Predictors and predictands of linear response in spatially extended systems

The goal of response theory, in each of its many statistical mechanical formulations, is to predict the perturbed response of a system from the knowledge of the unperturbed state and of the applied perturbation. A new recent angle on the problem focuses on ...

Predictive models for response to non-invasive brain stimulation in stroke: A critical review of opportunities and pitfalls

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philip Egger

Background: Noninvasive brain stimulation has been successfully applied to improve stroke impairments in different behavioral domains. Yet, clinical translation is limited by heterogenous comes within and across studies. It has been proposed to develop and ...

Size-aware Sharding For Improving Tail Latencies in In-memory Key-value Stores

Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona

This paper introduces the concept of size-aware sharding to improve tail latencies for in-memory key-value stores, and describes its implementation in the Minos key-value store. Size-aware sharding distributes requests for keys to cores according to the si ...

Developing Attitude Measures Based on Respondents’ Representations of Unfamiliar Objects

Stéphane Joost, Alain Clémence

A key challenge in the design of effective survey questionnaires is to write questions that respondents can understand consistently. Recommendations in the questionnaire design literature propose the use of respondents’ own terminology to facilitate compre ...

City and interaction: the role of space in social organization

João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

How can seemingly chaotic personal acts create the coherent systems of interaction that surround us? In this paper, we attempt to answer this key question by suggesting the role for cities on how we coordinate seemingly chaotic decisions. We look into thes ...

Consensus guidelines for the use and interpretation of angiogenesis assays

Michele De Palma, George Coukos, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Elizabeth Anne Allen, Yan Gong

The formation of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, is a complex process that plays important roles in growth and development, tissue and organ regeneration, as well as numerous pathological conditions. Angiogenesis undergoes multiple discrete steps that ...

VDM-based UAV Attitude Determination in Absence of IMU Data

Jan Skaloud, Mehran Khaghani

The capability of a previously proposed VDM (vehicle dynamic model) based navigation method for UAVs is assessed in attitude determination without IMU data. This method utilizes the VDM as main process model within the navigation filter and treats data fro ...

Reduced Leakage Synchrophasor Estimation: Hilbert Transform Plus Interpolated DFT

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo

Synchrophasor estimation is typically performed by means of spectral analysis based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Traditional DFT approaches, though, suffer from several uncertainty contributions due to the stationarity assumption, spectral leak ...
