Cerebral Glucose Transport and Homeostasis

Cerebral glucose homeostasis is maintained by the equilibrium between glucose transport across the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), which occurs through facilitative carriers, and glucose consumption mainly initiated by hexokinase phosphorylation. Glucose concen ...

Local Interference Can Accelerate Gossip Algorithms

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In this paper, we show how interference can be exploited to perform gossip computations for average-based consensus over a larger local neighborhood, rather than only pairs of nodes. We use a new channel coding technique called computation coding to comput ...

Is the US outperforming Europe in university technology licensing? A new perspective on the European Paradox

Patrick Gaulé, Annamaria Conti

Europe is perceived to be lagging behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data on European and US technology transfer offices (TTOs), we find that differences in academic research, TTO staff and experience ...

A self-organized, fault-tolerant and scalable replication scheme for cloud storage

Karl Aberer, Nicolas Bonvin

Failures of any type are common in current datacenters, partly due to the higher scales of the data stored. As data scales up, its availability becomes more complex, while different availability levels per application or per data item may be required. In t ...
