No Scope for Social Modulation of Steroid Levels in a Year-Round Territorial Damselfish

Katarina Damjanovic

Both latitude and mating system have been proposed to shape relationships between steroid hormone levels and social behavior. Recently it has been postulated that species with long lasting non-seasonal territorial behavior have low androgen responsiveness. ...

Cavity optomechanics

Tobias Kippenberg

The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review covers the basics of optical cavities and mechanical resonators, their mutual opt ...

Sparse regularization for fiber ODF reconstruction: from the suboptimality of $\ell_2$ and $\ell_1$ priors to $\ell_0$

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Yves Wiaux, Alessandro Daducci

Diffusion MRI is a well established imaging modality providing a powerful way to probe the structure of the white matter non-invasively. Despite its potential, the intrinsic long scan times of these sequences have hampered their use in clinical practice. F ...

Local Barycentric Coordinates

Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng

Barycentric coordinates yield a powerful and yet simple paradigm to interpolate data values on polyhedral domains. They represent interior points of the domain as an affine combination of a set of control points, defining an interpolation scheme for any fu ...

Surface wave dynamics in orbital shaken cylindrical containers

Florian Maria Wurm, Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Matthieu Dreyer, Stéphanie Tissot, Martino Reclari

Be it to aerate a glass of wine before tasting, to accelerate a chemical reaction, or to cultivate cells in suspension, the “swirling” (or orbital shaking) of a container ensures good mixing and gas exchange in an efficient and simple way. Despite being us ...

Improving Bicyclic Peptide Phage Display and Development of Sortase A Inhibitors

Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo

Bicyclic peptide ligands are promising molecules for the development of new therapeutics. They combine advantages from large protein therapeutics and small molecule drugs. Large combinatorial libraries of bicyclic peptides can be generated and screened by ...

Automatic and Accurate Shadow Detection using Near-Infrared Information

Sabine Süsstrunk, Dominic Rüfenacht

We present a method to automatically detect shadows in a fast and accurate manner by taking advantage of the inherent sensitivity of digital camera sensors to the near-infrared (NIR) part of the spectrum. Dark objects, which confound many shadow detection ...

Word Embeddings through Hellinger PCA

Rémi Philippe Lebret, Ronan Collobert

Word embeddings resulting from neural language models have been shown to be a great asset for a large variety of NLP tasks. However, such architecture might be difficult and time-consuming to train. Instead, we propose to drastically simplify the word embe ...
