A Fast Method for Finding Range of Motion in the Human Joints

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Ehsan Arbabi

Finding the range of motion for the human joints is a popular method for diagnosing joint diseases. By current technology, it is more trustable and easier to find the range of motion by employing computer based models of the human tissues. In this paper we ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ebs1p is a putative ortholog of human Smg7 and promotes nonsense mediated mRNA decay

Joachim Lingner

The Smg proteins Smg5, Smg6 and Smg7 are involved in nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) in metazoans, but no orthologs have been found in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequence alignments reveal that yeast Ebs1p is similar in structure to the ...

Moving targets: Collective decisions and flexible choices in house-hunting ants

Roderich Gross

Many decisions involve a trade-off between commitment and flexibility. We show here that the collective decisions ants make over new nest sites are sometimes sufficiently flexible that the ants can change targets even after an emigration has begun. Our fin ...

On finding nearest neighbors in a set of compressible signals

Pierre Vandergheynst, Philippe Jost

Numerous applications demand that we manipulate large sets of very high-dimensional signals. A simple yet common example is the problem of finding those signals in a database that are closest to a query. In this paper, we tackle this problem by restricting ...

Coupling of cortical dynein and Galpha proteins mediates spindle positioning in Caenorhabditis elegans

Pierre Gönczy

Despite being essential for spatial cell division control, the mechanisms governing spindle positioning remain incompletely understood. In the Caenorhabditis elegans one-cell stage embryo, the spindle becomes asymmetrically positioned during anaphase throu ...

Diversity of raft-like domains in late endosomes

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

BACKGROUND: Late endosomes, the last sorting station in the endocytic pathway before lysosomes, are pleiomorphic organelles composed of tubular elements as well as vesicular regions with a characteristic multivesicular appearance, which play a crucial role ...

Harnessing social perception of a bridge's condition

Eugen Brühwiler, James Denman Birdsall

Operating and maintaining a bridge is a union of two dichotomous entities: the analytical civil engineer and the experiencing public. In a perfect society, the concerns of the former would be actively and completely supported by the later, but in practice ...

One-Step Conversion of Cellobiose to C6-Alcohols Using a Ruthenium Nanocluster Catalyst

Paul Joseph Dyson, Cheng Zhao, Ning Yan, Huizhen Liu

The one-step conversion of cellulose to C6-alcs. via green and energy efficient approaches has, as far as we are aware, not been reported. Such a process presents a considerable challenge, the two key problems being (1) finding a suitable solvent that diss ...

Steerable wavelet analysis of CMB structures alignment

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

This paper reviews the application of a novel methodology for analysing the isotropy of the universe by probing the alignment of local structures in the CMB. The strength of the proposed methodology relies on the steerable wavelet filtering of the CMB sign ...

Converting core compounds into building blocks: The concept of regiochemically exhaustive functionalization

Fabrice Cottet, Carla Bobbio

In a model study, 3-fluorophenol and 3-fluoropyridine were converted into all possible regioisomers of the corresponding carboxylic acids by passing through the corresponding organometallic intermediates. As an attempt to generalize the findings reveals, a ...
