Early design phase evaluation of urban solar potential: Insights from the analysis of six projects

This paper presents the outcome of a study based on the early-stage analysis of six virtual urban-scale designs located in Bern, Switzerland. A preliminary solar potential evaluation methodology is devised, inspired by previous studies, to allow the compar ...

The Silent Period of Evidence Integration in Fast Decision Making

Michael Herzog, Wulfram Gerstner, Johannes Rüter

In a typical experiment on decision making, one out of two possible stimuli is displayed and observers decide which one was presented. Recently, Stanford and colleagues (2010) introduced a new variant of this classical one-stimulus presentation paradigm to ...

Revisiting the spread spectrum effect in radio interferometric imaging: a sparse variant of the w-projection algorithm

Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Jason Douglas McEwen

Next-generation radio interferometric telescopes will exhibit non-coplanar baseline configurations and wide field-of-views, inducing a w-modulation of the sky image, which induces the spread spectrum effect. We revisit the impact of this effect on imaging ...

Where are we in understanding salamander locomotion: biological and robotic perspectives on kinematics

Auke Ijspeert, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

Salamanders have captured the interest of biologists and roboticists for decades because of their ability to locomote in different environments and their resemblance to early representatives of tetrapods. In this article, we review biological and robotic s ...

Multiple Isomers and Protonation Sites of the Phenylalanine/Serine Dimer

Thomas Rizzo, Ulrich Lorenz

Our investigation of the phenylalanine/serine (Phe/Ser) protonated dimer suggests that the intermolecular interaction between the two amino acids is more complex than could have been anticipated from previous studies of similar systems. Isomer-specific inf ...

Discharge Capacity of Piano Key Weirs

Anton Schleiss, Martin Peter Bieri, Marcelo Leite Ribeiro

In recent years, spillway rehabilitation has increased in importance and become the subject of many projects worldwide. One solution for this problem is the implementation of a new type of labyrinth spillway, called Piano Key Weir (PK-Weir ). This is an ex ...

In vivo Structural Imaging of the Cerebellum, the Contribution of Ultra-High Fields

Rolf Gruetter, Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques

This review covers some of the contributions to date from cerebellar imaging studies performed at ultra-high magnetic fields. A short overview of the general advantages and drawbacks of the use of such high field systems for imaging is given. One of the bi ...

Manipulable objects facilitate cross-modal integration in peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Michiel van Elk

Previous studies have shown that tool use often modifies one's peripersonal space - i.e. the space directly surrounding our body. Given our profound experience with manipulable objects (e.g. a toothbrush, a comb or a teapot) in the present study we hypothe ...

Learning to use novel objects: A training study on the acquisition of novel action representations

Michiel van Elk, Christian Pfeiffer

Many studies have suggested that the motor system is organized in a hierarchical fashion, around the prototypical end location associated with using objects. However, most studies supporting the hierarchical view have used well-known actions and objects th ...

A network coding approach to the shipper detection problem

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller, Abdulkadir Karaagaç

This paper experimentally studies the reliability and delay of flooding based multicast protocols for a sniper detection application. In particular using an emulator it studies under which conditions protocols based on network coding deliver performance im ...
