生物系统和人工生物系统的结构理论 - 图论、网络拓扑学模型与整合、稳态和建构规律(1993年BJ.Zeng),构成系统与合成生物学(词汇在1994年和1999年引用的相关文献里)的理论基础。 Constructive(建构) biology? Think of the cell as operating system, and engineers taking the place of traditional biologists in retooling stripped down components of cells (bio-bricks) in much the vein as in the late 70s when electrical engineers were working their way to the first personal computer by assembling circuit boards, hard drives, monitors, etc. It's not an accident that the phrase bio-hackers is in the conversation, as this new crowd has a lot in common with the computer engineers who were around the homebrew computer club of the '70s leading the development of the personal computer. - http://edge.org/conversation/constructive-biology - (系统遗传学、系统医药学和系统生物工程术语BJ.Zeng于1992年和1994年coined) 系统遗传学参见 - 荷兰( http://www.systemsgenetics.nl/ ),美国能源部( http://web.ornl.gov/sci/ees/bsd/groups/mg.shtml )和相关大学( http://compgen.unc.edu/wp/ )、研究所( http://www.med.nyu.edu/research/systemsgenetics ),挪威整合(Integrative)遗传学研究中心( http://cigene.no/ )等。
Dear Colleague: We would like to let you know of our symposia Failure of Small-Scale Structures at the 2010 TMS Annual Meeting. This symposia will focus on failures in small scale structures (flexible and semiconductor electronic systems, actuators, resonating cantilever, biological systems, fuel cells, MEMS devices, etc) and will discuss combinations of possible failure mechanisms. Possible mechanisms could include, but are not limited to: electromigration, diffusion, crack formation and propagation, oxidation, corrosion, fatigue (thermal, corrosion, cyclic), creep, delamination, wear etc. Anticipated topics include: fracture and deformation of small-scale biological systems, nanowires/nanotubes, thin films and film structures, microlectronics, MEMS, micro pillars, etc. . Invited speakers to include: Markus Buehler (MIT), Bob Keller (NIST), Jianyu Huang (Sandia National Labs), Xiao-Yan Gong (Medical Implant Mechanics), William Nix (Stanford), Daniel Gianola (U. Penn), Julia Greer (Cal Tech), Ahmed-Amine Benzerga(Texax AM), Mike Dugger (Sandia National Labs), Chung-Souk Han (North Dakota State), Gerhard Dehm (MU-Leoben), Michael Uchic (Air Force Research Labs), and Johann Michler (EMPA).
