Smart Paving and Infrastructure Materials for Longer Service Life

Service Composition and Deployment for a Smart Items Infrastructure

Smart items technologies, like RFID and sensor networks, are the next big step in business process automation. We are currently developing a dedicated Smart Items Infrastructure (SII) that supports the development and deployment of distributed ubiquitous computing applications. Decomposing these applications into individual services and deploying them at different devices poses new technical ch...

Paving the way for SMART weight loss in college students.

Many established and emerging technologies represent attractive mediums for the implementation of behavioural weight loss interventions in college students due to their widespread reach, familiarity, and appeal among other advantageous characteristics. 1 However, surprisingly few studies have sought to evaluate technology-based behavioural weight loss interventions in college students. 2 In The...

Sex and the Longer Life

This is an important book less perhaps because of what it says than because it has been written at all. The fact of sexuality in old people is one which society, as Dr. Felstein points out, is always eager to sweep under the carpet; and Dr. Felstein readily admits that our impressions on this subject far outrun the area of factual knowledge. There are of course many 'resistances' to embarking o...

Materials Ontology: An Infrastructure for Exchanging Materials Information and Knowledge

We have rich information resources for materials science and engineering raw measurement data, computational simulation methods, digitized handbooks, and digital libraries. However, these resources have a wide variety of formats, terminologies, and concepts, which makes it difficult to find appropriate information for materials design, development, and evaluation. One solution to this problem i...
