    MTSRF Milestone Report Project 1.1.2 – December 2008 Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) December 2008 Milestone Report Project 1.1.2– Status and Trends of Species and Ecosystems in the Great Barrier Reef. Project Leader: Jos Hill, Reef Check Australia. Summary This report summarises the dive operator interpretation materials developed. For reference: Milestone extracted from Project Schedule The milestone task is to report on finalised operator interpretation materials (with appropriate attribution of MTSRF funding)Project Results Description of the results achieved for this milestone This section should include a short statement assessing whether the project is ‘on track’ or not. If not on track then the details of the issues for the project can be elaborated in the section below on ‘Forecast Variations to Milestones’. This project is currently on track. Activities include Finalisation of interpretation materials for the dive operators that are contained within an Operator Information Pack which is a folder on board the supporting dive boats that contains information about Reef Check, sites monitored and a back catalogue of newsletters: Information brochure: this brochure was funded by Envirofund (pdf attached). Brochures will be available for tourists to take home from their dive trip. Information booklet: the information booklet was in part funded by MTSRF (RRRC) and GBRMPA (see link: http://andrewharvey.xsmail.com/Reef%20Check%20flip%20chart.pdf Content for the information booklet has been finalised. It is currently being reviewed and will have typos fixed mid December in time for printing and distribution during 2009. Volunteers will also update the Operator Information Packs with copies of the latest Reef Check Australia newsletters as requested by dive operator managers in the 2008 feedback survey.

DNA It is now more than a decade since the Human medicine Genome Project concluded.

These are known as ‘bases’ and are read by the cell in groups of three. Each triplet encodes a specific amino acid, of which there are twenty different types, which the cell then joins together to form a protein. The function of a protein, encoded by a specific stretch of DNA called a gene, is entirely dependent on the sequence of its amino acids.

  • Hardware Implementation of Artificial Epigenetic Networks
    HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTIFICIAL EPIGENETIC NETWORKS Andrew J. Walter MEng (Hons) PhD The University Of York Electronic Engineering September 2019 Abstract An extension of Artificial Gene Regulatory Networks (AGRNs), Artificial Epigenetic Networks (AENs) implement an additional layer of bio-inspired control to allow for enhanced performance on certain types of control tasks by facilitating topological self- modification. This work looks to expand the applications of AENs by translating the existent software architecture into a form suitable for implementation on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This opens the possibility of AENs being used in applications where high-performance computational resources are impractical, such as robotic control. This thesis develops a more resource efficient architecture for epigenetic networks based on reduced precision integer mathematics, and then translates it into hardware to provide improvements in resource utilisation and execution speed while not sacrificing the unique benefits provided by the epigenetic mechanisms. The application to robotic control is investigated by utilising the hardware AEN to perform various versions of a foraging task, culminating in one designed to replicate a search and rescue scenario. While the AENs did not demonstrate significant performance improvements compared to their non-epigenetic counterparts, this did indicate that not every type of control task benefits from the inclusion of the epigenetic mechanism. In addition, this work investigates another aspect of AENs, specifically the limits of their topological self-modification with respect to reacting to changes in their environment. More specifically, it is asked if an AEN can maintain its ability to perform a specific task when confronted with factors outside of those it has been optimised to handle.

Klar, 1998 ii Abstract Epigenetic regulation (ER) is key for understanding cell fate decisions and transi- tions. The inherent heterogeneity existing in ER systems exhibiting the differentiated cell epi-phenotype allows to identify ER systems which can give rise to either a plastic behaviour, where cell reprogramming is possible, or to a resilient one, where repro- gramming is not feasible. The appearance of the plastic scenario has been linked with ageing. By extending the ER model, ageing associated effects can be taken into account.

It is my hope that this nature study will encourage you to marvel at our Australian ocean and coastal regions and breathe wonder into your investigations as you explore, discover and engage with ocean life. The Math in Nature: Measurement guide is a companion guide to this study. However, both guides can be used independently of each other. MIN: Measurement focuses on learning measurement with ocean themed hands on activities. Jo has done an awesome job compiling the activities and sharing her children’s work with us. I know you’ll love it. I share my life with a loving husband, five children, an awesome son-in-law and two (very) lively granddaughters. They keep my life rotating on a merry-go-round.
