Controlling Coupled Chemical Oscillators: Toward Synchronization Engineering and Chemical Computation

The collective behaviors of coupled oscillators are ubiquitous in biological systems, with examples including quorum sensing, cardiac muscle contractions, and networks of neurons. In an effort to better understand the generic properties of such oscillators, we investigated emulsions of diffusively coupled microdroplets containing the oscillatory Belousov—Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction with a photo-i...

Nutzerzentriertes Green Web Engineering

Green IT, Green by IT und Green Software thematisieren den Beitrag der IKT zur Ressourcen-und Energieeffizienz. Optimierungsmöglichkeiten zur Verringerung des Energieverbrauchs durch den Datentransfer von Multimediainhalten werden-trotz steigender Verbräuche durch das Internet-wenig bis gar nicht berücksichtigt. Hier setzt Green Web Engineering an. Im folgenden Beitrag werden Prinzipien nachhal...

Chemical Engineering Software and Legal Protection Thereof

In recent years, an increasing number of Chemical Engineering Software (CES), which play an important role in improving efficiency in the petroleum industry, has been introduced to the                market. Generally, software is the product of intellectual creativity, but protection of the intellectual property residing in software is the subject of some controversy.  This paper explores the ...

Thinking Green: Toward Swedish FrameNet++

Access to multi-layered lexical, grammatical and semantic information representing text content is a prerequisite for efficient automatic understanding and generation of natural language. A FrameNet is considered a valuable resource for both linguistics and language technology research that may contribute to the achievement of these goals. Currently, FrameNet-like resources exist for a few lang...
