Neither, argues Philip Gorski in American Covenant. What the founders envisioned was a prophetic republic that would weave together the ethical vision of the Hebrew prophets and the Western political heritage of civic republicanism. In this eye-opening book, Gorski shows why this civil religious tradition is now in peril-and with it the American experiment.American Covenant traces the history of prophetic republicanism from the Puritan era to today, providing insightful portraits of figures ranging from John Winthrop and W.E.B. Du Bois to Jerry Falwell, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. Featuring a new preface by the author, this incisive book demonstrates how half a century of culture war has drowned out the quieter voices of the vital center, and demonstrates that if we are to rebuild that center, we must recover the civil religious tradition on which the republic was founded. 606 $aCivil religion$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 610 $aAmerican civil religion. 610 $aAmerican exceptionalism. 610 $aAmericans. 610 $aApocalypticism. 610 $aAristocracy. 610 $aAtheism. 610 $aBarack Obama. 610 $aCalvinism. 610 $aCambridge University Press. 610 $aChristian ethics. 610 $aChristian nationalism. 610 $aChristian theology. 610 $aChristianity. 610 $aCivic nationalism. 610 $aCivic virtue. 610 $aCivil religion. 610 $aClassical liberalism. 610 $aClassical republicanism. 610 $aCommon good. 610 $aConstitutional patriotism. 610 $aCotton Mather. 610 $aCovenant theology. 610 $aCulture war. 610 $aDeism. 610 $aDemocracy. 610 $aDemonization. 610 $aDoctrine. 610 $aElection. 610 $aFreedom of religion. 610 $aFreedom of speech. 610 $aGod. 610 $aGood and evil. 610 $aGovernance. 610 $aGovernment. 610 $aH.

To represent a living system using mathematical principles, practical quantities with units are required. Quantities are not only the bridge between mathematical description and biological observations; they often stand as essential elements similar to genome information in genetics. This important realization has greatly rejuvenated research in the area of Quantitative Biology. Because of the increased need for precise quantification, a new era of technological development has opened. For example, spatio-temporal high-resolution imaging enables us to track single molecule behavior in vivo. Clever artificial control of experimental conditions and molecular structures has expanded the variety of quantities that can be directly measured. In addition, improved computational power and novel algorithms for analyzing theoretical models have made it possible to investigate complex biological phenomena. This research topic is organized on two aspects of technological advances which are the backbone of Quantitative Biology: (i) visualization of biomolecules, their dynamics and function, and (ii) generic technologies of model optimization and numeric integration. We have also included articles highlighting the need for new quantitative approaches to solve some of the long-standing cell biology questions. In the first section on visualizing biomolecules, four cutting-edge techniques are presented. Ichimura et al. provide a review of quantum dots including their basic characteristics and their applications (for example, single particle tracking). Horisawa discusses a quick and stable labeling technique using click chemistry with distinct advantages compared to fluorescent protein tags. The relatively small physical size, stability of covalent bond and simple metabolic labeling procedures in living cells provides this type of technology a potential to allow long-term imaging with least interference to protein function. Obien et al. review strategies to control microelectrodes for detecting neuronal activity and discuss techniques for higher resolution and quality of recordings using monolithic integration with on-chip circuitry. Finally, the original research article by Amariei et al. describes the oscillatory behavior of metabolites in bacteria. They describe a new method to visualize the periodic dynamics of metabolites in large scale cultures populations. These four articles contribute to the development of quantitative methods visualizing diverse targets: proteins, electrical signals and metabolites. In the second section of the topic, we have included articles on the development of computational tools to fully harness the potential of quantitative measurements through either calculation based on specific model or validation of the model itself. Kimura et al. introduce optimization procedures to search for parameters in a quantitative model that can reproduce experimental data. They present four examples: transcriptional regulation, bacterial chemotaxis, morphogenesis of tissues and organs, and cell cycle regulation. The original research article by Sumiyoshi et al. presents a general methodology to accelerate stochastic simulation efforts. They introduce a method to achieve 130 times faster computation of stochastic models by applying GPGPU. The strength of such accelerated numerical calculation are sometimes underestimated in biology; faster simulation enables multiple runs and in turn improved accuracy of numerical calculation which may change the final conclusion of modeling study. This also highlights the need to carefully assess simulation results and estimations using computational tools. 517 $aQuantitative Biology 606 $aNeurosciences$2bicssc 610 $acell division 610 $adata visualization 610 $afluorescence chemistry 610 $aGPGPU 610 $aimaging 610 $amodel optimization 610 $amolecular crowding 610 $anumerical integration 610 $aquantum dot 615 7$aNeurosciences 700 $aNoriko Hiroi$4auth$01296690 702 $aDouglas B.
