Scheduling self-replication
More information Time 13:15 - 13:15Lecturer Dr. Rami Pugatch
The Institute for Advanced Studies PrincetonOrganizer Clore Center for Biological PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about We study the scheduling problem of a self-replicating factor...» We study the scheduling problem of a self-replicating factory. We find that the distribution of optimal replication times has a universal shape. We show that optimality is achievable by random decentralized “critical” scheduling algorithms, that are biochemically feasible. Compared to a serial self-replication factory, this optimal scheduling factory runs faster by allowing several production lines to run in parallel. The excess inventory then decouples these lines, resulting in a universal extreme value distribution for the replication time. We postulate that bacteria that are evolutionary tuned for fast replication, combine this load-balancing scheduling strategy to optimally control the number of parallel self-replicating units within them. We analyze recent data on growth of E. Coli and obtain a good agreement with the measured distribution of division times from which we also infer the growth rate without further fitting parameters. We discuss future prospects for extension and possible experimental tests. -

Atom Trap, Krypton-81, and Global Groundwater
More information Time 14:30 - 15:30Location Tel Aviv UniversityLecturer Zheng-Tian Lu
Argonne National LaboratoryOrganizer Department of Particle Physics and AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The long-lived noble-gas isotope 81Kr is the ideal tracer fo...» The long-lived noble-gas isotope 81Kr is the ideal tracer for old water and ice in the age range of 10^5 - 10^6 years, a range beyond the reach of 14C. 81Kr-dating, a concept pursued over the past four decades by numerous laboratories employing a variety of techniques, is now available for the first time to the earth science community at large. This is made possible by the development of an atom counter based on the Atom TrapTrace Analysis (ATTA) method, in which individual atoms of the desired isotope are selectively captured and detected with a laser-based atom trap. ATTA possesses superior selectivity, and is thus far used to analyze the environmental radioactive isotopes 81Kr, 85Kr, and 39Ar. These three isotopes have extremely low isotopic abundances in the range of 10^-16 to 10^-11, and cover a wide range of ages and applications. In collaboration with earth scientists, we are dating groundwater and mapping its flow in major aquifers around the world.
