Communication-based Swarming for Flying Robots
Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Severin Leven
Swarms of flying robots can be used in disaster areas to autonomously create communication networks for rescuers and victims. Flying robots have the advantage of rapidly overcoming difficult terrain and providing unobstructed wireless communication. To all ...
2010Evolving olfactory systems on the fly
The detection of odour stimuli in the environment is universally important for primal behaviours such as feeding, mating, kin interactions and escape responses. Given the ubiquity of many airborne chemical signals and the similar organisation of animal olf ...
2010Ant-based Swarming with Positionless Micro Air Vehicles for Communication Relay
Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Laurent Winkler
Swarming without positioning information is interesting in application- oriented systems because it alleviates the need for sensors which are dependent on the environment, expensive in terms of energy, cost, size and weight, or unusable at useful ranges fo ...
2008Endocrine disruption in soil invertebrates
In the past years, it has been observed that some compounds present in our environment can disturb the reproduction and development of animals like fishes, birds, or reptiles by interfering with their endocrine system. Indeed, these endocrine disrupting co ...
EPFL2006Internal motions in biomolecules studied by NMR spectroscopy
Since many biological processes occur on the μs to ms time scale, internal dynamics on that time scale is believed to be related to biological functionality. The characterization of internal dynamics is thus an important issue to improve our understanding ...
EPFL2006Paracrine signaling through the epithelial estrogen receptor alpha is required for proliferation and morphogenesis in the mammary gland
Estradiol is a major regulator of postnatal mammary gland development and thought to exert its effects through estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) expressed in the mammary gland stroma and epithelium. Previous studies, however, were confounded by the use of ...

2005Effects of Protein-pheromone Complexation on Correlated Chemical Shift Modulations
Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Julien Wist, Chiara Perazzolo
Major urinary protein (MUP) is a pheromone-carrying protein of the lipocalin family. Previous studies by isothermal titrn. calorimetry (ITC) show that the affinity of MUP for the pheromone 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (IBMP) is mainly driven by enthalpy, w ...
Kluwer Academic Publishers, Springer2005MAP kinase signaling induces nuclear reorganization in budding yeast
BACKGROUND: During the mating pheromone response in budding yeast, activation of a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) cascade results in well-characterized changes in cytoskeletal organization and gene expression. Spatial reorganization of genes ...
2001Olfaction in birds: differential embryonic expression of nine putative odorant receptor genes in the avian olfactory system
We have isolated nine putative odorant receptor genes from the chick, named COR1 to COR9, that belong to the large multigene family of olfactory G protein-coupled receptors found in the fish, rat, mouse, dog, and human. By combining genomic DNA blot analys ...
