Development of Bio-inspired Monomer, Dopamine Acrylamide

Nervous system degeneration produced by acrylamide monomer.

Acrylamide, widely employed as a vinyl monomer in the polymer industry, is a potent neurotoxin to man and to animals. The cumulative effect of prolonged, low-level exposure to acrylamide monomer is the insidious development of a progressive peripheral neuropathy. Sensory symptoms begin in the hands and feet (numbness, pins and needles), certain reflexes are lost and, with severe exposure, muscl...

Bio-inspired Grammatical Inference

The field of Grammatical Inference was originally motivated by the problem of natural language acquisition. However, the formal models proposed within this field have left aside this linguistic motivation. In this paper, we propose to improve models and techniques used in Grammatical Inference by using ideas coming from linguistic studies. In that way, we try to give a new bio-inspiration to th...

Bio-inspired Self-organization Methods and Models for Software Development

The current research trends in Software Engineering are focusing on the development of new techniques to deal intelligently and efficiently with the design of systems that are able to evolve overtime and adapt to rapid changes of their requirements. In particular, the field of Autonomic Computing has been created to study these types of systems with the ultimate aim to create systems that are a...
