Eukaryotic Promoter Prediction Workshop
In this workshop we will cover the basics of computational promoter prediction, including:
a definition of promoters and promoter elements
a description of the problem from a computational point of view
methods and tools available
Time permitting working on groups of genes will also be discussed
Among the tools to be demonstrated are the UCSC Genome Browser for definition of upstream regions, and the promoter related tracks, and the Genomatix Genome Analyzer for binding site analysis.

How We Know That We Know:The Process Underlying Subjective Confidence

Institute of Information Processing and Decision Making University of HaifaOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about How do people monitor the correctness of their answers and j...» How do people monitor the correctness of their answers and judgments? A self-consistency model is proposed for the basis of confidence judgments and their accuracy. The model assumes that the process underlying subjective confidence in general-knowledge questions and perceptual judgments has much in common with that underlying statistical inference about the outside world. Participants behave like intuitive statisticians who attempt to reach a conclusion about a population on the basis of a small sample of observations. Subjective confidence is based on the sampling of clues from memory, and represent an assessment of the likelihood that a new sample will yield the same decision. Results consistent with the model were obtained across several two-alternative forced-choice tasks. The model explains some of the basic observations about subjective confidence and generates new predictions. -

Functional Colloids and further materials sought after by BASF

BASF SE Material Physics Ludwigshafen, Germany (Currently a visiting scientist in Prof. Israel Rubinstein's group)Organizer Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials ScienceContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Starting with two colloidal systems where detailed structure...» Starting with two colloidal systems where detailed structure-property relationships guided the optimization of a functional material, the third part of the talk sketches the materials areas where BASF is seeking academic partnerships.
The first exemplary topic addresses the self-assembly mechanisms of synthetic Hydrophobin proteins in their 'dirty' application environment. These proteins invert the hydrophobicity of solid surfaces and are a powerful co-surfactant in e.g. emulsions to enhance the interface elastic modulus. The second part discusses the formulation and fractionation of nanotubes and inorganic crystallization seed particles, where non-covalent ligands adsorb in different geometries, exchange against each other and thus enhance the specificity of individualization and effectiveness. Focus areas for multi-material systems in general include heat management, lightweight composites and materials for electronics, construction or water treatment.
