Modular Metal‐Quinone Networks with Tunable Architecture and Functionality

Control to range for diabetes: functionality and modular architecture.

BACKGROUND Closed-loop control of type 1 diabetes is receiving increasing attention due to advancement in glucose sensor and insulin pump technology. Here the function and structure of a class of control algorithms designed to exert control to range, defined as insulin treatment optimizing glycemia within a predefined target range by preventing extreme glucose fluctuations, are studied. METHO...

Modular Architecture in Biological Networks

The proteomes of neurotransmitter receptor complexes form modular networks with distributed functionality underlying plasticity and behaviour

Neuronal synapses play fundamental roles in information processing, behaviour and disease. Neurotransmitter receptor complexes, such as the mammalian N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex (NRC/MASC) comprising 186 proteins, are major components of the synapse proteome. Here we investigate the organisation and function of NRC/MASC using a systems biology approach. Systematic annotation showed th...

Motion and Modular Architecture

This paper presents an implementation of an architectural module that corresponds to a long serial chain modular robot. As such, this configuration poses possibilities that can move using travelling wave gaits based on snakes and caterpillars. The gaits are controlled with a Gait Control Table which is a simple but powerful way to coordinate the motion of a multiple degree-of-freedom systems. T...

Modular Architecture

The benefits of modularity are a low redesign effort and the possibility of interchanging between different layers depending on the requirements of the application. This makes the node very versatile and adaptable. Modularity reduces redesign, as each module is not started from scratch, and cost when the work environment changes. The concept is to have different implementations of each layer to...
