Structural Changes in Industrial R&D in Europe and the US

We analyse the structural changes that have characterised the organisation of industrial R&D over the last 25 years. Taking Mowery's work (Industrial and Corporate Change, 2009, 18(1), 1-50) on the US as a starting point, we reconsider the different aspect ...

Coordinated ramp metering for freeway networks - A model-predictive hierarchical control approach

A nonlinear model-predictive hierarchical control approach is presented for coordinated ramp metering of freeway networks. The utilized hierarchical structure consists of three layers: the estimation/prediction layer, the optimization layer and the direct ...

Interpretation of neuronal response properties with simplified neuron models

Laurent Badel

Computational neuroscience is a branch of the neurosciences that attempts to elucidate the principles underlying the operation of neurons with the help of mathematical modeling. In contrast with a number of fields pursuing a tightly related goal, such as m ...

Are the US outperforming Europe in university technology licensing? A new perspective on the European paradox

Patrick Gaulé, Annamaria Conti

Europe is perceived to lag behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data and controlling for standard factors affecting the productivity of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), we find that European TTOs do n ...

A Systemic Approach for Designing Open Innovation Value Networks

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann, Arash Golnam

The past two decades have seen a number of changes to the business and technological environment that have favored the rise of “open” collaborative innovation as alternative to the more traditional ”closed” models. The traditional view of innovation as a c ...

Méthodologie d'évaluation des facteurs de succès et d'échec des stations de traitement des eaux usées et des boues de vidange à grande échelle - A methodology to evaluate succes or failure of full-scale wasterwater and faecal sludge treatment systems

Magalie Diane Bassan

Most of development programs in sanitation encourage the building of infrastructure such as treatment plants that are unfortunately rapidly abandoned for reasons that are not well understood. A methodology to assess these factors for wastewater and faecal ...

Frequency-dependent disynaptic inhibition in the pyramidal network: a ubiquitous pathway in the developing rat neocortex

Henry Markram, Rodrigo de Campos Perin, Thomas Berger, Gilad Silberberg

The general structure of the mammalian neocortex is remarkably similar across different cortical areas. Despite certain cytoarchitectural specializations and deviations from the general blueprint, the principal organization of the neocortex is relatively u ...

Adapt and Adopt: An Experiment in Making Best Practices Adequate in an Organization

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann, Nelly Burrin

So called best practices promise many advantages to organizations that adopt them. Reusing these practices, however, requires their adaptation to the specific context of each organization. This adaptation means that for a specific organization, the practic ...

Simulation modelling of ecological hierarchies in constructive dynamical systems

François Gillet

Organized complexity is a characteristic feature of ecological systems with heterogeneous components interacting at several spatio-temporal scales. The hierarchy theory is a powerful epistemological framework to describe such systems by decomposing them ve ...

Cooperative and redundant roles of VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 signaling in adult lymphangiogenesis

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski, Miriella Carmela Pasquier

Activation of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) by VEGF-C initiates lymphangiogenesis by promoting lymphatic proliferation and migration. However, it is unclear whether VEGFR-3 signaling is required beyond these initial stages ...
