Enriching the Computational Toolbox for Organocatalysis
Organocatalysis has evolved significantly over the last decades, becoming a pillar of synthetic chemistry, but traditional theoretical approaches based on quantum mechanical computations to investigate reaction mechanisms and provide rationalizations of ca ...
EPFL2023Genetic Algorithms for the Discovery of Homogeneous Catalysts
Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Alexandre Alain Schöpfer, Simone Gallarati
In this account, we discuss the use of genetic algorithms in the inverse design process of homogeneous catalysts for chemical transformations. We describe the main components of evolutionary experiments, specifically the nature of the fitness function to o ...
2023The Effects of Spatial Organization and Fluid Flow on the Social Interactions in Microbial Communities
Bacteria often engage in social interactions with neighbouring bacteria. Ecosystems which are subjected to social interactions have been widely studied in well mixed settings such as test tubes, allowing us to identify the cellular components contributingt ...
EPFL2023Understanding intergenerational fitness tracking practices: 12 suggestions for design
The paper presents a qualitative study to explore the use of fitness trackers and their social functions in intergenerational settings. The study covered three phases of semi-structured interviews with older and younger adults during individual and interge ...
SPRINGERNATURE2021Transient vitamin B5 starving improves mammalian cell homeostasis and protein production
Maintaining a metabolic steady state is essential for an organism's fitness and survival when confronted with environmental stress, and metabolic imbalance can be reversed by exposing the organism to fasting. Here, we attempted to apply this physiological ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2020The upper limit of cardiorespiratory fitness associated with longevity: an update
In 2013, mortality reductions with improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) have been suggested to persist until 13 METs. More recently, accumulating evidence from large-scale studies suggests that mortality from all causes decreases with increasing CRF l ...
