Cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) and digital twins (DT) with a data-driven core enable retrospective analyses of acquired data to achieve a pervasive system understanding and can further support prospective operational management in production systems.Cost pressure and environmental compliances sensitize facility operators for energy and re
On Elementary Affective Decisions: To Like Or Not To Like, That Is The Question
Perhaps the most ubiquitous and basic affective decision of daily life is deciding whether we like or dislike something/somebody, or, in terms of psychological emotion theories, whether the object/subject has positive or negative valence.Indeed, people constantly make such liking decisions within a glimpse and, importantly, sometimesoften without e
Gold Nanoparticle-Based Plasmonic Biosensors
One of the emerging technologies in molecular diagnostics of the last two decades is the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for biosensors.AuNPs can be functionalized with various biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or antibodies, to recognize and bind to specific targets.AuNPs present unique optical properties, such as their distinctive plasmonic b
