Uncomputability and Physical Law by Lloyd, Seth

“…In particular, the form of the energy spectrum of quantum systems capable of universal computation is uncomputable: to answer whether a Hamiltonian system is gapped or gapless in a particular sector requires one to solve the Halting problem. Finally, the problem of determining the most concise expression of physical laws requires one to determine the algorithmic complexity of those laws, and so, the answer to this problem is uncomputable.…”

Within-host evolution of HIV-1 and the analysis of transmissible diversity by English, SE

“…<p>The central problem for researchers of HIV-1 evolution is explaining the apparent design of the virus for causing pandemic infection in humans: understanding how HIV-1 spreads is key to halting the pandemic. Current knowledge of how HIV-1 spreads from host to host is based upon experimental observation and indirect inferences informed by theory. …”

Recycled melanoma-secreted melanosomes regulate tumor-associated macrophage diversification by Parikh, Roma, Parikh, Shivang, Berzin, Daniella, Vaknine, Hananya, Ovadia, Shai, Likonen, Daniela, Greenberger, Shoshana, Scope, Alon, Elgavish, Sharona, Nevo, Yuval, Plaschkes, Inbar, Nizri, Eran, Kobiler, Oren, Maliah, Avishai, Zaremba, Laureen, Mohan, Vishnu, Sagi, Irit, Ashery-Padan, Ruth, Carmi, Yaron, Luxenburg, Chen, Hoheisel, Jörg D, Khaled, Mehdi, Levesque, Mitchell P, Levy, Carmit

“…Our findings suggest that interactions mediated by second-hand extracellular vesicles contribute to the formation of the metastatic niche, and that blocking the melanosome cues of macrophage diversification could be helpful in halting melanoma progression.…”

Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). Their culture extracts were screened for antibacterial activity using filter-disc assay. …”

In-vitro compatibility evaluation of fungal mixed culture for bioconversion of domestic wastewater sludge by Molla, Abul Hossain, Fakhru'l‐Razi, Ahmadun, Abd‐Aziz, Suraini, Hanafi, Mohamed Musa, Alam, Md. Zahangir

“…Two different fungi were grown in the same petri dish 4 cm apart in two culture media, potato dextrose agar (PDA) and malt extract agar (MEA). Fifteen different in-vitro interactions were studied and summarized according to five possible outcomes, i.e., mutual intermingling, partial mutual intermingling, inhibition at contact point, inhibition at a distance and replacement. …”

A case study of construction dispute – case A & B by Ong, Simon Yeow Kuan.

“…This would result in a vicious cycle: them delaying construction due to inadequate cash flow, and the owner withholding payment due to the delay, resulting in a halt in construction. This Final Year Project (“FYP”) will look into a case dispute involving a domestic sub-contractor and the main contractor. …”
