Identification of the primary processes that lead to the drop in divertor target ion current at detachment in TCV

Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing

Using SOLPS-ITER, we model a TCV conventional divertor discharge density ramp to understand the role of various processes in the loss of target ion current. We find that recombination is not a strong contributor to the rollover of the target ion current at ...

Role of SEC62 in ER maintenance: A link with ER stress tolerance in SEC62-overexpressing tumors?

Maurizio Molinari

Amplification of the candidate oncogene TLOC1/SEC62 in tumors correlates with reduced patient survival. The recently reported role of SEC62 as an autophagy receptor that controls endoplasmic reticulum (ER) size and function might open new scenarios for und ...

The structural role of the core literature in history

Giovanni Colavizza

The intellectual landscapes of the humanities are mostly uncharted territory. Little is known on the ways published research of humanist scholars defines areas of intellectual activity. An open question relates to the structural role of core literature: hi ...

Synergistic but independent: The role of corticospinal and alternate motor fibers for residual motor output after stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Background: Brain imaging has shown that not only the cortico-spinal tract (CST), but also alternate corticofugal motor fibers (aMF), such as the cortico-rubro-spinal and cortico-reticulo-spinal tract, influence residual motor output after stroke. So far, ...

The role of one-shot learning in #TheDress

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

#TheDress is remarkable in two aspects. First, there is a bimodal split of the population in the perception of the dress's colors (white/gold vs. black/blue). Second, whereas interobserver variance is high, intra-observer variance is low, i. e., the percep ...

Generalized Pickands constants and stationary max-stable processes

Sebastian Engelke

Pickands constants play a crucial role in the asymptotic theory of Gaussian processes. They are commonly defined as the limits of a sequence of expectations involving fractional Brownian motions and, as such, their exact value is often unknown. Recently, D ...

On the plausibility of socioeconomic mortality estimates derived from linked data: a demographic approach

Mathias Lerch

Reliable estimates of mortality according to socioeconomic status play a crucial role in informing the policy debate about social inequality, social cohesion, and exclusion as well as about the reform of pension systems. Linked mortality data have become a ...

Visual Augmentation of Deictic Gestures in MOOC Videos

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma

We present an eye-tracking study to compare different modalities for visual augmentations of the teacher’s explicit deictic gestures on a video lecture. We compared three visualizations: 1) hand gestures with a pointer, 2) gaze overlay, and 3) no-augmentat ...

Structured amplitude and phase fields behind microstructures: The quest for high contrast modulation at proximity

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam, Johana Bernasconi

Microstructures can be used to realize repetitive and singular high contrast features at different distances behind a structure. For practical applications, the amplitude field needs to be considered. To realize defined amplitude features at long distances ...
