Applicability of the landscape evolution model in the absence of rills

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Seifeddine Jomaa, Mohsen Cheraghi, Andrea Cimatoribus

Despite numerous applications of physically-based models for incised landscapes, their applicability for overland flow on unchanneled surfaces is not known. This work challenges a widely used landscape evolution model for the case of non-uniform rainfall a ...

Unraveling reaction-diffusion-like dynamics in urban congestion propagation: Insights from a large-scale road network

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Leonardo Bellocchi

We study the dynamical process of congestion formation for large-scale urban networks by exploring a unique dataset of taxi movements in a megacity. We develop a dynamic model based on a reaction and a diffusion term that properly reproduces the cascade ph ...

An Isoprene Lipid-Binding Protein Promotes Eukaryotic Coenzyme Q Biosynthesis

Matteo Dal Peraro, Deniz Aydin

The biosynthesis of coenzyme Q presents a paradigm for how cells surmount hydrophobic barriers in lipid biology. In eukaryotes, CoQ precursors-among nature's most hydrophobic molecules-must somehow be presented to a series of enzymes peripherally associate ...

The proliferation of aura

Sarah Irene Brutton Kenderdine

This chapter engages with the aura of real, digital, and material copies of objects in the context of museum exhibitions to explore the notion of the “proliferation of aura” as digital artworks reverberate with the original objects they reference. It descr ...

Exploring the use of native spider silk as an optical fibre for chemical sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Isabelle Dicaire, Kenny Hey Tow, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

A spider uses up to seven different types of silk, all having specific functions, as building material, weapon and sensory organ to detect the presence of preys on its web. Recently, scientists have put under the limelight the extraordinary properties of t ...

Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences by Enforcing Time-Consistency

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Raphael Sznitman, Agata Justyna Mosinska, Jan Kybic, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro, Daniel Lebrecht

We propose a novel approach to reconstructing curvilinear tree structures evolving over time, such as road networks in 2D aerial images or neural structures in 3D microscopy stacks acquired in vivo. To enforce temporal consistency, we simultaneously proces ...

Weaving our way towards a new generation of ﬁbre-optic chemical sensors based on spider silk

Luc Thévenaz, Isabelle Dicaire, Kenny Hey Tow, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

From the spider’s perspective, silk is not only a building material but also a safety net, a weapon and a sensory organ to detect the presence of preys on its web. Indeed, this primeval material has been shaped over hundreds of millions of years by spiders ...

From spider webs to a fibre-optic chemical sensor

Luc Thévenaz, Isabelle Dicaire, Kenny Hey Tow, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

From the spider’s perspective, silk is not only a building material but also a safety net, a weapon and a sensory organ to detect the presence of prey on its web. For scientists, dragline silk - directly extracted from spiders - is a tough, biodegradable a ...
