tissue engineering is based on three main factors including scaffolds, cells and growth factors. natural scaffolds derived from decellularized tissues and organs have been successfully used in tissue engineering. decellularization studies have shown that natural scaffolds which maintaine their main structure and properties could be a suitable tool for studying cellular behaviors and preparation...

Software Engineering (SE) and Knowledge Engineering (KE) are closely related disciplines with goals of turning the development process of software systems and knowledge-based systems, respectively, into engineering disciplines. In particular, they together can provide systematic approaches for engineering intelligent software systems more efficiently and cost-effectively. As there is a large ov...

This paper reports design experience and execution of the authors’ curriculum entitled “Chemical Entrepreneurship”, actually dealing with “technology entrepreneurship emphasizing chemistry-related enterprises”, and being multi-disciplinary. Uniqueness of the curriculum shows up in its scope and addressees concerning age and levels of experience. The attendees are scientists and engineers and ex...

Collaborative research projects as a means to organise Information Systems research and prototyping activities become increasingly widespread. Their management is challenged by a multiplicity of different partners, activities and results. Required is a project management approach that allows for flexibility within the project life-cycle to address changing needs. We present research in progress...

The Doctoral Program in Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering (DRIG) provides students with advanced education and the opportunity to do research activity in these scientific fields. The program allows students to build a solid methodological background, and it fosters the development of multi-disciplinary knowledge, an open minded approach to research activities, and the ability to ...

Designing hybrid proteins is a major aspect of protein engineering and covers a very wide range of applications from basic research to medical applications. This review focuses on the use of class A β-lactamases as versatile scaffolds to design hybrid enzymes (referred to as β-lactamase hybrid proteins, BHPs) in which an exogenous peptide, protein or fragment thereof is inserted at various perm...

The path from conceptualization of a good idea to its widespread use in industry is usually long, complicated, and fraught with peril. Too often, research justified as satisfying the needs of industry begins with a wrong or simplified understanding of industry’s problems. Even given a real solution to a real problem, successful transfer of that solution into practice depends on many other facto...

(New York:Wiley, 1999), I get many questions about systems engineering, namely, what this field includes and excludes. A quick answer is, " take a look at the handbook. " A bit more of an elaborate answer, especially if people are interested in what we are doing at Georgia Tech, can be cast in terms of the manufacturing, logistics, transportation, and health systems programs available at ISyE. ...
