Bridging Biology and Engineering Together with Spatial Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
Biological systems can often be viewed as spatial computers: space-filling collections of computational devices with strongly localized communication. Applying a continuous-space abstraction allows the behavior of such systems to be modeled or specified in terms of aggregate geometry and information flow. This can simplify both the engineering of biological systems and the application of biological models to the engineering of non-biological systems, as illustrated by examples from synthetic biology and morphogenetic engineering.

Parallel Spatial Pyramid Match Kernel Algorithm for Object Recognition using a Cluster of Computers
This paper parallelizes the spatial pyramid match kernel (SPK) implementation. SPK is one of the most usable kernel methods, along with support vector machine classifier, with high accuracy in object recognition. MATLAB parallel computing toolbox has been used to parallelize SPK. In this implementation, MATLAB Message Passing Interface (MPI) functions and features included in the toolbox help u...

The paper describes interdisciplinary research that has produced systems and devices to support the work of architecture, engineering and construction. Spatial computing facilitates the production of abstract and literal spaces for collaboration and teamwork, modelling and experimentation with 3D sites and terrains, bridging between digital and physical materials, mobility, and ambience, with t...
متن کاملBridging Paradigm Gaps Between Biology and Engineering
Computing and Communications are well understood topics in engineering. However, we are very much at the beginning of the road to understanding those mechanisms in biological systems. I'll argue that progress in Biology will require better understanding of biologically inspired paradigms for computing and communications. In particular, I'll discuss some initial results related to asynchronous c...

However, some format adaptation and pre-processing are necessary before ...
متن کاملComparison of therapeutic results of large saphenous vein resection with conventional methods and standard bridging
Background: The use of the traditional method for saphenous vein harvesting is associated with wound complications and not on-time patient mobilization. This has caused the improvement of minimally invasive vein harvesting techniques, together with general bridging. This study was designed to compare the therapeutic results of...
