Are the US outperforming Europe in university technology licensing? A new perspective on the European paradox

Patrick Gaulé, Annamaria Conti

Europe is perceived to lag behind the US in converting its academic results into economic outcomes. Using new survey data and controlling for standard factors affecting the productivity of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), we find that European TTOs do n ...

Interpretation of neuronal response properties with simplified neuron models

Laurent Badel

Computational neuroscience is a branch of the neurosciences that attempts to elucidate the principles underlying the operation of neurons with the help of mathematical modeling. In contrast with a number of fields pursuing a tightly related goal, such as m ...

Self-assembly of multiligand supramolecular architectures at metal surfaces

Alexander Langner

Self-assembly of organic molecules represents an efficient and convenient bottom-up approach for the structural functionalization of surfaces at the nanometer scale. The great potential of assembling supramolecular architectures from organic molecules lies ...

Simulation modelling of ecological hierarchies in constructive dynamical systems

François Gillet

Organized complexity is a characteristic feature of ecological systems with heterogeneous components interacting at several spatio-temporal scales. The hierarchy theory is a powerful epistemological framework to describe such systems by decomposing them ve ...

Cooperative and redundant roles of VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 signaling in adult lymphangiogenesis

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski, Miriella Carmela Pasquier

Activation of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) by VEGF-C initiates lymphangiogenesis by promoting lymphatic proliferation and migration. However, it is unclear whether VEGFR-3 signaling is required beyond these initial stages ...

Managing competing Communities of Practice: The impact of open source and knowledge-bridging on system-level learning

In this article we explore how learning across competing Communities of Practice (CoP) may benefit from actively managed processes, namely: building an explicit knowledge repository (open source), and setting incentives to crossing boundaries (knowledge-br ...

Co-ordination of local policies for urban development and public transportation in four Swiss cities

Vincent Kaufmann

The present article aims at assessing the possibility for urban areas to coordinate local policies of urban development and public transportation and at explaining the differences in this achievement between urban regions. In order to do so, the study draw ...

Interaction of spatial and temporal integration in global form processing

Jane Aspell

The mechanisms by which global structure is extracted from local orientation information are not well understood. Sensitivity to global structure can be investigated using coherence thresholds for detection of global forms of varying complexity, such as pa ...
