![]() DNA-based construction is a natural modular platform, which via the programmability of sequence design and self-assembly allows different structural and functional motifs to be flexibly combined. DNA-Robotics brings together the leading research groups in DNA nanotechnology in Europe to collectively develop an integrated and modular robotic platform and demonstrate applications of the novel technology. With DNA-Based Modular Robotics (DNA-Robotics) we will take the first steps to scale advanced robotic behavior to the molecular scale for future medical and technological applications. These principles apply to the human scale robotic systems that currently transform the way we work and live. Robotic systems essentially comprise sensors and actuators connected to and coordinated by an information-processing unit. This is achieved through the dedicated training of researchers with profiles at the inter-sectoral edge of computer science, artificial intelligence, environmental science (both experimental and modelling), scoial sciences and sensor engineering and communication. We will initiate a new machine-learning approach to analyse large high-throughput environmental data-streams, through installing a pioneer ecosystem-of-things at the ForHot site.įutureArctic will thus channel, building on a timely project in the ForHot area, an important evolution to machine-assisted environmental fundamental research. The FORHOT site in Iceland offers a geothermally controlled soil temperature warming gradient, to study how Arctic ecosystem processes are affected by temperature increases as expected through climate change.įutureArctic aims to pave the way for generalized permanently connected data acquisition systems for key environmental variables and processes. An overarching question remains: how much carbon will potentially escape the Arctic in the future climate, and how will this affect climate change?įutureArctic embeds this research challenge directly in an inter-sectoral training initiative for early stage researchers, that aims to form “ecosystem-of-things” scientists and engineers at the ForHot site. With warming, the carbon can rapidly escape the soils in the form of CO2 and (even worse) the strong greenhouse agent CH4.ĭespite decades of research, scientists still struggle to unveil the scale of this carbon exchange, and especially how it will interact with climate change. During millions of years, atmospheric carbon has been stored in the Arctic soils. While this is threatening the integrity and biodiversity of the ecosystems in itself, the larger ecosystem feedbacks triggered by this change are even more worrisome. Wikipedia.Ĭlimate change will affect Arctic ecosystems more than any other ecosystem worldwide, with temperature increases expected up to 4-6☌. In June 2012, Microsoft entered the personal computer production market for the first time, with the launch of the Microsoft Surface, a line of tablet computers.With the acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division to form Microsoft Mobile Oy, the company re-entered the smartphone hardware market, after its previous attempt, Microsoft Kin, which resulted from their acquisition of Danger Inc. The company also produces a wide range of other software for desktops and servers, and is active in areas including Internet search, the video game industry, the digital services market, and mobile phones. In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in its largest acquisition to date.As of 2013, Microsoft is market dominant in both the IBM PC-compatible operating system and office software suite markets. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions. The company's 1986 initial public offering, and subsequent rise in its share price, created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires from Microsoft employees. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Microsoft Windows. It is also one of the world's most valuable companies.Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for Altair 8800. It is the world's largest software maker measured by revenues. ![]() ![]() ![]() Its flagship hardware products are the Xbox game consoles and the Microsoft Surface tablet lineup. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, Microsoft Office office suite, and Internet Explorer web browser. Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services.
