Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology 2015
PROGRAM URL:

DATES: Saturday 05 Dec, 2015 - Saturday 19 Dec, 2015
VENUE : Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bangalore

DESCRIPTION:
The International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), are organizing a Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology from 8 to 19 December 2015 (QSB2015), as part of the ICTP- ICTS Programme in Biology. This is the fourth school in the series on Quantitative Systems Biology, held alternately at Trieste and Bangalore. QSB2015 will be hosted in the ICTS campus in Bangalore.
The School is targeted towards young researchers, particularly those at the PhD and post -doctoral level with backgrounds in the physical and mathematical sciences and engineering, who are working in biology or hope to do so. It will give participants a broad introduction to open problems in modern biology, and provide pedagogical instruction on new quantitative approaches being used to address those problems. The main school will be preceded by an intensive three-day pre-school (5-7 December, 2015) targeted to non-biologists.
QSB2015 is centered around bacteria, the simplest known forms of life. The focus is on the basics of cellular life and the principles thereof. The emphasis is on the structures and processes that allow bacteria to survive, reproduce, evolve and form communities in their environment. This is a setting that is fertile for quantitative work, both theoretical and experimental, and for grasping some universals in biology. Lecture courses on different topics are envisaged for the school by an array of distinguished lecturers. The courses will provide an intensive background to the specific topics before turning towards cutting edge research.

Subjects include
Bacterial cell physiology and growth
Metabolism, regulation and response to the environment
Structure and dynamics of biochemical networks
Bacterial ecology
Evolution
Energy, information and computation in cells

Modern Finance and Macroeconomics: A Multidisciplinary Approach (2016, ICTS)

PROGRAM URL : http://www.icts.res.in/program/memf2015
DATES: Tuesday 22 Dec, 2015 - Saturday 02 Jan, 2016
VENUE : ICTS campus, Bangalore

DESCRIPTION:
The financial meltdown of 2008 in the US stock markets and the subsequent protracted recession in the Western economies have accentuated the need to understand the dynamic interface between the modern financial sector and the overall macroeconomy. The dominant economic framework based on Neoclassical economics that informs policy making has turned out to be grossly inadequate for this purpose as it failed to either explain or predict the nature and cause of the sudden financial meltdown and the long economic recession that followed. The conceptual and methodological gaps and fault lines of the dominant framework have necessitated approaches that go beyond conventional analyses of individual or micro economic risk and the types failures caused by imperfect working of the price mechanism in financial markets. The challenge instead is to set the problem of modern finance in the macroeconomic context.
This School aims to introduce the participants to the alternative analytical frameworks to study the workings of the modern financial sector and its implications to the economy as a whole. The modules in the School are organized in such a way that they progressively build on foundations starting from a critical perspective of macroeconomic analysis to lead the participants gradually to broader analysis beyond that is provided in the standard economic theory. The lectures will then build on this alternative conceptual perspective and explore and articulate alternative methodological frameworks in which the local or micro aspect of individual risk are integrated with the global or macro aspect of finance and money in the economy.
The list of speakers includes renowned economists and mathematicians from India and abroad.

Crystal: Fast as C, Slick as Ruby (Brian J. Cardiff)


source: GoogleTechTalks     2017年2月2日
A Google TechTalk, 1/20/17, presented by Brian J. Cardiff
ABSTRACT: Crystal is a new programming language that focuses on developer productivity, type safety and execution performance. It is statically checked and compiles to native (machine) code. It combines a type inference algorithm, compile-time macros, compile-time type introspection, automatic union types and Ruby-like syntax, allowing quick prototyping and generating efficient computer programs. It provides a Garbage Collector, uses LLVM as its backend and doesn’t run on a Virtual Machine.
In this talk we will show some examples and patterns that arise from combining all these language features.
For more information about Crystal: http://crystal-lang.org
About the speaker: Brian J. Cardiff
Brian is part of the original three-person core team that started Crystal language. He has over 15 years of experience as a professional software developer, most of them at Manas, the company behind Crystal. He has an extensive knowledge on programming languages, which include being a teacher at University of Buenos Aires on Paradigms of Programming Languages for several years. His contributions to Crystal have helped shape its type system and type inference algorithm, one of the key features of the language. Brian also has a keen interest in visualizations and user interaction, which is reflected in the Crystal playground, the built-in interactive code editor that ships with the compiler.

Mastering any physical skill takes practice. Practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement, and it helps us perform with more ease, speed, and confidence. But what does practice actually do to make us better at things? Annie Bosler and Don Greene explain how practice affects the inner workings of our brains.
