Abstract:
This article focuses on bioengineering practices that is one of today’s most exciting and rapidly growing fields of engineering. The field of bioengineering was developed primarily in the latter half of the 20th century, although its roots can be traced back to the work of early scientists such as Galileo and Newton. Another characteristic of the 20th century was the Age of Specialization. We now have come to a point where creative contributions and major advances are made at the interface and the cross section of fields. Bioengineering provides a fantastic model for such an interface. Computational bioengineering is proceeding from the genetic level to the organic. The major advances in biology, such as the field of genomics, have created a tremendously fertile ground for discovery and application. Engineering methods and principles have a vast opportunity to make an impact. There is a need to develop experimentally based computational models and tools to address problems ranging from regulation of gene expression to subcellular and cellular interactions, to tissue and organ function. This is a field at the intersection of biotechnology and information technology.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 2015, the North Sea petroleum province was 50 years old. The celebrations were short lived because oil prices and gas prices were in free fall. The demand from the UK market had outstripped demand back in 2005 and, 10 years on, falling production and increasing operating expenditure, when coupled with falling prices, had brought the North Sea to crisis point. Many fields became unprofitable and companies began to close down. In an effort to avert the developing crisis, this work examines what options exist for better utilizing the North Sea industry, be that monetizing co-produced fluids or using the pore space once occupied by petroleum for waste products such as carbon dioxide. We briefly examine: the possibility of utilizing heat from the co-produced fluids for power generation; extracting gases and ores from co-produced fluids; and evaluation of the role that carbon dioxide could play in enhanced oil and gas recovery, as well as its ultimate long-term storage in geological deep storage.

Abstract:
Investigations into the thermodynamic processes in labyrinth seal flow fields have been carried out using the nonintrusive optical technique of holographic interferometry. Labyrinth seals in the form of two-dimensional actual size models were used. The types of seal geometry tested reflected those in current use in aerogas turbines, their sizes being typically 10 mm × 20 mm in section with sealing constrictions as small as 0.25 mm. The tests provided a great deal of information that had not previously been available and confirmed several experimental and theoretical results that were not fully understood. The data were obtained in the form of isodensity contour maps. These full field density measurements of the test section flow were analyzed in several ways to provide an insight into the processes occurring within the labyrinth seal. The effects of kinetic energy carry-over upon seal stage performance were dramatically demonstrated in both straight-through and stepped seals. Useful qualitative, as well as quantitative, information regarding the flow field structure could be obtained from the isodensity maps. An indication of particular flow features was obtained at a glance. The optical technique was found to be ideally suited to the investigations and the expected difficulties associated with working in the very small test sections did not arise. The configuration of the optical system ensured that image aberrations were minimized and temporal flow instabilities did not adversely affect the isodensity contour maps. The paper reviews the optical technique and presents a selection of the holographic results along with their interpretation.

Abstract:
Abstract:I have been asked to write personally of John [Merryman]. Not of him as scholar, educator, author, nor even as father of the fields of art and cultural property law, but as the person who did these things, and more. To present an inclusive, all-embracing picture of John, the universalist, both in himself and what he has done.First, I owe my interest, career, and whatever contributions I have made as lawyer, teacher, and writer on art and cultural property law to John. Nearly 30 years ago, as a corporate litigator and neophyte collector interested in the connection between art and law, I read Law Ethics and the Visual Arts.1 In chapters entitled “Plunder, Destruction, and Reparation” and “An Artist’s Life,” I was taken by its commitment to culture, its questions—such as, Can art be more valuable than a life?—and its overarching ethical yet concrete approach to them. I became a fledgling in the fields of art and cultural property law. A few years later I met John at a conference in Amsterdam. He became a mentor, model, and friend.

At any moment in the history of a particular culture, there exists a dominant paradigm, an idea in the air, that expresses the way the world works. These paradigms are general and their manifestations are interdisciplinary, first expressed as structures, relationships and processes in the avant gardes of all fields, then gradually accepted as a norm by almost everyone.

Abstract:
The unprecedented technology advancements in miniaturizing integrated circuits, and the resulting plethora of sophisticated, low cost electronic devices demonstrate the impact that micro/nano scale engineering can have when applied only to the area of electrical and computer engineering. Current research efforts in micro/nano fabrication technology for implementing integrated devices hope to yield similar revolutions in life science fields. The integrated life chip technology requires the integration of multiple materials, phenomena, technologies, and functions at micro/nano scales. By cross linking the individual engineering fields through micro/nano technology, various miniaturized life chips will have future impacts in the application markets such as medicine and healthcare.

This article focuses on Hallam Stevens’ work Life out of Sequence: A Data-Driven History of Bioinformatics and stresses the important process of data generation and how this process has now become an issue, in some fields, beyond human control. We suggest the best way to approach the proliferation of data is to adopt an onto-epistemic position. We further explore the rise of an algorithmic society and the problem “gaps” created in date generation. We finish the article by exploring the fruitful ways Mark B. N. Hansen’s latest work, Feed Forward, plays in helping researchers understand the proliferation of data generation.

Abstract:
My long career in virology has been a continuous learning exercise with a very modest start. Virology and related pertinent fields have changed significantly during my lifetime. Sometimes I wish that my career had just started and I could apply all available and state of the art technology to solving problems and explaining intriguing observations. I was always convinced that visiting growers’ fields is essential for researchers to get firsthand observations and knowledge of virus disease problems under field conditions. I never thought I would pursue so many avenues of research, yet it is true that research never ends. I enjoyed dissecting strain diversity in a very important plant pathogen like bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) and using BPMV-based vectors to address fundamental virology questions. Lastly, solving the enigma of the transmissible disease of Helminthosporium victoriae and attempting to gain an understanding of the molecular basis of disease in a plant pathogenic fungus were thrilling.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the meaning of the concept "life" in relation to research on the quality of life. It is shown that the quality of life is a complex transdisciplinary concept, which significantly complicates the formation of a generalized and conventional interpretation of this concept. The concept of "life", which plays a decisive role in the interpretation of the quality of life, has a different meaning in various scientific fields involved in the study of the quality of life. The article deals with the philosophical, linguistic and religious-sacred content of the concept "life". There are three main semantic centers that reflect the biological, social and transcendental levels of "life". Life as a designation of biological existence ("organism") is revealed through a complex of meanings associated with all the properties inherent in a living organism (duration of existence in time, integrity, activity, activeness, completeness of the manifestation of vital forces, etc.). Life as a metaphor for human social existence ("life in society») is characterizes the activity of social groups and individuals in the social space – in everyday life, in various spheres of society, etc. Life as the transcendental basis of biological and social existence ("eternal life") is revealed through the value dimension and has a rich semantic religious symbolism. The symbolic difference in the meanings of the concept "life" is demonstrated in the form of distinguishing three different words of the Russian language that constitute this concept – zhivot, zhitiye (living) and zhizn' (life). Considered projection of these semantic centres on the concept of quality of life and the interpretation of quality of life depending on the interpretation of the concept "life" on the example of two disciplines – medicine and economics. In medical research, the focus is on the bodily and biological aspects of life: the impact of diseases on various body functions that affect the physiological, mental, emotional and social functioning of a person. In economics, the concept of "life" is considered as a designation of a certain activity of society and people in various fields and spheres.

Abstract:
In this article, we trace the analogies, parallels and affinities between bio-inspired generative art and bio art practices with strong generative flavour. We look at the creative and expressive features in these two fields, compare their shared interests in the design and development of life, and discuss the strategies they apply to communicate and engage the audience. With respect to the existing literature, which relates bio and generative art primarily within a historical context, we compare these two fields focusing on generativity as their common poetic driver. We indicate their shared impetus for rendering distinctive visions of nature in order to identify, contemplate or provoke dramatic changes in the era when biological processes become programmable and living matter can be instrumentalized for various forms of labour. We also examine the epistemological and practical effectiveness of the two fields within a broader socio-technical perspective, which leads us to their constructive critique.

Abstract:
Recent and ongoing debates in biology and in the philosophy of biology reveal widespread dissatisfaction with the current definitions or circumscriptions, which are often vague or controversial, of key concepts such as the gene, individual, species, and homology, and even of whole disciplinary fields within the life sciences. To some extent, the long growing awareness of these conceptual issues and the contrasting views defended in their regard can be construed as a symptom of the need to revisit traditional unchallenged partitions between the specialist disciplines within the life sciences. I argue here that the current relationships between anchor disciplines (e.g., developmental biology, evolutionary biology, biology of reproduction) and nomadic concepts wandering between them is worth being explored from a reciprocal perspective, by selecting suitable anchor concepts around which disciplinary fields can flexibly move. Three examples are offered, focusing on generalized anchor concepts of generation (redefined in a way that suggests new perspectives on development and reproduction), organizational module (with a wide-ranging domain of application in comparative morphology, developmental biology, and evolutionary biology) and species as unit of representation of biological diversity (suggesting a taxonomic pluralism that must be managed with suitable adjustments of current nomenclature rules).

Abstract:
The Legendre North and South Oil Fields (together referred to as the field) have been producing since May 2001 from high rate horizontal wells and had produced 18 MMBBL by end 2002. This represents about 45% of the proven and probable reserves for the field.Many pre-drill uncertainties remain. The exploration and development wells are located primarily along the crest of the structure, leaving significant gross rock volume uncertainty on the flanks of the field. Qualitative use of amplitudes provides some insight into the Legendre North Field but not the Legendre South Field where the imaging is poor. The development wells were drilled horizontally and did not intersect any fluid contacts.Early field life has brought some surprises, despite a rigorous assessment of uncertainty during the field development planning process. Higher than expected gas-oil ratios suggested a saturated oil with small primary gas caps, rather than the predicted under-saturated oil. Due to the larger than expected gas volumes, the gas reinjection system proved to have inadequate redundancy resulting in constrained production from the field. The pre-drill geological model has required significant changes to reflect the drilling and production results to date. The intra-field shales needed to be areally much smaller than predicted to explain well intersections and production performance. This is consistent with outcrop analogues.Surprises are common when an oil field is first developed and often continue to arise during secondary development phases. Learnings, in the context of subsurface uncertainty, from other oil fields in the greater North West Shelf are compared briefly to highlight the importance of managing uncertainty during field development planning. It is important to have design flexibility to enable facility adjustments to be made easily, early in field life.

Abstract:
Last September Dr Arthur Wills OBE celebrated his 80th birthday by publishing his memoirs Full With Wills and enjoying a host of performances of some of his works. Now living in retirement in Ely, within sight of the great Cathedral whose musical life he developed and directed for over 40 years, he spoke to me at length in May this year about his life in music: as organist, choir director, composer, academic and educator.

Abstract:
This article focuses on the fact that as biosciences and engineering that continue to blend and merge, the technologies and methods used by professionals in both fields have come to overlap as well. There are plenty of mechanical engineers already engaged in developing devices and in other biomedical roles. Advances in the life sciences require that mechanical engineers get on board to help solve complicated biological problems. A mechanical engineer working on a CAD system cannot readily replicate the intricacies of the human body digitally. A bone designed on a BioCAD system needs to have its basis in a patient scan. Each model will be unique. As mechanical engineering creeps into bioengineering and other life sciences, and vice versa, trades like those described by Chen and Sun will become more common and ever more viable. CAD and other engineering technologies will mutate and change until students of tomorrow may have a hard time recognizing the tools of today.

Abstract:
In the modern period of universal consumer and entertainment psychology of society, interest in gamification is growing. Game components penetrate into all spheres of activity: business, banking, education and even medicine - common trainings, quests aimed at mastering certain skills. The method of typology, aimed at finding stable features and properties of the object under study. Content analysis was involved, in particular, resources with gamified elements were monitored for automated information retrieval (content monitoring). In the course of the research we came to the conclusion that gamification has a significant impact on the life of modern man. The market of gamified technologies is actively developing in Ukraine and the world. Gamification allows the rational use of available resources, so that as a result all parties achieve the goal, but its use should be treated with caution so as not to exacerbate existing contradictions or, conversely, not to demotivate. That is why it is so important to be critical of the use of game elements in each of the spheres, to realize and distinguish the useful potential of the game from the game as an end in itself, which can adversely affect mental and physical health, self-realization in society.

Abstract:
In this article, we explore how the history and myths about Artificial Life (AL) inform the pursuit and reception of contemporary AL technologies. First, we show that long before the contemporary fields of robotics and genomics, ancient civilizations attempted to create AL in the magical and religious pursuits of automata and alchemy. Next, we explore four persistent cultural myths surrounding AL—namely, those of Pygmalion, Golem, Frankenstein, and Metropolis. These myths offer several insights into why humanity is both fascinated with and fearful of AL. Thereafter, we distinguish contemporary approaches to AL, including biochemical or “wet” approaches (e.g., artificial organs), electromechanical or “hard” approaches (e.g., robot companions), and software-based or “soft” approaches (e.g., digital voice assistants). We also outline an emerging approach to AL that combines all three of the preceding approaches in pursuit of “transhumanism.” We then map out how the four historical myths surrounding AL shape modern society’s reception of the four contemporary AL pursuits. Doing so reveals the enduring human fears that must be addressed through careful development of ethical guidelines for public policy that ensure human safety, dignity, and morality. We end with two sets of questions for future research: one supportive of AL and one more skeptical and cautious.
