This paper analyzes the ontological requirements for representing biology knowledge, and identifies several areas where current knowledge representation (KR) paradigms need to be extended. We focus on the representation of experimental materials and methods, and the reasoning task of intelligent information retrieval; however, the ontological issues we raise apply to biology (and experimental s...

Microtechnology becomes a versatile tool for biological and biomedical applications. Microwells have been established long but remained non-intelligent up to now. Merging new fabrication techniques and handling concepts with microelectronics enables to realize intelligent microwells suitable for future improved cancer treatment. The described technology depicts the basis for the fabrication of ...

AbstrAct The paper outlines a new paradigm and its underlying rationales for implementing networked learning environments that is emerging from new technologies such as multiuser platform, virtual worlds, virtual learning community, and intelligent agents. The proposed paradigm of the networked learning environments is described as inhabited virtual learning worlds (IVLW), which is a shared lea...

There is a bright future in the development and utilization of nanoscale systems based on intelligent materials that can respond to external input providing a beneficial function. Specific functional groups can be incorporated into polymers to make them responsive to environmental stimuli such as pH, temperature, or varying concentrations of biomolecules. The fusion of such "intelligent" biomat...

Engineering the molecular design of intelligent biomaterials by controlling recognition and specificity is the first step in coordinating and duplicating complex biological and physiological processes. We address design and synthesis characteristics of artificial molecular structures capable of specific molecular recognition of biological molecules. Recent developments in protein delivery have ...

The economical use of energy and other limited resources and the protection of the environment will be one of the main influencing cornerstones of tomorrow's mobility. Intensive efforts in the automotive industry focus on further reduction of CO2 emissions and higher energy efficiency in all phases of vehicle life cycles. Consequent development of lightweight design plays a major role for furth...

-This study aimed to look at the adequacy. Instructional Materials used in Teaching TLE as Perceived by the 4th year BSE TLE and there is enough classroom and space utilized for placement of equipment and machines: (1) Computer Aided Drafting, (2) intelligence, and experience of the learners. Other chapters provide a brief explanation for the heavy use of graphics, which is applied PDF (37 K) A...

This paper reviews the evolution of computer systems based on the so-called "intelligent" technologies now being applied in different application areas throughout the mining, minerals, and materials industries. These systems have emerged from the field of "Artificial Intelligence" in which expert systems, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, and agent-based software have...
