Idea Engineering: Teaching Students how to Generate Ideas
The ability to generate ideas for solving problems and producing innovations is undoubtedly an important skill for any engineer. Usually, this is accomplished using well-known, but generic creativity techniques. These methods tend to be unstructured and somewhat random in their approach, and there are no clear guidelines available for their application. At the University of Magdeburg, we have t...
متن کاملEntropy, Disease, and New Opportunities for Chemical Engineering Research
Randomness, diversity, fluctuations, and correlations play a significant role in disease, disease treatment, and the immune response to disease. I suggest that statistical mechanics, the physical theory of randomness that uses a system’s physical behavior at the molecular or atomic scale to synthesize a picture of the behavior at a larger level, can address some of these issues. Theory and math...
متن کاملBright ideas for chemical biology.
Small-molecule fluorescent probes embody an essential facet of chemical biology. Although numerous compounds are known, the ensemble of fluorescent probes is based on a modest collection of modular "core" dyes. The elaboration of these dyes with diverse chemical moieties is enabling the precise interrogation of biochemical and biological systems. The importance of fluorescence-based technologie...

متن کاملPermutation Entropy: New Ideas and Challenges
During the last years some new variants of Permutation entropy have been introduced and applied to EEG analysis, among them a conditional variant and variants using some additional metric information or being based on entropies different from the Shannon entropy. In some situations it is not completely clear what kind of information the new measures and their algorithmic implementations provide...
