Recently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has requested grant applications for pilot studies to determine the potential role of whole genome sequencing during newborn screening, when virtually every baby born in the United States has a small blood sample taken by a heel stick. Having a complete genomic profile from birth would obviate the need for any future blood or DNA sampling in order to obtain genetic testing information; one would only access the data from a patient's electronic health record, personal health vault, or their smart phone.

El crecimiento de la producción científica en las últimas décadas, así como su recopilación en bases de datos bibliográficas automatizadas, han potenciado el uso de la bibliometría y la generación de indicadores para medir los resultados de la actividad científica y tecnológica. De ahí que el reconocimiento de la utilidad de la bibliometría para el estudio de la actividad investigadora y tecnológica haya experimentado un gran desarrollo.

Las disciplinas clínicas de apoyo diagnóstico y terapéutico han evolucionado en forma importante en las últimas dos a tres décadas, contribuyendo significativamente al desarrollo de la medicina. Cada vez aparecen nuevos exámenes que presentan una mayor precisión diagnóstica, mejor sensibilidad clínica y analítica, y con sistemas de medición cada vez más rápidos, que mejoran el tiempo de respuesta y la oportunidad.

Launched in 2011 to recognize the prolific contribution that PhD dissertations make to the field of Innovation Management, the ISPIM Dissertation Award selects three winners from the possible 100+ entries every year. Aided in the selection process by the generous support of Innovation Leaders, the ISPIM presents the awards at their annual Innovation Conference. With only three finalists being selected each year, many excellent submissions do not receive the recognition they deserve.

Blockchain-based protocols like Bitcoin and Ethereum have made sending digital values in the form of tokens as cheap and easy as sending an email. But while cryptographic tokens (sometimes called "cryptocurrencies") may be as important to the next-generation internet as the World Wide Web was to Web 1.0, people aren’t yet sure how to best design tokens or even what to do with them.

The book provides a critical and integrative analysis of value as it pertains to different aspects of creative and cultural industries. The notion of 'value' – a frequently used but rarely considered term – is deconstructed and considered as a spatial and structural impact, an active resource and process, and as soft institutions and embodied forms which collectively create a space through which value is constructed and negotiated. This book consists of three main sections: normative valuation, value and transformation from interactions and process, and embodied value.

A lo largo del libro Diseño urbano bioclimático, resultado de una iniciativa de investigación de varios años al interior de la Escuela de Arquitectura y de la Escuela de Ingeniería de los Recursos Naturales y del Ambiente, se describe el proceso de formulación y verificación de un modelo experimental de diseño urbano basado en la integración de herramientas digitales para la recolección, sistematización, evaluación y edición de información asociada con el proyecto.

La historia de la arquitectura moderna mexicana ha sido narrada por distintos autores desde ortodoxias universales que tratan de hilvanar un discurso continuo, con capítulos atentos a la cronología, las escuelas, las tendencias, los maestros y los ismos. Si alguna de ellas ha sido abordada por un solo autor, otras han sido editadas con la participación de notables especialistas en cada tema tratado.
