The integration of ICT in education entails several challenges: the first, to diagnose, at a global level, how this process is being carried out in different educational fields. Likewise, another challenge is to analyze ...

This edition covers the embryology since the preparation of fertilizing cells in spermatogenesis and the menstrual cycle; fertilization and implantation; including the first weeks of development, placenta development, ba...

Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira recognizes the pivotal role of integrating new technologies into its academic procedures, thereby determining its relevance in the societal dynamics that directly influence educational...

The city is perhaps the most complex of all human constructs. In the 21st century when cities are bigger than ever, and the majority of the world’s population now live in urban areas, the need for research into this co...

Owing to enormous growth in both data storage and the demand for high-performance computing, there has been a major effort to integrate telecom networks on-chip. Silicon photonics is an ideal candidate, thanks to the mat...

Atom-based technologies have played a central role in both fundamental research and application-driven developments. For example, devices such as atomic clocks and magnetometers are essential for precision time-keeping, ...

Sources of single photons are one of the key building blocks for quantum photonic technologies such as quantum secure communication and powerful quantum computing. To bring the proof-of-principle demonstration of these t...

As Moore’s law approaches its physical limits, the semiconductor industry has begun to focus on improving I/O density and power efficiency through 2.5D/3D packaging. Heterogeneous integration, which combines integrated...

Optical image sensors are 2D arrays of pixels that integrate semiconductor photodiodes and field effect transistors for efficient photon conversion and processing of generated electrons. With technological advancements a...

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are an ideal platform for chip-scale computation and communication. To date, the integration density remains an outstanding problem that limits the further development of PIC-based pho...

Silicon photonics has gained great success mainly due to the promise of realizing compact devices in high volume through the low-cost foundry model. It is burgeoning from laboratory research into commercial production en...

The coupling between the electromagnetic field and the motional degrees of freedom of a nanoscale object offers an interesting control-knob for light–matter interaction. However, this interaction is rather weak so, in ...

The research in the field of optical biosensors is continuously expanding, thanks both to the introduction of brand new technologies and the ingenious use of established methods. A new awareness on the potential societal...

Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management app...
