Today, operational managers are experiencing difficulties in selecting the software that best suits their increasing number of requirements. These decision makers need to clarify what their needs are, what these packages offer and which software packages b ...
Centrioles are critical for the formation of centrosomes, cilia and flagella in eukaryotes. They are thought to assemble around a nine-fold symmetric cartwheel structure established by SAS-6 proteins. Here, we have engineered Chlamydomonas reinhardtii SAS- ...
A new team of researchers at EPFL is taking an 'anti-disciplinary' approach to creating optical devices. These devices take advantage of the synergy in tuning both nano- and bio-material properties, coupling 'the advantages of two growing, albeit tradition ...
Working in groups and managing projects are important professional skills for engineers, and there is a growing demand to teach and assess such skills. But what should be taught and when? Tuckman’s famous “stages of development of performing groups” provid ...
Legged robots come in a range of sizes and capabilities. By combining these robots into heterogeneous teams, joint locomotion and perception tasks can be achieved by utilizing the diversified features of each robot. In this work we present a framework for ...
The aim of this work is to present an approach that can help to characterize teams’ and players’ tactical behavior using two techniques to aid handball coaches to assess tactical procedures when using spatial measures derived from players position data. Re ...
Research summary: This article examines the effects of an R&D team's composition on its performance outcomes in hypercompetition. The fundamental feature of firms in hypercompetitive settings is that they are constantly challenged to improve their competit ...
Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...
