Real-time navigating crowds: Scalable simulation and rendering

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Barbara Yersin

This paper introduces a framework for real-time simulation and rendering of crowds navigating in a virtual environment. The solution first consists in a specific environment preprocessing technique giving rise to navigation graphs, which are then used by t ...

Theory of non-linear spike-time-dependent plasticity

Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister

A fascinating property of the brain is its ability to continuously evolve and adapt to a constantly changing environment. This ability to change over time, called plasticity, is mainly implemented at the level of the connections between neurons (i.e. the s ...

Reviving the Roman Odeon of Aphrodisias: Dynamic Animation and Variety Control of Crowds in Virtual Heritage

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Pablo Stanislaw De Heras Ciechomski, Sébastien Schertenleib

In this paper we propose a new method for rendering crowds of virtual humans with dynamicallydeformed skeletons with levels of detail using two simple caching schemes for animations and geometry. Weshow how the virtual heritage project ERATO pushed for the ...

Ab initio study of charged states of H in amorphous SiO2

Alfredo Pasquarello

We carried out an ab initio investigation of the charged states of hydrogen in amorphous SiO2 using a previously generated model structure. We found a large variety of equilibrium configurations as a result of the disordered atomic structure in our model s ...

Atomistic models of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface: structural, electronic and dielectric properties

Alfredo Pasquarello, Angelo Bongiorno

We review the structural, electronic and dielectric properties of atomistic models of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface, which have been purposely designed in order to match a large variety of atomic-scale experimental data. After describing the generation proced ...

Specific Labeling of Cell Surface Proteins with Chemically Diverse Compounds

Horst Vogel, Kai Johnsson, Horst Pick, Nathalie George

The specific and covalent labeling of fusion proteins with synthetic mols. opens up new ways to study protein function in the living cell. Here the authors present a novel method that allows for the specific and exclusive extracellular labeling of proteins ...

A human homolog of yeast est1 associates with telomerase and uncaps chromosome ends when overexpressed

Joachim Lingner, Philipp Bucher

Telomeres protect the eukaryotic chromosome ends from degradation and fusion. They are maintained by the ribonucleoprotein telomerase, the core of which is composed of a reverse transcriptase (TERT) and a RNA subunit. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ...
