Taxonomic editors plan a World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS)

An authoritative register of all marine species is urgently required to facilitate biological data exchange and management, integration of biological with other ocean data, and to allow taxonomists to focus on describing new species instead of overlooking recently described species and correcting past nomenclatural confusion (Costello et al., 2006). Its production has added benefits in fostering collaboration between experts at a global scale. Easy access to encourages submissions of overlooked species to the list. In turn, this stimulates biogeographic and evolutionary research

A New Computing Laboratory to Evaluate and Test Hardware, Software and Systems: Intellectual Property Based Organizational Setting No. 1

The proliferation of minicomputers and the seductive nature of belief in hardware solutions to a complex problem, has led the authors to suggest the creating of a new computing laboratory (NCL). The laboratory would permit clients to seek help in the system design aspects of their problem and to test the proposed hardware/software/systems solution on a NCL workbench. The importance of a entrepreneurial management style for the enterprise is stressed

Topological Defects in Twisted Bundles of Two-Dimensionally Ordered Filaments

Twisted assemblies of filaments in ropes, cables and bundles are essential structural elements in wide use in macroscopic materials as well as within the cells and tissues of living organisms. We develop the unique, non-linear elastic properties of twisted filament bundles that derive from generic properties of two-dimensional line-ordered materials. Continuum elasticity reveals a formal equivalence between the elastic stresses induced by bundle twist and those induced by the positive curvature in thin, elastic sheets. These geometrically-induced stresses can be screened by 5-fold disclination defects in lattice packing, and we predict a discrete spectrum elastic energy groundstates associated with integer numbers of disclinations in cylindrical bundles. Finally, we show that elastic-energy groundstates are extremely sensitive to defect position in the cross-section, with off-center disclinations driving the entire bundle to buckle, adopting globally writhing configurations.Comment: 4.1 pages; 3 figure
