Uncanny Titan, Prebiotic Mysteries
Discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655, Titan remained very difficult for astronomers to study in depth for more than three centuries, until the 2004 arrival of the Cassini-Huygens mission at the Saturn system and the amazing Huygens landing on 14 January 2005. Even though Titan has unveiled essential clues about its recent activity, others will be necessary to understand better its atmospheric cycle, as well as its potential role in the formation of organic materials essential to the appearance of the building blocks of life.
Pervasive Mobile Healthcare System Based on Cloud Computing
Before the 20th century, medical care was delivered at home, through visits from mobile family physicians who packed the necessary medical technology into a doctor’s bag. Nowadays, the lack of hospitals in rural and underserved areas, the exponential complexity of lifestyle and the increasing of chronic diseases make healthcare a serious issue. Driven by quality and cost metrics, the healthcare systems have to change radically in the near future from current healthcare professional-centric systems to distributed networked and mobile healthcare systems. In this movement, the leading part is attributed to the pervasive technologies defined in this context as « healthcare to anyone, anytime, and anywhere ». Pervasive healthcare in contrast tries to change the healthcare delivery model: from doctor-centric to patient-centric, from acute reactive to continuous preventive, from sampling to monitoring. One central challenge of a pervasive healthcare system is how to provide better healthcare services to people using limited financial and human resources
