Middleware for assisted living homes (MiddAALware)
… middleware solutions tend to be large and are designed for expansive smart systems, which is less than ideal for the more modest scale of AAL homes targeted at individuals, such as those with early-stage dementia. The development of personalised and adaptive AAL systems necessitates middleware …

Minimalist Hardware Architectures for Agent Tracking and Guidance
… requirements for solving a task. This minimalist approach lies in contrast to the common practice of first taking an existing sensory motor system, and only afterwards determining how to apply the robotic system to the task. While it may seem convenient to simply apply existing hardware …

Coordination Geometries in Metallobundles Enforcing Oxidative and Hydrolytic Catalysis and Designing Biomaterials for Use As Antimicrobials
<p>De novo protein design permits discovery of intricate folds and functions emulating natural enzymes in simpler, yet robust model constructs. Helical bundles serve as premier scaffolds to incorporate diverse reactivities from oxidative, reductive, to hydrolytic transformations observed in much …
