacterial sensing ability, which allows the bacteria to sense a range of background environmental changes. …”

Alterations in gene expression associated with invasion of RAS-mutant thyroid tumors and their potential diagnostic and therapeutic utility by Vincenzo Condello, William R Doerfler, Alyaksandr V Nikitski, Daniel M Spagnolo, Ian J Fornal, Gavin M Schmidt, Abigail I Wald, Marina N Nikiforova, Yuri E Nikiforov

“…Introduction: Mutations of RAS genes are detected in a spectrum of follicular-patterned thyroid tumors. Preoperative prediction of invasive cancers based on the presence of RAS mutation alone is challenging because non-invasive and invasive tumors tend to have similar sonographic and cytologic features. …”

Geografia dell’automazione industriale. L’impatto dell’uso dei robot sulle localizzazioni manifatturiere by Lucia Simonetti

“…Robotics seems to be able to slow down (at least in some industrial sectors) the pace of offshoring, but it does not seem to be able to lead to the reshoring of activities to developed economies. And while labour-cost differentials still remain a key feature in firms’ decisions of where to locate manufactures, especially of goods with a high labour content, demand factors, such as the size and growth of local markets, are progressively becoming major determinants.…”
