Sentient artefacts are our everyday life objects augmented with various sensors for value added services. We have been exploiting these artefacts for perceiving user context and proving proactive context aware services while keeping their natural appearances and roles intact. From our observations of these artefacts we have identified two passive advantages besides their explicit value added fu...

In A Philosophy of Technology: From Technical Artefacts to Sociotechnical Systems, technology is analysed from a series of different perspectives. The analysis starts by focussing on the most tangible products of technology, called technical artefacts, and then builds step-wise towards considering those artefacts within their context of use, and ultimately as embedded in encompassing sociotechn...

Artefacts are common in today's cone beam CT (CBCT). They are induced by discrepancies between the mathematical modelling and the actual physical imaging process. Since artefacts may interfere with the diagnostic process performed on CBCT data sets, every user should be aware of their presence. This article aims to discuss the most prominent artefacts identified in the scientific literature and...

Sentient artefacts are everyday objects augmented with digital services. Being the building blocks of our surroundings, these artefacts can incrementally integrate computing into environment and can convert it into an intelligent one economically. In this paper, we report our experiences with sentient artefacts to rationalize intelligent environment. We discuss the design principles of sentient...

Multiprotein complexes play central roles in many cellular pathways. Although many high-throughput experimental techniques have already enabled systematic screening of pairwise protein-protein interactions en masse, the amount of experimentally determined protein complex data has remained relatively lacking. As such, researchers have begun to exploit the vast amount of pairwise interaction data...

This paper presents the initial results of excavations at Kanjera South, located on the Homa Peninsula in Western Kenya. Since 1995, our exploration of this locality has yielded a combination of artefacts and well preserved faunal remains in a sedimentary context that also allows for environmental reconstruction. Here we examine the history of exploration of Kanjera and its significance in the ...
