Geometry-aware Tracking of Manipulability Ellipsoids

Sylvain Calinon, Noémie Laure Gwendoline Jaquier

Body posture can greatly influence human performance when carrying out manipulation tasks. Adopting an appropriate pose helps us regulate our motion and strengthen our capability to achieve a given task. This effect is also observed in robotic manipulation ...

Secure numerical and logical multi party operations

Bin Lu

We derive algorithms for efficient secure numerical and logical operations in the semi-honest model ensuring statistical or perfect security for secure multi-party computation (MPC). To derive our algorithms for trigonometric functions, we use basic mathem ...

A metacommunity model for the spread of proliferative kidney disease in stream networks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) affects freshwater salmonid populations in temperate European and North-American rivers. It is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans as intermediate hosts. ...

Analytical transport network theory to guide the design of 3-D microstructural networks in energy materials: Part 1. Flow without reactions

Arata Nakajo

We present a fully analytical, heuristic model the "Analytical Transport Network Model" for steady-state, diffusive, potential flow through a 3-D network. Employing a combination of graph theory, linear algebra, and geometry, the model explicitly relates a ...

Mathematical analysis of plasmonic nanoparticles: the scalar case

Pierre Robert Maurice Millien

Localized surface plasmons are charge density oscillations confined to metallic nanoparticles. Excitation of localized surface plasmons by an electromagnetic field at an incident wavelength where resonance occurs results in a strong light scattering and an ...

Model-Driven Understanding of Palmitoylation Dynamics: Regulated Acylation of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Chaperone Calnexin

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Georgios Savoglidis, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Tiziano Dallavilla

Cellular functions are largely regulated by reversible post-translational modifications of proteins which act as switches. Amongst these, S-palmitoylation is unique in that it confers hydrophobicity. Due to technical difficulties, the understanding of this ...
