Response to "Critical Assessment of the Evidence for Striped Nanoparticles"

Francesco Stellacci, Quy Ong Khac

Stirling et al., (10.1371/journal.pone.0108482) presented an analysis on some of our publications on the formation of stripe-like domains on mixed-ligand coated gold nanoparticles. The authors shed doubts on some of our results however no valid argument is ...

Synthesizing Java Expressions from Free-Form Queries

Viktor Kuncak, Tihomir Gvero

We present a new code assistance tool for integrated development environments. Our system accepts as input free-form queries containing a mixture of English and Java, and produces Java code expressions that take the query into account and respect syntax, t ...

Qual o sentido da Geografia Cultural ?

Jacques Lévy

Cultural Recebido em 18 de junho de 2015 Aprovado em 19 de junho de 2015 geography proposes an apparently innovative project but it actually raises a dual epistemo- logical issue. First of all, is it a new field inside geography or a school of thought that ...

Systematic errors of skin-friction measurements by oil-film interferometry

Peter Monkewitz, Jean-Daniel Rüedi

In recent years, the independent measurement of wall shear stress with oil-film or oil-drop interferometry has become a cornerstone of turbulent-boundary-layer research as many arguments depend critically on a precise knowledge of the skin friction tau(w)* ...

Transparency Instead of Neutrality

Adrian Perrig, Christos Pappas

The technical community has so far defined network neutrality in terms of specific mechanisms, e.g., policing or shaping. We argue that these definitions are problematic: according to them, a non-neutral network may be preferable (for all users) to a neutr ...

Supramenable groups

Julian Kellerhals

In this thesis we investigate the class of supramenable groups. In the first part we give an overview of some analogous characterizations of amenable and supramenable groups. This is followed by the study of two properties close to supramenability: megamen ...

Ecomorphodynamic conditions for the emergence of river anabranching patterns

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Paolo d'Odorico

The appearance of the regular vegetated ridge patterns observed in some ephemeral rivers of semi-arid regions (Nanson, Tooth, & Knigthon 2002) has previously been explained by hydraulic arguments (optimization of the bed load transport capacity, see Huang ...

Benchmarking Image-Processing Algorithms for Biomicroscopy: Reference Datasets and Perspectives

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Hagay Kirshner, Stamatios Lefkimmiatis

As the field of bioimage informatics matures, the issue of the validation of image reconstruction algorithms and the definition of proper performance criteria becomes more pressing. In this work, we discuss benchmarking aspects of fluorescence microscopy q ...

Modeling the hydrologic response of snow-dominated Alpine catchments: the role of sunlight exposure

Pierfrancesco Da Ronco

This work investigated how important the explicit modeling of sunlight exposure (aspect, slope) is for discharge simulation in a high alpine catchment. The used spatially-explicit hydrological model includes a simple snow accumulation and melt routine (bas ...

Nondispersive solutions to the $L^2$-critical half-wave equation

Joachim Krieger

We consider the focusing

where

D

denotes the first-order fractional derivative. Standard arguments show that there is a critical threshold
