Spatial distribution of mammography adherence in a Swiss urban population and its association with socioeconomic status

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Rebecca Himsl

Purpose: Local physical and social environment has a defining influence on individual behaviour and health-related outcomes. However, it remains undetermined if its impact is independent of individual socioeconomic status. In this study, we evaluated the s ...

Simplifying Development and Management of Software-Defined Networks

Peter Peresini

Computer networks are an important part of our life. Yet, they are traditionally hard to manage and operate. The recent shift to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promised to change the way in which the networks are run by their operators. However, SDN ...

Automated Classification of Data Races Under Both Strong and Weak Memory Models

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Data races are one of the main causes of concurrency problems in multithreaded programs. Whether all data races are bad, or some are harmful and others are harmless, is still the subject of vigorous scientific debate [Narayanasamy et al. 2007; Boehm 2012]. ...

Techniques for Detection, Root Cause Diagnosis, and Classification of In-Production Concurrency Bugs

Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

Concurrency bugs are at the heart of some of the worst bugs that plague software. Concurrency bugs slow down software development because it can take weeks or even months before developers can identify and fix them. In-production detection, root cause ...

Towards the Identification of Disease Signatures

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Manolis Karpathiotakis

The identification of biological signatures of diseases will enable the development of new biologically grounded classifications of brain diseases, leading to a new systematic understanding of their causes, and new diagnostic tools. In this paper we presen ...

Genetic consequences of population expansions and contractions in the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) since the Late Pleistocene

Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Pierre Joly

Over the past two decades, an increasing amount of phylogeographic work has substantially improved our understanding of African biogeography, in particular the role played by Pleistocene pluvial-drought cycles on terrestrial vertebrates. However, still lit ...

The Interplay Between Host Genetic Variation, Viral Replication, and Microbial Translocation in Untreated HIV-Infected Individuals

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha

Systemic immune activation, a major determinant of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease progression, is the result of a complex interplay between viral replication, dysregulation of the immune system, and microbial translocation due to gut mucosal da ...

Anatomical Priors to improve Global Tractography

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandro Daducci, Alia Lemkaddem

The main assumption of fiber-tracking algorithms is that fiber trajectories are represented by paths of highest diffusion, which is usually accomplished by following the principal diffusion directions in every voxel. The state-of-the-art approaches known a ...

Determination of External Forces in Alpine Skiing Using a Differential Global Navigation Satellite System

Julien Chardonnens

In alpine ski racing the relationships between skier kinetics and kinematics and their effect on performance and injury-related aspects are not well understood. There is currently no validated system to determine all external forces simultaneously acting o ...
