Organic Bioelectronics: Bridging the Signaling Gap between Biology and Technology

Organic Bioelectronics: Bridging the Signaling Gap between Biology and Technology.

The electronics surrounding us in our daily lives rely almost exclusively on electrons as the dominant charge carrier. In stark contrast, biological systems rarely use electrons but rather use ions and molecules of varying size. Due to the unique combination of both electronic and ionic/molecular conductivity in conducting and semiconducting organic polymers and small molecules, these materials...

Bridging the gap between systems biology and synthetic biology

Systems biology is an inter-disciplinary science that studies the complex interactions and the collective behavior of a cell or an organism. Synthetic biology, as a technological subject, combines biological science and engineering, allowing the design and manipulation of a system for certain applications. Both systems and synthetic biology have played important roles in the recent development ...

Tourette Syndrome: Bridging the Gap between Genetics and Biology.

Tourette syndrome is a childhood neuropsychiatric disorder, which presents with disruptive motor and vocal tics. The disease also has a high comorbidity with obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which may further increase the distress experienced by patients. Current treatments act with varying efficacies in alleviating symptoms, as the underlying biology ...

Bridging the Gap between Computer Science and Technology

Most of students do not have enough experience of working in interdisciplinary team. This paper shows how some interdisciplinary control problems can be stated and solved by students with some knowledge of modern CASE tools. An example of automotive ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is given to explain graphical approach with RUP and UML in design of a control system. Copyright © 2006 IFAC
