The necessity for authentication of ancient DNA from archaeological artefacts
(St)aging in place: Information and communication technologies for a health-centered agile dwelling unit
As the number of older adults is growing rapidly in the U.S., the need for personalized, innovative, and sustainable Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) solutions is critical to support individuals' social, emotional, and physical health.

Despite these changes, Portland's position is likely to rema…
