Defining and delivering resilient ecological networks: Nature conservation in England

The Great Skills Debate: Defining and Delivering the Skills Required for Community Regeneration in England

It is now generally accepted by government, professional institutions and employers that there are severe shortages in the numbers of practitioners entering key built environment professions, and that there are deficiencies in the skills of those charged with creating Sustainable Communities and promoting community regeneration. A series of reports prepared largely by government appointees have...

A randomized energy-conservation protocol for resilient sensor networks

In this paper we present PEAS, a randomized energy-conservation protocol that seeks to build resilient sensor networks in the presence of frequent, unexpected node failures. PEAS extends the network lifetime by maintaining a necessary set of working nodes and turning off redundant ones, which wake up after randomized sleeping times and replace failed ones when needed. The fully localized operat...

Defining Ecological Strategies in Neuroprosthetics

Neurological disorders disrupt the equilibrium within the brain and spinal cord ecosystems. Ecology reuses, recycles, and reduces to help maintain the balance across ecosystems. Likewise, neuroprosthetics can help the brain help itself with ecoprosthetic designs that integrate the principles of the "three 'R's."
