Light induced spiking of proteinoids (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are produced by heating amino acids to their melting point and initiating polymerisation to produce polymeric chains. In aqueous solutions proteinoids swell into hollow microspheres. These microspheres produce endoge... Read More about Light induced spiking of proteinoids.

A systematic review of reverberation and accessibility for B/blind users in virtual environments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Reverberation is often used in linear and non-linear media to convey the acoustic characteristics of a space. This information is presented alongside visual stimuli to create a multi-modal experience, assisting participants in developing visual and a...

Maintenance automation using deep learning methods: A case study from the aerospace industry (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this study, state-of-the-art AI models are employed to classify aerospace maintenance records into categories based on the fault descriptions of avionic components. The classification is performed using short natural language text descriptions pro... Read More about Maintenance automation using deep learning methods: A case study from the aerospace industry.

Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid (2023)
Journal Article

Colloids subjected to electrical stimuli exhibit a reconfiguration that might be used to store information and potentially compute. In a colloidal suspension of ZnO nanoparticles in DMSO, we investigated the learning, memorization, time and stimulati... Read More about Learning in colloids: Synapse-like ZnO + DMSO colloid.

Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune (2023)
Journal Article

Growing colonies of the split-gill fungus Schizophyllum commune show action potential-like spikes of extracellular electrical potential. We analysed several days of electrical activity recording of the fungus and discovered three families of oscillat... Read More about Multiscalar electrical spiking in Schizophyllum commune.

SWEL: A domain-specific language for modeling data-intensive workflows (2023)
Journal Article

Data-intensive applications aim at discovering valuable knowledge from large amounts of data coming from real-world sources. Typically, workflow languages are used to specify these applications, and their associated engines enable the execution of th...

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...
