One of the key trends in computing over the past two decades has been increased distribution, both at the processor level, where multi-core architectures are now the norm, and at the system level, where many key services are currently distributed overmulti ...
The trend towards personalized medicine and the long-standing wish to reduce drug consumption and unwanted side effects have been the driving force behind research on drug delivery vehicles that control localization, timing and dose of released cargo. Cont ...
The objective of this work is to develop a numerical framework to perform rapid and reliable simulations for solving parametric problems in domains represented by networks and to extend the classical reduced basis method. Aimed at this scope, we propose tw ...
Commonly used RNA folding programs compute the minimum free energy structure of a sequence under the pseudoknot exclusion constraint. They are based on Zuker's algorithm which runs in time O(n^3). Recently, it has been claimed that RNA folding can be achie ...
Receding horizon control requires the solution of an optimization problem at every sampling instant. We present efficient interior point methods tailored to convex multistage problems, a problem class which most relevant MPC problems with linear dynamics c ...

This review describes some of the fascinating advances in the field of rhodium nanoparticle (NP) catalysis that have emerged in recent years. The examples described are categorized according to the research approach applied, involving either direct enginee ...
One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelated machines; i.e., job j requires time p(ij) if processed on machine i. More t ...
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, we show strong inapproximability results for two natural vertex deletion problems on directed graphs: for any integer k ≥ 2 and arbitrary small ε > 0, the Feedback Vertex Set problem and the DAG Vertex Deletion problem ...
We consider the problem of securely conducting a poll in synchronous dynamic networks equipped with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Whereas previous distributed solutions had a communication cost of O(n^2) in an n nodes system, we present SPP (Secure an ...
