Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system to recognize and discriminate a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorant molecules. The molecul ...
Vernayaz, le 7 juillet 2014 ; ; Face à moi, déboulant des hauteurs, la puissante eau de Pissevache se heurte à la roche et chute. A l'inverse, “une tour minérale”, d'une solennelle immobilité, s'élève vers le ciel. Contenue au sein de l'éloquente montagne, ...
Riverbank filtration is an established technique used world-wide to produce clean drinking water in a reliable and cost-efficient way. This practice is, however, facing new challenges posed by climate change, as already observed during past heat waves with ...
This paper presents an analytical approach to the problem of odor plume finding by a network of swarm robotic gas sensors, and finds an optimal configuration for them, given a set of assumptions. Considering cross-wind movement for the swarm, we found that ...

Afin de limiter leur étalement et leur consommation, les villes doivent se concentrer et de se décentraliser. Pour l'Est lausannois dispersé, cela passe par un renforcement des centralités existantes. La qualité patrimoniale et la faible marge de manœuvre ...
Living at high altitude is one of the most difficult challenges that humans had to cope with during their evolution. Whereas several genomic studies have revealed some of the genetic bases of adaptations in Tibetan, Andean, and Ethiopian populations, relat ...
Recombinant antibody phage library technology provides multiple advantages, including that human antibodies can be generated against proteins that are highly conserved between species. We used this technology to isolate and characterize an anti-EphA2 singl ...
Finding the best spatial formation of stationary gas sensors in detection of odor clues is the first step of searching for olfactory targets in a given space using a swarm of robots. Considering no movement for a network of gas sensors, this paper formulat ...
This paper presents a distributed multi-robot system to search for odor sources inside unknown environments. The robots cooperatively explore the whole environment and generate its topological map. The exploration method is a decentralized frontier based a ...
Hand loss is a highly disabling event that markedly affects the quality of life. To achieve a close to natural replacement for the lost hand, the user should be provided with the rich sensations that we naturally perceive when grasping or manipulating an o ...
