Can you feel the smoke tonight?

Acknowledgements

We could not have achieved our SmoColi all by ourselves, and after our long journey we have many people to thank! First of all, this project would not have been possible without the support of our supervisors Sven Panke and Joerg Stelling and the support of our sponsors. We would also like to extend lots of thanks to the following people, companies and organizations without whom our project would not have been possible:

Contributions

[http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bel/people/olifrey Dr. Olivier Frey] of the [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bel/ Bio Engineering Laboratory] at [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch D-BSSE], ETH Zurich, for providing microfluidic and larger tubes
[http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/people/marimuel Marius Müller] at [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch D-BSSE], ETH Zurich, for providing us the AlcR protein

Biology

[http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/people/marimuel Marius Müller] at [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch D-BSSE], ETH Zurich, for helpful suggestions for experimental design, especially acetaldehyde handling
[http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bpl/people/sonjabi Sonja Billerbeck], [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bpl/people/bosandre Andreas Bosshart], [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bpl/people/anmeyer Andreas Meyer] and the whole [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bpl BPL research] group of Professor Sven Panke at [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch D-BSSE], ETH Zurich for their inputs and suggestions about biological research techniques and error solving.

Process Design

[http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bel/people/olifrey Dr. Olivier Frey] of the [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bel/ Bio Engineering Laboratory] at [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch D-BSSE], ETH Zurich, for enlightening discussions about microfluidics
[http://research.microsoft.com Microsoft Research] for the [http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ICE/ Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor] which enabled us to reassemble nicer pictures of gradients that do not fit into a single microscope frame / photo.

Modeling

[http://www.csb.ethz.ch/people/sotirisd Sotiris Dimopoulos] of the [http://www.csb.ethz.ch/ Computational Systems Biology Group], ETH Zurich, for helping with sensitivity analysis and providing analysis tools.
[http://www.ifm.ethz.ch/e/abo/peo/index.htm#Ruest Philipp Rüst] of the [http://www.ifm.ethz.ch Center of Mechanics], ETH Zurich, for giving the modelers a short crash course in COMSOL Multiphysics.
The [http://www.bsse.ethz.ch Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich] for providing us access to COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB.
[http://www.mathworks.com The Mathworks] for [http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab MATLAB].
The [http://www.comsol.com COMSOL Group] for [http://www.comsol.com/products/multiphysics COMSOL Multiphysics].

Wiki

Our wiki design is inspired by Imperial College's 2010 template
Thanks to the [http://jquery.org jQuery Project] for their amazing [http://jquery.com jQuery] and [http://jqueryui.com jQuery UI] libraries, and to [http://google.com Google] for publically hosting [http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#jquery both of them].
Jonathan Neal for the [http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject/ jQuery SWFObject] extension for jQuery, which enabled us to include Adobe Flash content within the wiki.
