New synthetic route toward polyketide-like macrolides

New pathways toward the synthesis of polyketide-like macrolides have been developed through the functionalization of long chain polyolic fragments readily obtained from 3,3'-methylenebis{[6-(benzyloxy)methoxy]cyclohept-3-en-1-ol} derivatives 6. This synthe ...

Asymmetric synthesis of the polyol subunit of the polyene macrolide antibiotic RK-397

Pierre Vogel, Sandrine Gerber, Kai Torsten Meilert

A total asymmetric synthesis of the polyol subunit of the polyene macrolide antibiotic RK-397 was developed through the stereoselective functionalization of (1R,1’S,6S,6’R)-3,3’-methylenebis(cyclohept-3-ene-1,6-diol). The pathway generates a large variety ...

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM): Fast and robust 3D measurements with interferometric resolution for industrial inspection

Christian Depeursinge, Etienne Cuche, Nicolas Aspert, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Stéphane Bourquin

The use of numerical procedure at a level never reach so far in optical imaging enables DHM to overcome two cumbersome alignment procedures of interferometric microscopes: (1) fine focus of the sample, and (2) sample tilt adjustment. In addition the techno ...

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 ...

A logarithmic-time solution to the point location problem for parametric linear programming

Colin Neil Jones

The optimiser of a (multi) parametric linear program (pLP) is a piecewise affine function defined over a polyhedral subdivision of the set of feasible states. Once this affine function has been pre-calculated, the optimal solution can be computed for a par ...

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 ...
