Information that's nice to have on the user page:
- discipline you're studying
- email adress
- instant messenger or webphone or whatever contact information
- photo (we want to make some at the meeting at 7/20)
Bear in mind that this stuff is all made public.
Informal meeting
After today`s lab there was the idea of an informal meeting at monday for doing some brainstorming. Would this fit for everyone? What time would fit best? For further discussion we may use the discussion page.
I think to get an idea when people can come we should make a list here (easier than the other one, just enter a line for you and make marks where you can come):
Monday 17th July Names 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Availability chart
Sorry Alexandra, the table I made is terrible to edit, so I think we can use that: [http://www.doodle.ch/dpstPwMnysUQ]
The meaning of the marks is inverted!! (to save clicking work on your part I hope ;))
Project Ideas
Last years brainstorming: Previous_Ideas
Cellular automata
- Game of Life
- propagate a pulse in culture
- Predator-prey-veggies (or just predator-prey)
State representation:
- switches and reporters
- cell life (self destruct and regenerate)
Stepping could be done by
- an exogenious signal, so each step is a process converging to a steady state (avoid problem of developing a dynamic system)
- generations
- oscillating system in cells
(Normally cellular automata are stepped synchronously, but it's often not really necessary)
Logic
- A kind of a simple ALU: at least two simple logic functions and a multiplexer
- An implementation of a full-adder: 1-bit adder with carry
Can't find any logic gates except inverters in the registry, looks interesting.
Sensing
- acousic
- pressure
- electric
- magnetic
- light (BB exists[http://partsregistry.org/Featured_Parts:Light_Sensor])
- temperature
- chemicals
- frequency discrimination
- synchronize oscillations among cells (or have emergent synchronous oscillations in the culture)
Agent systems
- fire squad: get bacteria to find a reaction on the plate and extinguish it
- bacteria sensing high atmoshpere and switching to produce ozon (to refill ozon holes)
Limitations to lift
- E. coli can't move (Seems Penn state had moving E. Coli last year: Penn_StateProjectDes)
- need to control growth to stabilize cell culture structures if they are desired
