A Web Service for Flexible Integration of Mobile Applications with Social Net...Victor Pantoja
The prospect of coupling social computing with sensing capabilities of current mobile devices makes it possible to provide social applications with higher degrees of context-awareness, detection of activities of individuals and groups, as well as implicit social interaction through sharing of context-sensitive information. In addition to the pervasive context obtained from the mobile devices, the links and user interactions in social networks can be regarded as rich sources of information for pervasive applications. In this paper we present Mobile Social Gateway (MoSoGw), a web service that provides a generic interface for optimized information transfer between mobile devices and different social networks, as well as third-party web services. Its interface is generic in that it makes transparent to the mobile client application the interaction with social networks and web services. Performance and scalability were major concerns when designing and implementing MoSoGw. Hence, its architecture and all technologies used in its development have been carefully chosen so as to scale to large numbers of clients and support high volume of concurrent requests.

Some potential applications of nanotechnology discussed in the document include using nanoparticles to more precisely deliver drugs to diseases cells like cancer, developing oral versions of injectable drugs, and creating wrinkle-free and waterproof fabrics. Nanotechnology may also enable lighter spacecraft and space elevators through new materials.
Nanotechnology refers to controlling and manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular scale, generally 100 nanometers or smaller. It has the potential to create new materials and devices with applications in medicine, electronics, and energy. While the concept was first introduced in 1959, scientific research has expanded greatly in recent decades. There are two main approaches - building from the bottom up using molecular components, or constructing from larger entities without atomic control. Many existing products already use nanotechnology, including sunscreens, self-cleaning glass, clothing, and swimming pool cleaners. Nanowires and carbon nanotubes show particular promise for electronics and other applications due to their extraordinary properties compared to existing materials.

47. Precision farming long-desired goal to maximise output (i.e. crop yields) while minimising input (i.e. fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, etc) through monitoring environmental variables and applying targeted action. makes use of computers, global satellite positioning systems, and remote sensing devices to measure highly localised environmental conditions thus determining whether crops are growing at maximum efficiency or precisely identifying the nature and location of problems.
48. Precision farming By using centralised data to determine soil conditions and plant development, seeding, fertilizer, chemical and water use can be fine-tuned to lower production costs and potentially increase production- all benefiting the farmer.15 help to reduce agricultural waste and thus keep environmental pollution to a minimum. Although not fully implemented yet, tiny sensors and monitoring systems enabled by nanotechnology will have a large impact on future precision farming methodologies. 15 Precision Agriculture: Changing the Face of Farming, Doug Rickman, J.C.

50. Biotech nanotechnology Nanosensors utilising carbon nanotubes16 or nano-cantilevers17 are small enough to trap and measure individual proteins or even small molecules. Nanoparticles or nanosurfaces can be engineered to trigger an electrical or chemical signal in the presence of a contaminant such as bacteria. Other nanosensors work by triggering an enzymatic reaction or by using nanoengineered branching molecules called dendrimers as probes to bind to target chemicals and proteins Carbon nanotubes are rolled sheets of graphite that are hollow and a few nm in diameter, but can be several micrometres (or more) long. 17 Cantilevers are micro-scaled structures that can be modified to bind specific chemicals. Binding causes the cantilever to bend (much like a diving board), and this movement is detected optically or electronically. 18 Down on the farm, ETC group, 2004: http://www.etcgroup.org/documents/ETC_DOTFarm2004.pdf
