Nucleic acid storage and stability is of primary importance as it finds uses in material science as nanomachines, biosensors and bioelectronics. The long-term stability and storage of DNA is a major challenge as hydrolytic reactions cause its denaturation when stored in an aqueous environment with conventional buffer solutions. Most of the devices employing nucleic acids require the nucleic acid molecule (generally DNA) to be adsorbed on the ...
Thanks to the increasing capabilities of digital technologies, the next generation of industrial control systems are expected to learn from streams of data and to take optimal decisions in real-time, leading to increased performance, safety, energy efficiency, and ultimately value creation.
Numerical optimization is at the very core of both learning and decision-making, and machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence raise ...
Multi-materials, combining various materials with different functionalities, are increasingly desired in engineering applications. Reliable material assembly is a great challenge in the development of innovative technologies. The interdiffusion microstructures formed at material interfaces are critical for the performance of the product. However, as more and more elements are involved, their complexity increases and their variety becomes ...
The purpose of Project VALCRI is to create a Visual Analytics-based sense-making capability for criminal intelligence analysis by developing and integrating a number of technologies into a coherent working environment for the analyst we call the Reasoning Workspace. Conceptually, the Reasoning Workspace comprises three areas:
The first detection of an exoplanet marked a new epoch in our hopes to detect extraterrestrial life. These detections have opened new parameter spaces and demonstrate that physical and chemical conditions exists in (A) planet forming disks that are vastly different from what we know in the solar system and in (B) (exo)planets that are vastly different from those that characterized planet Earth when life originated in an anoxic soup, and yet ...
The welfare of animals kept for human consumption is of high concern globally, also within the European Commission including the welfare of the domesticated pig . As animal well-being is not just the absence of negative affective states, but also, and probably predominantly, the presence of positive affective states, identifying indicators of positive affective states in farmed animals can increase our capacity to improve their health and ...
INTUITIVE will train a generation of early stage researcher (ESR) in ground breaking scientific and technological
approaches in haptics. They will develop novel soft biomorphic tactile skin based on flexible electronics, miniaturized soft
sensors, and a powerful new understanding of tactile information processing in humans - intrinsically shaped through the
interaction with the environment, and aimed to advance robotics and ...
