BREEDING TO IMPROVE PHYSICAL QUALITIES OF TIMBER

Integrating Physical Qualities

The ubiquitous embedding of digital technologies in everyday environments and activities increases the complexity, variety and occurrence of human interactions with digital media. Furthermore, the advances in display technologies bring digital information and interaction possibilities on the very artifacts of our physical and social environments, such as tables and walls. For input and navigati...

Breeding to Improve Symbiotic Effectiveness of Legumes

Using autonomous components to improve runtime qualities of software

In the development of software systems, quality properties should be considered along with the development process so that the qualities of software systems can be inferred and predicted at the specification and design stages and be evaluated and verified at the deployment and execution stages. However, distributed autonomous software entities are developed and maintained independently by third...

Breeding of tomorrow's chickens to improve well-being.

Chickens, as well as other animals, have the ability to change their behavior (behavioral plasticity) and physiology (physiological plasticity) based on the costs and benefits to fit their environment (adaptation). Through natural selection, the population preserves and accumulates traits that are beneficial and rejects those that are detrimental in their prevailing environments. The surviving ...

A NEW CEMENT ADDITIVE TO IMPROVE THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF OIL WELL CEMENT AND TO ENHANCE ZONAL ISOLATION

The main purpose of cementing of the well is to provide effective zonal isolation for the entire life of wells. The standard cements cannot prevent loss of zonal isolation when the stress level in the well cement is severely fluctuated. Since elastic cements improve elastic properties, recently, a number of studies have been done in this area. For this purpose, a nanoparticle, named EX-RIPI, wa...
