Exploiting Redundancy for Robust Sensing
In this thesis, we explore the challenges in making an Internet-scale heterogeneous sensing system more robust. We target ”end-to-end” robustness in that we address failures in collecting data from a large collection of wired and wireless sensors, and problems in making sensor readings available to end-users from storage on Internet-connected nodes. Although often overlooked, robustness is extr...
متن کاملSocial Evolution Selects for Redundancy in Bacterial Quorum Sensing
Quorum sensing is a process of chemical communication that bacteria use to monitor cell density and coordinate cooperative behaviors. Quorum sensing relies on extracellular signal molecules and cognate receptor pairs. While a single quorum-sensing system is sufficient to probe cell density, bacteria frequently use multiple quorum-sensing systems to regulate the same cooperative behaviors. The p...
متن کاملConstruction of near-infrared photonic crystal glucose-sensing materials for ratiometric sensing of glucose in tears.
Noninvasive monitoring of glucose in tears is highly desirable in tight glucose control. The polymerized crystalline colloidal array (PCCA) that can be incorporated into contact lens represents one of the most promising materials for noninvasive monitoring of glucose in tears. However, low sensitivity and slow time response of the PCCA reported in previous arts has limited its clinical utility....
متن کاملGlucose Sensing Neurons in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus
Neurons whose activity is regulated by glucose are found in a number of brain regions. Glucose-excited (GE) neurons increase while glucose-inhibited (GI) neurons decrease their action potential frequency as interstitial brain glucose levels increase. We hypothesize that these neurons evolved to sense and respond to severe energy deficit (e.g., fasting) that threatens the brains glucose supply. ...

process designed to ensure near constant blood glucose levels in the face of increases in supply during meals and varying rates of utilization of the sugar by tissues. Loss of insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cells thus underlies the pathology of Type 1 diabetes (20), whereas cellular dysfunction (25) perhaps compounded by a decrease in total cell mass (7) contributes to Type 2 diabetes (56, ...
