Das Big Data Game

This article looks at how games and play contribute to the big data-driven production of knowledge in High-Energy Physics, with a particular focus on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where the author has been conducting anthropological fieldwork since 2014. The ludic (playful) aspect of knowledge production is analyzed here in three different dimensions: the Symbolic, the Ontological, and the Epistemic. The first one points towards CERN as place where a cosmological game of probability is played with the help of Monte-Carlo simulations. The second one can be seen in the agonistic infrastructures of competing experimental collaborations. The third dimension unfolds in ludic platforms, such as online Challenges and citizen science games, which contribute to the development of machine learning algorithms, whose function is necessary in order to process the huge amount of data gathered from experimental events. Following Clifford Geertz, CERN itself is characterized as a site of deep play, a concept that contributes to understanding wider social and cultural orders through the analysis of ludic collective phenomena. The article also engages with Peter Galison’s idea of the trading zone, proposing to comprehend it in the age of big data as a Playground. Thus the author hopes to contribute to a wider discussion in the historiographical and social study of science and technology, as well as in cultural anthropology, by recognizing the ludic in science as a central element of understanding collaborative knowledge production.

Big Data for Precision Medicine

This article focuses on the potential impact of big data analysis to improve health, prevent and detect disease at an earlier stage, and personalize interventions. The role that big data analytics may have in interrogating the patient electronic health record toward improved clinical decision support is discussed. Weexamine developments in pharmacogenetics that have increased our appreciation of the reasons why patients respond differently to chemotherapy. We also assess the expansion of online health communications and the way in which this data may be capitalized on in order to detect public health threats and control or contain epidemics. Finally, we describe how a new generation of wearable and implantable body sensors may improve wellbeing, streamline management of chronic diseases, and improve the quality of surgical implants.     

大数据：开启面向未来的标准化事业

在当今的信息时代,云技术、物联网和基于二者的大数据技术正推动经济社会发生着变革。未来经济在互联网等技术的作用下变得越来越个性化,对大数据技术的应用将有利于标准化事业对经济社会发展做出更大贡献,标准化的服务内容由经济主体自由选择,标准化机构和研究人员更多地关注经济主体的个性化培养,标准化机构由被动服务逐渐转变为主动服务。在逐步到来的大数据时代,网络标准化服务与实体标准化服务将逐渐分离,更多的交往互动、个性化服务和灵活的服务方式将使标准化事业获得新的生机。

Seeing Big with Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

Specialized microelectrode probes fabricated in a soft polymer film now make it possible to use scanning electrochemical microscopy to image the reactivity of large, corrugated, tilted, and dry surfaces.

Graph theory and networks in Biology

A survey of the use of graph theoretical techniques in Biology is presented. In particular, recent work on identifying and modelling the structure of bio-molecular networks is discussed, as well as the application of centrality measures to interaction networks and research on the hierarchical structure of such networks and network motifs. Work on the link between structural network properties and dynamics is also described, with emphasis on synchronisation and disease propagation.
