Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature generates structurally complex architectures with feature sizes covering several length scales under rather simple environmental conditions and with limited resources. Today, researchers understand how many of these structures look and behave, but, in many instances, we still lack nature’s ability to marry elegant structures with complex functionality. By unraveling the wonders of nature’s design, scientists have developed biomimetic and biotemplated materials with entirely new functions and behaviors. In particular, solution-based methods provide simple, inexpensive routes to generating bioreplicated structures. In this chapter, we survey solution-based bioreplication methods and provide an example for generating three-dimensional photonic crystal structures based on colored weevil scales. This example illustrates how structural engineering in biology can be replicated using sol–gel chemistry and results in an entirely new optical material with fascinating properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we emulate nature's technology in chemistry? Through billions of years of evolution, Nature has generated some remarkable systems and substances that have made life on earth what it is today. Increasingly, scientists are seeking to mimic Nature's systems and processes in the lab in order to harness the power of Nature for the benefit of society. Bioinspiration and Biomimicry in Chemistry explores the chemistry of Nature and how we can replicate what Nature does in abiological settings. Specifically, the book focuses on wholly artificial, man-made systems that employ or are inspired by principles of Nature, but which do not use materials of biological origin. Beginning with a general overview of the concept of bioinspiration and biomimicry in chemistry, the book tackles such topics as: Bioinspired molecular machines Bioinspired catalysis Biomimetic amphiphiles and vesicles Biomimetic principles in macromolecular science Biomimetic cavities and bioinspired receptors Biomimicry in organic synthesis Written by a team of leading international experts, the contributed chapters collectively lay the groundwork for a new generation of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials, pharmaceuticals, and technologies. Readers will discover the latest advances in our ability to replicate natural systems and materials as well as the many impediments that remain, proving how much we still need to learn about how Nature works. Bioinspiration and Biomimicry in Chemistry is recommended for students and researchers in all realms of chemistry. Addressing how scientists are working to reverse engineer Nature in all areas of chemical research, the book is designed to stimulate new discussion and research in this exciting and promising field.

Download or read book From Neuron to Cognition via Computational Neuroscience written by Michael A. Arbib and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, integrated, and accessible textbook presenting core neuroscientific topics from a computational perspective, tracing a path from cells and circuits to behavior and cognition. This textbook presents a wide range of subjects in neuroscience from a computational perspective. It offers a comprehensive, integrated introduction to core topics, using computational tools to trace a path from neurons and circuits to behavior and cognition. Moreover, the chapters show how computational neuroscience—methods for modeling the causal interactions underlying neural systems—complements empirical research in advancing the understanding of brain and behavior. The chapters—all by leaders in the field, and carefully integrated by the editors—cover such subjects as action and motor control; neuroplasticity, neuromodulation, and reinforcement learning; vision; and language—the core of human cognition. The book can be used for advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses. It presents all necessary background in neuroscience beyond basic facts about neurons and synapses and general ideas about the structure and function of the human brain. Students should be familiar with differential equations and probability theory, and be able to pick up the basics of programming in MATLAB and/or Python. Slides, exercises, and other ancillary materials are freely available online, and many of the models described in the chapters are documented in the brain operation database, BODB (which is also described in a book chapter).

This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Futures studies are particularly important in our contemporary world, indispensable for countries and institutions alike. Unprecedented rapid developments in all fields require continuous efforts, from countries and individuals, to explore the future and draw up plans to keep pace with the latest developments. Moreover, countries that aspire to strengthen their economic position, and see citizens reach their full potential by providing the highest standards of welfare, should base strategies for the future on rational, objective studies. In this context, The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research’s (ECSSR) 23rd Annual Conference, ‘Futures Studies’, merits special attention, as it tackled a critical subject that is of great interest for strategic planners and decision-makers, particularly in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is especially significant as the UAE pursues future plans in accordance with its ambitious aspirations to become the best country in the world by its centennial in 2071. This book documents the key proceedings and discussions of the ECSSR’s 23rd Annual Conference. Through its seven chapters, researchers examine the most important areas pertaining to futures studies. The first chapter looks at the evolution of warfare over the last two centuries and discusses the ways these changes have impacted paradigms of political stability. The second chapter discusses international relations in the post-globalization era. The third chapter examines the Sapiens 5.0 (S5.0) manifesto, which includes advancing interdisciplinary and future-focused solutions. The fourth chapter reviews the revolutionary aspects of genomic medicine, while the fifth chapter discusses bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which has developed into a global crisis affecting the world’s health and economic well-being. The sixth chapter examines ageing communities and the need to redesign healthcare systems. Finally, the seventh chapter highlights social networking technology and the media of the future.

Book excerpt: Bioinspired systems, technologies and techniques known as “biomimetics” or the “mimicry of nature,” represent a ground-breaking method of scientific research based on innovation and a creative design approach of the ‘nature’ laboratory to be applied to any scientific discipline. This approach and the associated way of thinking facilitates the cross-fertilization of scientific fields, integrating biology and the interdisciplinary knowledge featuring the evolution of models that have refined in nature within any scientific discipline.
