A new generation of technologies is poised to reduce DNA sequencing costs by several orders
of magnitude. But our ability to fully leverage the power of these technologies is crippled …

We have achieved the ability to synthesize thousands of unique, long oligonucleotides (150mers)
in fmol amounts using parallel synthesis of DNA on microarrays. The sequence …

Engineering biology with recombinant DNA, broadly called synthetic biology, has progressed
tremendously in the last decade, owing to continued industrialization of DNA synthesis, …

The kinematics required at a fluid interface where tangential components of surface traction
vanish are discussed. This condition forces one principal axis of strain to remain aligned with …

DNA has recently emerged as an attractive medium for archival data storage. Recent work
has demonstrated proof-of-principle prototype systems; however, very uneven (biased) …

Observations are reported for the three‐dimensional vortex structure created by a dyed water
drop impacting a pool of water. The structure and evolution of the vorticity is studied for a …

Experimental observations are reported on the evolution of a vortex ring for the first 70 ms
after it is created by the impact of a dyed water drop upon a pool of clear water. The 2.6 mm …

The construction of a novel apparatus to study the formation, evolution and decay of vortex
rings created by liquid drops impacting upon a liquid pool is reported. Other phenomena …

In this paper we describe the kinematics required to satisfy the dynamics of an interface
where tangential surface tractions vanish. This assumption is often used to mode1 air-water …

In 2003, thanks to Michael Lewis and his best seller Moneyball, the general manager of the
Oakland A’s, Billy Beane, became a star. The previous year, Beane had turned his back on …
