Modeling Decentralized Information Flow in Ambient Environments
This paper proposes a decentralized approach for modeling information flow in ambient environments. We study how query and notification mechanisms can be used to reduce the amount of information exchanged between agents. We will propose qualitative criteria which state whether querying a concept is appropriate given the logical structure of an agent’s knowledge base. Furthermore, we will propos...
متن کاملOptimum Facility Design Considering Flow Obstruction
In this study, we have classified different types of problems which are related to facility planning and layout design for different types of manufacturing processes. The main problems which are related to location of facilities which also affects the system performance such as distribution of man, material and machine in a plant or a factory and their optimization technique while using of math...
متن کاملUnder the sea: Pulsing corals in ambient flow
While many organisms filter feed and exchange heat or nutrients in flow, few benthic organisms also actively pulse to enhance feeding and exchange. One example is the pulsing soft coral (Heteroxenia fuscescens). Pulsing corals live in colonies, where each polyp actively pulses through contraction and relaxation of their tentacles. The pulses are typically out of phase and without a clear patter...
متن کاملAmbient wind energy harvesting using cross-flow fluttering
In this experimental study, we propose and test a bioinspired piezo-leaf architecture which converts wind energy into electrical energy by wind-induced fluttering motion. While conventional fluttering devices are arranged in parallel with the flow direction, here we explore a dangling cross-flow stalk arrangement. This architecture amplifies the vibration by an order of magnitude, making it app...
متن کاملEmpirically optimized flow cytometric immunoassay validates ambient analyte theory.
Ekins' ambient analyte theory predicts, counterintuitively, that an immunoassay's limit of detection can be improved by reducing the amount of capture antibody. In addition, it also anticipates that results should be insensitive to the volume of sample as well as the amount of capture antibody added. The objective of this study was to empirically validate all of the performance characteristics ...
