This paper introduces the rationale for concrete situations in the authoring process that can exploit a theory-aware Authoring Environment. It illustrates how Ontological Engineering (OE) can be instrumental in representing the declarative knowledge needed, and how an added value in terms of intelligence can be expected for both authoring and for learning environments.

Team work is an important training element of future software engineers. However, the evaluation of the performance of collaboration among individuals is very subjective. Meanwhile, how to effectively promote the collaboration in an academic setting is an even more challenging task. The lack of a common standard or method for the assessment is a practical issue in software engineering projects....

Optical disk drives provide an effective solution to the growing need for removable high-capacity storage. In this paper, we review the technology behind the optical disk drives used in IBM’s optical storage systems. The basic physics of data recording and readout and the engineering of the primary building blocks of an optical drive (the optical head, the servo system, and the data channel) ar...

This paper proposes a novel traffic engineering method for improving the throughput characteristics of optical packet forwarding in an optical packet / path integrated network. This method is based on bypassing optical packets rejected from a highly-loaded optical packet switch onto one of the adjacent packet switches via an optical path to increase the network throughput. Since the formation o...

ABSTRACT Biophysics is an interdisciplinary pursuit requiring researchers with knowledge and skills in several areas. Optical instruments computers are fundamental tools biophysics research to collect analyze data. We developed a 1-semester Engineering Laboratory course teach image processing, optical engineering, undergraduate students majoring biology biochemistry. With the use of development...

Coherent optical metrology is a basic course for physics engineering students specialised in optics. Simulation proved to be a useful aid in studying it: the effect of the various parameters and the errors of the components can be separately traced for optimising various optical arrangements. The simulation package developed helps in studying the phenomena covered in the subject: diffuse surfac...

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) opaque networks use expensive optical/electrical/optical (O/E/O) conversion at each end of a fiber link. Several technological advances have been used in an attempt to reduce the O/E/O conversion cost component: improved optical amplifiers using distributed Raman amplification allow signals to traverse longer distances without amplification and/or r...

We have been investigating the feasibility of bottom-up tissue engineering, a new methodology to form tissues, by assembling single cells one by one using an avidin-biotin binding system (ABBS). In this report, we used optical tweezers in addition to ABBS to form small tissues where the cells alignment was precisely controlled. ABBS enabled very quick attachment of human hepatoma Hep G2 cells, ...
