Malawi, like other countries with a generalized HIV epidemic, is striving to reach the ambitious targets set by UNAIDS known as the three 90's for testing, provision of antiretroviral therapy and viral suppression. Assisted by Malawi's progressive policies on HIV/AIDS, it appears possible that Malawi will attain these targets, but only by employing innovative program approaches to service deliv...

Extending neuromorphic engineering beyond electronics

One of the advantages of the neuromorphic approach is energy efficiency, which comes from the exploitation of the intrinsic physics of electronic devices. Taking the intrinsic efficiency of physics as a guiding principle, we can extend it beyond electronics to other technologies including optical, mechanical, and chemical. In this paper we consider the role that some of these other technologies...
