In the current virus outbreak, we all are experiencing for the first-time restrictions like those in war times and suddenly life is feeling like a bad B movie. The impact is not only in our private lives, but also in our economy and fundamental social interactions. Now, regarding the current facts, and making a comparison with the SARS outbreak of 2002, there is a constant question: why in that time there has been no global pandemic, and why we are now seeing a rapid propagation of a virus? Similarly, why we are experiencing a global deterioration of social norms and democracies? Perhaps there is a... (read 747 more words →)
Thanks for the feed back. I implemented small changes in the text in response to these comments
Artificial intelligence algorithms, and in particular deep learning, are becoming increasingly relevant to biology research. With these algorithms it is possible to analyze large amounts of data that are impossible to analyze with other techniques, helping to detect characteristics that might otherwise be impossible to recognize. This automatic feature detection allows you to classify cellular images, make genomic connections, advance drug discovery, and even find links between different types of data, from genomics and images to electronic medical records.[1]
However, as S. Webb pointed in a technology feature published in Nature, like any computational-biology technique, the results that arise from artificial intelligence are only as good as the... (read 1731 more words →)
The core of my point concerns more the mathematics of these networks.
I do not think that the problem are the supply chains itself, but
its size and its topology, as well as velocity of exchange. Mine is a
conjecture, and perhaps I am wrong. But the history shows how over
extended networks, like the silk road, infections like the black dead
easily spread. These networks not only facilitate the transport of
epidemics, but open ecosystems where trapped diseases can be easily
transported.
