Std. bioprocess conditions have been widely applied for the microbial conversion of raw material to essential industrial products. Successful metabolic engineering (ME) strategies require a comprehensive framework to manage the complexity embedded in cellu ...
UML State Machines constitute an integral part of software behavior specification within the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The development of realistic software applications often results in complex and distributed models. Hence, potential errors can be ...
One of the most frequent operations in object-oriented programs is the "instanceof" test, also called the "subtyping" test or the "type inclusion" test. This test determines if a given object is an instance of some type. Surprisingly, despite a lot of rese ...
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 ...
We consider example-critiquing systems that help people search for their most preferred item in a large catalog. We compare 6 existing approaches in terms of user or system-centric, implicit or explicit use of preferences, assumptions used and their behavi ...
Scala is a general-purpose programming language developed at EPFL. It combines concepts coming from object-oriented languages with other ones coming from functional languages. Scala is strongly typed and comes with a relatively complex type system, which i ...
Liquid crystal (LC) microlenses have a variable focal length with a change in applied voltage. These lenses have suitable dimensions and focal length variations for a wide range of applications where the absence of moving parts is favored. In this article ...
Supplementing a lattice with long-range connections effectively models small-world networks characterized by a high local and global interconnectedness observed in systems ranging from society to the brain. If the links have a wiring cost associated with t ...
Generic types in C# behave invariantly with respect to subtyping. We propose a system of type-safe variance for C# that supports the declaration of covariant and contravariant type parameters on generic types. To support more widespread application of vari ...
The purpose of this paper is to present the different forms of economic regulation in the network industries, following the debate about restructuring these industries. The main theories on (economic) regulation of the network industries are presented and ...
