We analyze the collective behavior of hydrodynamically coupled molecular motors. We show that the local fluxes induced by motor displacement can induce the experimentally observed bidirectional motion of cargoes and vesicles. By means of a mean-field appro ...
This work describes SenseCityVity, an approach to engage and support youth in a city in Mexico as they investigate, document, and reflect upon urban problems through mobile crowdsourcing. SenseCityVity focused on the development of a mobile crowdsourcing p ...
This dissertation focuses on collective forms or organizing that through crowds or communities undertake production or innovation activities. Such organizations deviate from the traditional notions of hierarchy, authority, and control; however, they are st ...
The article identifies and observes critically two emblematic cases of modern utopia of 1920s: Das rote Wien and Das neue Frankfurt. These two architectural experiences correspond to two alternative but complementary spatial and social models, the courtyar ...
In this paper, we provide guidelines for strategically using crowds as part of a crowdsourcing strategy and an open innovation portfolio. We start by defining crowd organisations as sustained through a crowd of loosely coupled and equally aligned agents th ...
Les nombreux défis que représente la transition sociale et écologique vers une société post-croissance constituent des problèmes typiques d’action collective. La littérature récente consacrée à ces derniers met en exergue la notion de système « polycentriq ...
Metallic nanoclusters form a family of novel materials with atomically defined hybrid organic/inorganic structures. Among these materials, clusters containing 44 silver atoms have emerged as one of the most interesting, because of their exceptional electro ...
“The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of eternal youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of the ...
We present a unified framework for understanding human social behaviors in raw image sequences. Our model jointly detects multiple individuals, infers their social actions, and estimates the collective actions with a single feed-forward pass through a neur ...
A robotic fish has been developed to create a mixed bio-hybrid system made up of weakly electric fish and a mobile dummy fish. Weakly electric fish are capable of interacting with each other via sequences of self-generated electric signals during electroco ...
