Siebert As Algonquianist

Karl V. (van Duyn) Teeter learned Japanese as a U.S. Army draftee during the Korean War. Upon his discharge from the military in 1954 he went to Berkeley, majoring in Oriental Languages. He entered Berkeley ’s linguistics program and did fieldwork with the last speaker of Wiyot, a language indigenous to northern California that has since been demonstrated to be genetically related to all the Algonquian languages. After coming to Harvard in 1959 he studied Maliseet-Passamaquoddy and, for several years, chaired Harvard’s linguistics department. He is now Professor of Linguistics, Emeritus at Harvard. What follows is his assessment of Frank Siebert as an Algonquianist

Dynamical and Structural Modularity of Discrete Regulatory Networks

A biological regulatory network can be modeled as a discrete function that contains all available information on network component interactions. From this function we can derive a graph representation of the network structure as well as of the dynamics of the system. In this paper we introduce a method to identify modules of the network that allow us to construct the behavior of the given function from the dynamics of the modules. Here, it proves useful to distinguish between dynamical and structural modules, and to define network modules combining aspects of both. As a key concept we establish the notion of symbolic steady state, which basically represents a set of states where the behavior of the given function is in some sense predictable, and which gives rise to suitable network modules. We apply the method to a regulatory network involved in T helper cell differentiation

The "champagne tower" of science publishing

This article discusses the hierarchical nature of science publishing, whereby journals are organized in tiers with the most prestigious elite journals at the top (Cell, Nature, Science), and lowest-ranked journals at the bottom. When rejected from the top-tier journals, authors usually aim for a lower tier of journals, with some choosing smaller, specialist journals for the outlet of their work. Recently, however, a different mechanism of cascading the papers down the hierarchy of journals has become popular, i.e., editors arrange to pass the rejected papers, with the authors’ permission, to their “sister journals” bearing the same brand. These transfer arrangements may be seen beneficial for the authors, as they reduce the publication time, but they also pose difficulties for smaller specialist journals that lose their share of the market and experience a fall in manuscript submissions
