A closer look at projects [Case study], pp. 1-4.

This is a case study that looks at two use cases for projects. The first is with Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) who use projects to archive and maintain projects within the institute (and, soon, for sensitive data). The second is with the Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MoDA) at Middlesex University who are using projects for individual research projects within the museum

Dynamics and enzymatic degradation of exopolymer particles under increasing concentrations of silver ions and nanoparticles during a marine mesocosm experiment

Pollution of the marine environment is an emerging threat. Nowadays, engineered nanoparticles (<100 nm) such as zinc, copper and silver are widely used as antimicrobial agents, therefore often present in daily-life products. Consequently, the demand and production of nanoparticles are expected to increase. Here, we specifically focus on silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Once released into the environment, AgNPs pose an obvious ecotoxicological risk, potentially affecting ecosystem structure and functioning. For instance, phytoplankton-derived exudates, rich in acidic polysaccharides and amino acids, can abiotically aggregate into microgels such as transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and Coomassie stainable particles (CSP). Hence, microgels can bridge dissolved and particulate size fractions and facilitate aggregate formation with organic and mineral particles. Both physical and chemical properties make TEP and CSP attractive nutrient hotspots for heterotrophic bacterioplankton. Bacteria, in turn, utilize extracellular enzymes to access these carbon and nitrogen pools. However, knowledge about the mechanisms by which AgNPs might interact with and affect the biogeochemical cycling of TEP and CSP is still insufficient. Therefore, we conducted a mesocosm experiment in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and investigated the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of silver ions (Ag+) and AgNP on the properties of TEP and CSP (i.e., area and abundance) along with enzymatic activity measurements. Our results showed that cyanobacteria were likely the primary source of CSP in the ultra-oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea. Also, CSP contributed more to the microgel pool than TEP, as indicated by a strong relationship between CSP and heterotrophic microbial dynamics. While silver (i.e., Ag+ or AgNP) had overall only marginal effects, both species affected the relationships between cell-specific LAPase activity and CSP and cell-specific APase activity and phosphate levels. Thus, Ag+ and AgNP have the potential to regulate microgel dynamics. However, future studies are needed to derive a robust understanding of the effects of silver pollution on the coupling of microgel formation and degradation and the follow-on effect on biogeochemical cycles

NSF Workshop on "Beyond Cognitive Radios"

<p>The concept of "Software Radio" was introduced in the early 1990s. Since then there has been significant research and development activity on software-defined radios (SDR). An important feature of the SDR vision is its ability to integrate legacy systems with newer and more advanced radio and access technologies. The work on SDR led to the realization that opportunistic spectrum utilization can lead to a dramatic improvement in the capacity of practical wireless networks, and the concept of "Cognitive Radio" was born.</p><p>In recent years, the scarcity of radio spectrum and the resulting cost of provisioning wireless services have become an impediment to the growth of the wireless industry. As the services offered by the wireless communications industry continue to expand, so does the need for higher data rates both, instantaneous (to support real-time communication), and aggregated (to support the increasing pool of customers). Indeed, the use of the cellular spectrum has increased impressively in recent years, due to the introduction of new mobile wireless devices, and a large number of applications supported on such devices. Keeping these challenges in mind, a June 2010 Presidential Memorandum issued a call to "create and implement a plan to facilitate research, development, experimentation, and testing by researchers to explore innovative spectrum-sharing technologies".</p><p>The workshop on "Beyond Cognitive Radio" was organized with the goal of examining the state of the art in cognitive radios, and identifying research challenges that need to be addressed in future research on cognitive radio systems.</p><p>The attendees at the workshop included representatives from academia, industry, and the government. The workshop was held at the Siebel Center for Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on June 13-14, 2011.</p
