Highly Diverse and Seasonally Dynamic Protist Community in a Pristine Peat Bog

Culture-independent molecular methods based on the amplification, cloning and sequencing of small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes (SSU rDNAs) are powerful tools to study the diversity of microorganisms. Despite so, the eukaryotic microbial diversity of many ec ...

The Dynamics of Adapting Neurons

Richard Naud

How do neurons dynamically encode and treat information? Each neuron communicates with its distinctive language made of long silences intermitted by occasional spikes. The spikes are prompted by the pooled effect of a population of pre-synaptic neurons. To ...

Photoelectron spectromicroscopy and spectronanoscopy at synchrotrons: Growing impact on life sciences and materials science

Giorgio Margaritondo

We review the historical and recent development of experimental techniques that are based on the combination of photoemission spectroscopy and high lateral resolution. The discussion specifically deals with the essential features of the two main classes of ...

Deformable Surface 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Images

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann

Being able to recover the shape of 3D deformable surfaces from a single video stream would make it possible to field reconstruction systems that run on widely available hardware without requiring specialized devices. However, because many different 3D shap ...

Minimal matter at the large hadron collider

Duccio Pappadopulo, Roberto Franceschini

We classify all possible new U(1)(Y) circle times SU(2)(L) circle times SU(3)(c) multiplets that can couple to pairs of SM particles. Assuming that production of such new particles is dominated by their gauge interactions we study their signals at LHC, fin ...

The Theory of Transactional Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka

Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming. This paper is an overview of our recent work on defining a theory of TM. We first present a correctness condition of a TM, ensured by most existing TM implementations. Then, we d ...

Specification, estimation and validation of a pedestrian walking behavior model

Michel Bierlaire, Gianluca Antonini, Javier Cruz Mota, Thomas Robin

We propose and validate a model for pedestrian walking behavior, based on discrete choice modeling. Two main types of behavior are identified: unconstrained and constrained. By unconstrained, we refer to behavior patterns which are independent from other i ...

The Low-Mass Initial Mass Function In The 30 Doradus Starburst Cluster

Marilyne Andersen, Georges Meylan

We present deep Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS 2 F160W band observations of the central 56 '' x 57 '' (14 pc x 14.25 pc) region around R136 in the starburst cluster 30Dor (NGC 2070) located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our aim is to derive the stellar ini ...

Structural variability of edge dislocations in a SrTiO(3) low-angle [001] tilt grain boundary

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Using a spherical aberration (Cs)-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), we Investigated a 6 degrees low-angle [001] tilt grain boundary in SrTiO(3). The enhanced spatial resolution of the a ...

Quantification of in vivo short echo-time proton magnetic resonance spectra at 14.1 T using two different approaches of modelling the macromolecule spectrum

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu

Reliable quantification of the macromolecule signals in short echo-time H-1 MRS spectra is particularly important at high magnetic fields for an accurate quantification of metabolite concentrations (the neurochemical profile) due to effectively increased s ...
