Exploiting complexity to implement function in chemical systems

Complexity in Chemical Systems

The mechanistic origins of complex responses in chemical systems are traced to the role of chemical or thermal feedback arising from autocatalysis or self-heating. These simple building blocks, which occur widely in chemistry and biochemistry, support behavior ranging from simple clock reactions to sustained oscillations, chaos and spatial pattern formation. Examples discussed include the Belou...

Exploiting redundancy to implement multi-objective behavior

Teams of robots can be redundant with respect to a given task. This redundancy can be exploited to pursue additional objectives during the execution of the task. In this paper, we describe a control-based method to exploit such redundancy for the execution of additional behavior, leading to the improvement of overall performance. The control-based method provides a suitable mechanism for combin...

Achieving social integration to implement ERP systems

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...

How to Implement P.B.L. in Traditional Medical Education

 SUMMARY Problem based learning as an innovation in education specially medical domain has been used since few decades and its positive effect in improving learning outcome bas been proved in several investigations. There are some obstacles that prevent shifting from traditional medical education, toward P.B.L. in medical school, so there has been several efforts managed by educationists searc...
