Innovative wireless sensors networks, weather stations, HD video cameras, drones, a Wildfire Control Room at Puglia Civil Protection for fire hazard forecasting and monitoring, FireAware, a mobile App to raise citizens awareness of the problem of wildfires: the regions of Puglia (Italy) and Epirus (Greece) now have new and more effective tools for fighting forest wildfires thanks to the project OFIDIA2 Operational FIre Danger preventIon plAtform 2, funded by the Interreg V-A Greece-Italy Programme 2014-2020 and coordinated by the CMCC Foundation.
The Research Center for Open Science and Data Platform of the National Institute of Informatics has developed a research data management platform called GakuNin RDM for systematically managing and sharing prepublication research data, and began its full operation on Monday, February 15th.

The ease with which anyone can create online content for free, especially on social media, has led to superabundance of information being one of the defining characteristics of today s communication systems. This situation has resulted in increasingly intense competition for attention, which has become a scarce good. The researchers from the Complex Systems group (CoSIN3) at the UOC s Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) María José Palazzi and Albert Solé professor at the Faculty of Computer Science, Multimedia and Telecommunications? , led by Javier Borge, have participated in the design of an ecology-inspired mathematical model that makes it possible to break down and predict interaction patterns in a system as complex as the Twitter social network.

If you re a fan of spy movies, you ve probably come across scenes where the intelligence agents try to identify or detect a perpetrator using some sophisticated image enhancement technology on surveillance camera images. While the idea behind surveillance cameras and object detection is the same in real life, unlike in movies, there is often a trade-off between the camera s field-of-view and its resolution.

NEW YORK, May 12, 2021 A new Computer Aided Design (CAD) platform for whole genome design is being launched by two pioneers in the world of biotech:
Genome Project-write (GP-write) and
Twist Bioscience
(NASDAQ: TWST). The technology is expected to open up new frontiers in genome research with real world applications to advance development of therapeutics and solutions for environmental health.
The CAD technology will be an important development along the path to more facile writing of genomes, by eliminating a host of barriers that hinder genome design. Current platforms can be limited to small-scale changes in bacterial systems. The GP-write CAD will allow scientists to scale to other species with larger genomes. It will also automate workflows to enable collaborative efforts critical for scale-up from designing plasmids (kilobases) to whole chromosomes (megabases) across entire genomes (gigabases).
