| Researching Facebook business: The business of 'unfriending' Posted: 20 Feb 2014 06:49 AM PST Establishing and maintaining relationships online is becoming ever more important in the expanding global knowledge economy. But what happens to the relationship between business and consumer when a user 'unfriends'?

| New technique for repair work using experts from another location Posted: 20 Feb 2014 06:48 AM PST If problems occur at a company's complex plant, the local staff is often not able to solve them without external support. Frequently, experts must travel to the plant; this can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Computer scientists have now developed a platform to enable communication between specialists and the company. Thus, the experts can instruct the staff in what has caused the problem and how it can be fixed. At the same time, specialists can supervise the repair work and are able to intervene in case of emergency via live broadcasting.  |
| Whole genome analysis speeds up: 240 full genomes in 50 hours Posted: 19 Feb 2014 02:31 PM PST Although the time and cost of sequencing the human genome has plummeted, analyzing the 3 billion base pairs of genetic information can take months. Researchers working with Beagle -- one of the world's fastest supercomputers devoted to life sciences -- report they can analyze 240 full genomes in 50 hours.  |
