Segmenting memory colours

Sabine Süsstrunk, Francisco Estrada

Memory colours refer to the colour of specific image classes that have the essential attribute of being perceived in a consistent manner by human observers. In colour correction or rendering tasks, this consistency implies that they have to be faithfully r ...

On Broadcast with a Common Message over Networks

Satish Babu Korada, Dinkar Vasudevan

We consider the following communication problem over a directed graph. A source node wants to transmit a common message to a set of receiver nodes along with a private message to each of the receivers. We show a class of networks for which the achievable r ...

Gold(III) compounds as anticancer agents: Relevance of gold-protein interactions for their mechanism of action

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger, Angela Casini

Gold(III) compds. constitute an emerging class of biol. active substances, of special interest as potential anticancer agents. During the past decade a no. of structurally diverse gold(III) complexes were reported to be acceptably stable under physiol.-lik ...

Influence of sediment settling velocity on mechanistic soil erosion modeling

David Andrew Barry, Marc Parlange

We report on a series of soil erosion experiments performed on the 2-m x 6-m EPFL erosion flume. Total sediment concentrations and the concentrations of seven size fractions (1000 mm) were measured during 1 ...

Redescending M-estimators

Stephan Morgenthaler

in finite sample studies redescending M-estimators outperform bounded M-estimators (see for example, Andrews et al. [1972. Robust Estimates of Location. Princeton University Press, Princeton]). Even though redescenders arise naturally out of the maximum li ...

Numerical Simulation of a Class of PDAEs with a Separation of Time Scales

Benoît Chachuat

Problems that exhibit multiple time scales arise naturally in many scientific and engineering fields. For transient, distributed process systems, the corresponding models consist of partial differential equations (PDEs), possibly coupled to ordinary differ ...

From e-government to e-governance: implications for technology management

Matthias Finger, Pierre Rossel

Our paper draws upon concrete research cases to show: firstly, how the approach, the perspective and the representational framework of eGovernment initiatives influence the nature of the changes taking place and, as too many problems remain unaddressed, wh ...

Raptor Codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

LT-codes are a new class of codes introduced by Luby for the purpose of scalable and fault-tolerant distribution of data over computer networks. In this paper, we introduce Raptor codes, an extension of LT-codes with linear time encoding and decoding. We w ...

System ductility and redundancy of FRP beam structures with ductile adhesive joints

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest

This paper reports on a structural concept for engineering structures composed of FRP components to provide system ductility that compensates for the lack of material ductility inherent to FRP materials. The concept includes the use of redundant structural ...

Antigen discovery: a postgenomic approach to leprosy diagnosis

Stewart Cole

Leprosy is an infectious, neurodegenerative disease of humans caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Despite effective control programs, the incidence of leprosy remains stubbornly high, suggesting that transmission may be more common than expected. The rationale ...
