Simple, sustainable living

CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2012
The goal of this workshop is to better understand how to design for simpler lifestyles as part of a more holistic understanding of what it means to be sustainable. This goal takes us beyond what has been previously emphasized in sustainable HCI or at the confines of environmental sustainability.

Engineered Living Materials For Sustainability

Chemical Reviews, 2022
Recent advances in synthetic biology and materials science have given rise to a new form of materials, namely engineered living materials (ELMs), which are composed of living matter or cell communities embedded in self-regenerating matrices of their own or artificial scaffolds.

Sustaining living rivers

Hydrobiologia, 2000
Rivers cannot continue to meet society's needs, or the needs of living things, if humans continue to regard river management as a purely political or engineering challenge. The flow of rivers is part of a greater flow, the planet's water cycle, which sustains not only the flow of water but the entire web of life.

The availability of technologies in our living environment offers a new approach to the study of the interaction between people and the built environment in the context of living labs. The living lab scenario can be viewed as a concertino of action as it unfolds, drawing on available material, cognitive, affective and social resources.

Sustained oscillations in living cells

Nature, 1999
Glycolytic oscillations in yeast have been studied for many years simply by adding a glucose pulse to a suspension of cells and measuring the resulting transient oscillations of NADH. Here we show, using a suspension of yeast cells, that living cells can be kept in a well defined oscillating state indefinitely when starved cells, glucose and cyanide ...
