Article Synopsis
- - The paper discusses a new sensor system, using magnetic microwires in a cement material, designed to weigh vehicles at customs ports by being embedded in the pavement before concrete sets.
- - Researchers aim to see if these sensors can effectively monitor stress in concrete by comparing their performance against traditional gauge sensors.
- - Findings show that the new sensors can be tailored for specific applications, potentially lowering production costs and improving performance without disrupting the concrete's stress state.
People interact with each other in many levels of attention, intention and meaning. This Interaction Continuum is used daily to deal with different contexts, adapting the interaction to communication needs and available resources. Nevertheless, computer-supported interaction has mainly focused on the most direct, explicit and intrusive types of human to human Interaction such as phone calls, emails, or video conferences.

In this retrospective analysis, genotypic resistance profiles were analysed in 24 patients who switched treatment to abacavir (ABV), efavirenz (EFV), and either a NRTI or a PI at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. At baseline, 71% of patients harboured at least one resistance mutation in the protease gene.
