Design collaboration, capability

Figure 8 High throughput organic synthesizer developed in collaboration with Cyberlab, Inc. [25] and designed to process the 96-deepwell reaction blocks. The instrument is capable of tolerating a wide range of chemistry (liquid contacts are glass, stainless steel, or Teflon) and accomplishes the transfer of reagents with coaxial tip (N2 inlets) single-needle and four-needle probes.

It is very rare that you need to see the individual. However, you do need pointing capabilities, highlighting capabilities, and annotation capabilities. The notion of collaboration around work versus collaboration between individuals strikes me as one of the ways that we will see different tool sets evolve to support those kinds of interactions. Thus, while I accept your premise, I really believe that enterprises are going to focus on things like instrumenting experiments and design representations, as opposed to substituting for this kind of face-to-face interaction. 

For the off-site analysis, the designated laboratories are used. These laboratories have instrumental capability, preparedness, and analytical methods to analyze the samples taken by the inspectors or by the inspected SP representatives. The samples sent (after the agreement of the inspected SP) to the off-site laboratory are coded, and therefore the laboratory receiving the samples will not know their origin. The laboratories are capable of confirming the presence or absence of CWC-related chemicals and other chemicals, but must report only data relevant to the purpose of the analysis as defined by the OPCW. The laboratory s work on the OPCW samples is confidential, which is a normal practice when regarding the work with laboratory s other collaborators and commercial business partners. The work is reported only to the OPCW. 

III, A According to Ohnishi and collaborators (430, 431), succinate dehydrogenase preparations which are capable of electron transfer to the respiratory chain contain 3 iron-sulfur centers, designated centers... 

An attempt to catalog all of the pulse radiolysis laboratories in the United States and abroad and their experimental capabilities is doomed to be incomplete from the start and soon rendered out of date. Moreover, access to the instrumentation depends on the programmatic aim of each institution. Many facilities welcome collaborative work, whereas some are oriented toward a specific program. The introductory chapters of this book may serve as a basis for discussion of experimental design, while the later chapters provide examples of particular applications. 

A trade of incomplete knowledge against interest can be very fruitful rational, interest-seeking behavior on the part of autonomous agents can result in successful overall performance even in cases when the agents have limited capabilities (knowledge and/or resources). At the same time, collaboration rests upon interaction, which is still the key to creative design.
