Replying to F.-J. Müller & A. Schuppert Nature 478, 10.1038/nature10543 (2011) Müller and Schuppert1 describe an exception to our finding2 that roughly 80% of the nodes must be controlled to gain full control over gene regulatory networks. Yet our result hides subtleties that reveal as much about controllability as about the limits of our current understanding of biological networks.

Soil moisture retrieval is one of the most challenging problems in the context of biophysical parameter estimation from remotely sensed data. Typically, microwave signals are used thanks to their sensitivity to variations in the water content of soil. However, especially in the Alps, the presence of vegetation and the heterogeneity of topography may significantly affect the microwave signal, thus increasing the complexity of the retrieval. In this paper, the effectiveness of RADARSAT2 SAR images for the estimation of soil moisture in an alpine catchment is investigated. We first carry out a sensitivity analysis of the SAR signal to the moisture content of soil and other target properties (e.g., topography and vegetation). Then we propose a technique for estimating soil moisture based on the Support Vector Regression algorithm and the integration of ancillary data. Preliminary results are discussed both in terms of accuracy over point measurements and effectiveness in handling spatially distributed data.

Tactical communication systems are typically operated in disruptive networking environments. Such intermittent networking conditions present technical challenges in reliably delivering meaningful information to the appropriate destinations. This study proposes a reliable data aggregation and dissemination framework in the context of tactical networks. The framework takes a hybrid approach of combining disruption tolerant networking advantages and an adaptive sensor data aggregation method to ensure reliable data delivery. An experimental prototype system architecture was developed and implemented to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed data aggregation and dissemination framework. A relevant demonstration scenario based on an example data aggregation map was developed for performing system evaluation. Test results demonstrated that the proposed framework accurately inferred meaningful messages from raw sensor data and reliably delivered messages to the appropriate destinations. The proposed framework can be a promising solution beneficial to current and future system-level design of tactical network architectures.

Although there are several corpora with protein annotation, incompatibility between the annotations in different corpora remains a problem that hinders the progress of automatic recognition of protein names in biomedical literature. Here, we report on our efforts to find a solution to the incompatibility issue, and to improve the compatibility between two representative protein-annotated corpora: the GENIA corpus and the GENETAG corpus. In a comparative study, we improve our insight into the two corpora, and a series of experimental results show that most of the incompatibility can be removed.
