The BioWeb is the connotation for a Computer network network of web enabled biological devices e.g. trees , plants , and flowers which extends an internet of things to the Internet of Living Things of natural Sensory perception sensory devices. The BioWeb devices give insights to real time ecological data and feedback to changes in the Natural environment environment . The biodiversity of today is one giant ecological mesh network of information exchange , and a resource World population humanity should be able to access for a better understanding of the state of our global ecology. Technology The BioWeb information technologies emerge from the interdisciplinarity interdisciplinary fields of biotechnology and nanotechnology . The devices for reading individual ecological systems can be either wireless transmitters implemented into the organic cell structure of seeds or external inserted network nodes with the ability to read information and wirelessly transmit the information to the Internet or network . For example, the botanicalls system transmits information obtained from the devices to twitter which then forwards the messages on via text message.

In 2006 it merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers IEE to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology IET . Before the merger the IIE had approximately 40,000 members. The IET is now the second largest engineering society in the world next to the IEEE . The IET has the authority to establish professional registration of engineers Chartered Engineer or Incorporated Engineer through the Engineering Council. The IEEE does not have the authority to replicate the registration process in its complementary environment. History The IIE traces its heritage to the Vulcanic Society that was founded in 1884. This society became the Junior Institution of Engineers in 1902, which became the Institution of General Technician Engineers in 1970 and the Institute of Mechanical and General Technician Engineers IMGTechE in 1976. In 1982 the IMGTechE and Institution of Technician Engineers in Mechanical Engineering ITEME merged to form the Institution of Mechanical Incorporated Engineers IMechIE The Institution of Electrical and Electronic Incorporated Engineers IEEIE and the Society of Electronic and Radio Technicians SERT merged in 1990 to form the Institution of Electronics and Electrical Incorporated Engineers IEEIE .

History The magazine was established in 1949 by several scientists, including Jos Reis , the dean of popularization of science in Brazil . He was its editor in chief for more than 30 years. Initially the magazine was conceived to be SBPC s flagship publication of original scientific articles, following the model of Science journal Science , published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science . The journal remained faithful to this concept until the 1990s, when it became clear that Brazilian scientists of high rank were not generally favouring the journal as a significant publication vehicle for their original research. Its editorial philosophy was then changed to a magazine of general debate on issues of science and technology. A brief attempt at publishing in English only was foiled and the magazine reverted to Portuguese as its publication language. Structure and aims The journal s stated aims are To act in the diffusion and scientific spreading and also the scene of the great cultural questions of our time, identifying trends and approaching proper subjects of the knowledge and the dynamics of its cultural, scientific and technological transformations. .

The editorial mission noted that the journal was particularly committed to publishing articles that view technology transfer defined very broadly to include hardware, software, processes, and organizational change as a complex social process, considering such issues as the perspectives of non Western users, consumers, and original producers of transferred technology the social and ethical implications of transfer activities or studies of failures and successes alike. ... more details
Neuroergonomics is the application of neuroscience to ergonomics . Traditional ergonomic studies have relied largely on psychological explanations of issues of human factors , such as safety, response time, and repetitive stress injuries. Neuroergonomics, by contrast, relies on biological explanations. Neuroergonomics has two major aims to use existing and emerging knowledge of human performance and brain function to design such systems for safer and more efficient operation, and to advance understanding of human brain function in relation to cognitive processes and performance in real world tasks. To meet these goals, neuroergonomics combines two disciplines neuroscience, the study of brain function, and human factors, the study of how to match technology with the capabilities and limitations of people so they can work effectively and safely. The goal of merging these two fields is to use the startling discoveries of human brain and physiological functioning both to inform the design of technologies in the workplace and home, and to provide new training methods that enhance performance, expand capabilities, and optimize the fit between people and technology. Research in the area of neuroergonomics has blossomed in recent years with the emergence of noninvasive techniques for monitoring human brain function that can be used to study various aspects of human behavior in relation to technology and work, including mental workload, visual attention, working memory, motor control, human automation interaction, and adaptive automation. Consequently, this interdisciplinarity interdisciplinary field is concerned with investigations of the nervous system neural bases of human perception , cognition , and performance in relation to systems and technologies in the real life real world for example, in the use of computer s and various other machines at home or in the workplace, and in operating vehicles such as aircraft, cars, trains, and ships.

Energy engineering is a broad field of engineering dealing with efficient energy use energy efficiency , energy services , facility management , plant engineering, environmental compliance and alternative energy technologies. Domain of Energy Engineering expertise combines selective subjects from the fields Chemical Engineering Chemical , Mechanical Engineering Mechanical and Electrical Engineering . It is an Interdisciplinarity interdisciplinary program which has relativity with electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering. Energy minimization is the purpose of this growing discipline. Often applied to building design, heavy consideration is given to HVAC , lighting , refrigeration , to both reduce energy loads and increase efficiency of current systems. Energy Engineering is increasingly seen as a major step forward in meeting Carbon neutrality carbon reduction targets . Energy Technology refers to the knowledge, skills, and equipment required for the production, conversion, transference, distribution, and utilization of energy. This leads to the mastering of technology based on the laws of nature, as a result of which different forms of energy can be used to serve the needs of mankind in such a way that nature is spared and the economic resources of society are taken into consideration.
