Between July 18(th) and 24(th) 2010, 26 leading microbial ecology, computation, bioinformatics and statistics researchers came together in Snowbird, Utah (USA) to discuss the challenge of how to best characterize the microbial world using next-generation sequencing technologies. The meeting was entitled "Terabase Metagenomics" and was sponsored by the Institute for Computing in science (ICiS) summer 2010 workshop program. The aim of the workshop was to explore the fundamental questions relating to microbial ecology that could be addressed using advances in sequencing potential. Technological advances in next-generation sequencing platforms such as the Illumina HiSeq 2000 can generate in excess of 250 billion base pairs of genetic information in 8 days. Thus, the generation of a trillion base pairs of genetic information is becoming a routine matter. The main outcome from this meeting was the birth of a concept and practical approach to exploring microbial life on earth, the Earth Microbiome Project (EMP). Here we briefly describe the highlights of this meeting and provide an overview of the EMP concept and how it can be applied to exploration of the microbiome of each ecosystem on this planet.

We investigate the effect of a light emitting layer (EML) sequence and an interlayer on the performance of the phosphorescent-fluorescent mixed white organic light emitting diodes. Two types of phosphorescent-fluorescent mixed system were evaluated. The proper position of each primary color EML was crucial to obtain best performance in each system whereas the effect of an interlayer was found to be different in both systems.

Every healthy ear reflects a signal (OtoAcoustic Emission, OAE, signals) in response to a stimulus, so we can check the health condition of hearing based on the existence of this signal. If the hearing abnormality of neonates is diagnosed in the early month of their birth, with early treatment we can save them from losing their hearing. In this work we use a data set recorded from subjects with normal and abnormal hearing. First, basic features responsible for the existence of OAE are extracted from unlabeled data, and then KNN-FCM Algorithm is applied to the feature space to classify them in to two clusters. After that we illustrate that each labelled data belongs to which of the clusters based on their distance from cluster centers. Finally we label each cluster applying majority voting rule for those nearest neighbors that are labeled. The best result is 96.6% of accuracy that is achieved from executing the algorithm in 20 trials. Checking the health condition of hearing using OAE signals for experts usually is an error-prone diagnosis, thus to reach an accurate diagnosis, additional tests are commonly used. These tests maybe time-consuming and costly, reducing these disadvantages leads us to this research to automate diagnosis as a supporting tool to help the experts.

This paper presents a simple second-order controller that damps the resonance typical of piezoelectric nanopositioners and delivers good tracking performance. This method employs the Integral Resonant control scheme (IRC) for damping the dominant resonant mode of the piezoelectric nanopositioner and uses an integral controller to achieve tracking performance. As disturbance rejection is a main concern in nanopositioning applications, the control scheme is tested for its disturbance rejection performance. It is seen that the control scheme has good disturbance rejection characteristics deeming it suitable for nanopositioning applications. To test the tracking performance, the system is made to track a 20 Hz triangular input at various integral gains. It is shown that improved tracking performance can be achieved at high gains with only a slight degradation in disturbance rejection performance at high frequencies.

A novel dual power flow wind power generation system based on electrical variable transmission (EVT) is proposed which combines the advantages of direct-driven and non-direct-driven systems. In this paper, the principles of the dual power flow wind power generation system are presented. The dynamic model and operation modes of the double layer permanent magnet outer rotor based EVT are introduced. Furthermore, the operation processes and control strategies of the novel system are simulated and analyzed. An EVT prototype machine is designed and verified by finite element analysis (FEA).
