Can Dew Help us to Image Insulating Material?

Simplifying the law - can ICT help us?

Usability is a well-known term in information science. According to the International Usability Standard, usability is related to: “The effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which specified users achieve specified goals in particular environments”. In other words: information is useful if it is delivered to the right person in the right location at the right time in the right amount a...

How Can Nature Help Us Compute?

Ever since Alan Turing gave us a machine model of algorithmic computation, there have been questions about how widely it is applicable (some asked by Turing himself). Although the computer on our desk can be viewed in isolation as a Universal Turing Machine, there are many examples in nature of what looks like computation, but for which there is no well-understood model. In many areas, we have ...

How can natural brains help us compute?

A model of biologically inspired natural computing is reviewed. Recurrent neural networks are set up so as to take advantage of emergent spatiotemporal chaotic regimes. Seminal work explaining the emergence of complexity in initially homogeneous physical and biological systems can be attributed to Alan Turing himself. Dynamical complexity provides a variety of computational modes and rich input...

Can Bohmian Quantum Information Help us to Understand Consciousness?

Can recent Berkeley findings help us to find a solution to the paradox of cancer incidence in high natural background radiation areas of Ramsar, Iran?

According to the report published by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) in 2000, Ramsar city in northern Iran, has some inhabited areas with the highest known natural background radiation levels in the world (1). The annual radiation absorbed dose in high background radiation areas (HBRAs) of Ramsar is extraordinary high, reaching 260 mSv that i...
