According to this design, MAS can be used to extend the functionality of ordinary process automation systems at higher levels of control.
Functionally graded (FG) aluminum (Al) foam, which consists of multilayers of different Al foams, is expected to exhibit higher functionality than ordinary uniform Al foam.
Such properties make possible to endow ordinary products with new functionalities.
Nowadays the development of new technologies can add new functionalities to ordinary materials without modifying their appearance, and this is especially interesting for textiles.
I took ordinary objects and made them unfamiliar, removing functionality in order to reveal their potential metaphorical associations, which can lead in turn to overlapping and sometimes paradoxical meanings".
First the computers at the center of a network become powerful; then the computers at the edge, the consumer and ordinary business devices, acquire more power and functionality, challenging the processing power of the center.
By combining form and functionality with aesthetics and sensuality, the once ordinary wall clock is now transformed into the visually impactful Breast Clock.
Besides topological consideration, the dynamical behavior of the motifs can be formulated by a system of ordinary differential equations, where the solutions described certain biological functionalities.
We construct an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) model of the network and explain the frequency multiplier functionality through a bifurcation analysis of this model.
To accomplish this requirement, we developed BioNetCAD, a plug-in for CellDesigner, that integrates (i) the graphical functionalities (Kitano et al., 2005) of CellDesigner (Funahashi et al., 2003, 2008); (ii) CompuBioTicDB, a database of biological elements; and (iii) simulation functions like the HSim software and classical Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs).
