Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions. These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds. To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Source: Alexander S Rattner, Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA This experiment introduces the measurement and modeling of pressure losses in piping networks and internal flow systems. In such systems, frictional flow resistance from channel walls, fittings, and obstructions causes mechanical energy in the form of fluid pressure to be converted to heat. Engineering analyses are needed to size flow hardware to ensure...

Spontaneous activity of developing neuronal networks can be measured using AM-ester forms of calcium-sensitive indicator dyes. Changes in intracellular calcium, indicating neuronal activation, are detected as transient changes in indicator fluorescence with one- or two-photon imaging. This protocol can be adapted for a range of developmentally-dependent neuronal networks in vitro.
FAQs
An IoT network moves information through several stages: sensors collect readings, communication protocols carry those readings across local or wide-area connections, and gateways or edge devices can receive and process them before forwarding data to cloud platforms. The resulting information may support monitoring, generate insights, or trigger commands that control connected equipment with limited human intervention.
Communication protocols establish how connected sensors, devices, and machines exchange data. Interoperability, meaning the ability of different components to work together, is essential because an engineering system may combine equipment from multiple sources. Without compatible communication, data may not move reliably between devices, gateways, edge systems, and cloud platforms, limiting monitoring, automation, and control.
Edge devices process information closer to the sensors and machines that produce it, while cloud platforms provide a separate location for receiving and processing transmitted data. This distinction affects how an engineered system organizes data handling and commands. Selecting or combining these locations can influence communication paths, system responsiveness, and the usefulness of collected information.
Connectivity, interoperability, energy efficiency, data security, and reliable performance are central design factors. Connectivity determines whether readings and commands can travel across local or wide-area links, while interoperability supports cooperation among different components. Energy efficiency helps manage device operation, security protects exchanged data, and reliability determines whether monitoring and control remain dependable in engineering applications.
Begin by identifying the sensors, devices, or machines that must be monitored or controlled. Then determine how their data will travel through local or wide-area connections, where gateways or edge devices should process it, and whether cloud platforms are needed. Finally, evaluate interoperability, energy efficiency, security, and reliability against the intended monitoring, automation, or control requirements.
Engineering applications include industrial equipment, buildings, transportation systems, and infrastructure. In these settings, connected components can provide ongoing monitoring, exchange operational data, and support automated actions or control. The collected information can also be converted into insights, helping engineers organize data-driven systems around equipment status, building conditions, transportation activity, or infrastructure performance.
