The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

Language Model Decoding as Likelihood–Utility Alignment

Boi Faltings, Robert West, Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard, Martin Josifoski, Valentin Hartmann, Debjit Paul, Jiheng Wei, Frano Rajic

A critical component of a successful language generation pipeline is the decoding algorithm. However, the general principles that should guide the choice of a decoding algorithm re- main unclear. Previous works only compare decoding algorithms in narrow sc ...

A taxonomy of surprise definitions

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi

Surprising events trigger measurable brain activity and influence human behavior by affecting learning, memory, and decision-making. Currently there is, however, no consensus on the definition of surprise. Here we identify 18 mathematical definitions of su ...

Assessment of abundance and community composition of benthic macroinvertebrates: recommendations for improved sampling, fixation and extraction of oligochaetes

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Régis Lionel Vivien

For several decades, the abundance and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates have been studied to assess the biological quality of aquatic ecosystems. Procedures aiming at studying the whole of macroinvertebrate communities were mainly designed ...

High-throughput DNA barcoding of oligochaetes for abundance-based indices to assess the biological quality of sediments in streams and lakes

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Régis Lionel Vivien

Aquatic oligochaete communities are valuable indicators of the biological quality of sediments in streams and lakes, but identification of specimens to the species level based on morphological features requires solid expertise in taxonomy and is possible o ...

Physical Side-Channel Attacks and Covert Communication on FPGAs: A Survey

Mirjana Stojilovic, Seyedeh Sharareh Mirzargar

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are, like CPUs, susceptible to side-channel information leakage and covert communication. The malleability of FPGAs enables users to create and control physical effects, and sense and measure the consequences. With FP ...

Jumping dynamics of aquatic animals

Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot

Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions r ...

Strain-level diversity drives alternative community types in millimetre-scale granular biofilms

Christof Holliger

Microbial communities are often highly diverse in their composition, both at a coarse-grained taxonomic level, such as genus, and at a highly resolved level, such as strains, within species. This variability can be driven by either extrinsic factors such a ...

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Enrique Lara

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...
