Affordable and sustainable patient access to personalised medicine

PM has the potential to optimize the delivery and dosing of treatments so patients can receive the most benefit at the least amount of risk and harm, eliminating both the unnecessary side effects of toxic treatments such as chemotherapy and the delays associated with the “trial-and-error” process that many patients endure to obtain the correct diagnosis and treatment for their condition.

In these rural areas, the challenges of healthcare quality are many, ranging from poor infrastructure, low literacy, poverty, to inadequate monitoring of patients wit...

Engineering-Based Methods for Affordable Housing and Sustainable Community Development

Names Trump Malice: Tiny Mobile Agents Can Tolerate Byzantine Failures

We introduce a new theoretical model of ad hoc mobile computing in which agents have severely restricted memory, highly unpredictable movement and no initial knowledge of the system. Each agent’s memory can store O(1) bits, plus a unique identifier, and O(1) other agents’ identifiers. Inputs are distributed across n agents, and all agents must converge to the correct output value. We give a uni...
