An integrated workstation for the study of fluid and particle motion in a fluidized bed reactor, which will permit effective and safe drug removal within an extracorporeal system, was constructed. Our main objective was to identify and investigate those flow…

A multi-staged system for off-line handwritten numeral recognition is presented here. After scanning, the digitized binary bitmap image of the source document is passed through a preprocessing stage which performs segmentation, thinning and rethickening, normalization, and slant correction. The recognizer…

A grand challenge of computational systems biology is to create a molecular pathway model of the whole cell. Current approaches involve merging smaller molecular pathway models’ source codes to create a large monolithic model (computer program) that runs on a…

Biomimetics of communication and media to design complex service systems is a relatively unexplored field. System biology’s recent understanding of cellular communication may provide insights to design and understand complex communication service systems. Cell membranes are one such design example;…

It is widely recognized that major improvements are required in the methods currently being used to develop new therapeutic drugs. The time from initial target identification to commercialization can be 10-14 years and incur a cost in the hundreds of…
