Infectious disease spread in connected communities
Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...
EPFL2024Organ Neuroprosthetics: Connecting Transplanted and Artificial Organs with the Nervous System
Implantable neural interfaces with the central and peripheral nervous systems are currently used to restore sensory, motor, and cognitive functions in disabled people with very promising results. They have also been used to modulate autonomic activities to ...
Wiley2024Interpret3C: Interpretable Student Clustering Through Individualized Feature Selection
Vinitra Swamy, Paola Mejia Domenzain, Julian Thomas Blackwell, Isadora Alves de Salles
Clustering in education, particularly in large-scale online environments like MOOCs, is essential for understanding and adapting to diverse student needs. However, the effectiveness of clustering depends on its interpretability, which becomes challenging w ...
2024Perceptual Learning: Policy Insights From Basic Research to Real-World Applications
Perceptual learning is the process by which experience alters how incoming sensory information is processed by the brain to give rise to behavior-it is critical for how humans educate children, train experts, treat diseases, and promote health and well-bei ...
Thousand Oaks2023Advancing first principle-based molecular dynamics of biological systems with machine learning
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have emerged as a transformative approach to analyse molecular systems at the atomic level, offering valuable insights into complex biological processes. Many biological phenomena can only accurately be described by inco ...
EPFL2023Novel High-Throughput Fluorescence-Based Assay for the Identification of Nematocidal Compounds That Target the Blood-Feeding Pathway
Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Anthony Marchand, Nicola Harris, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Mati André Marie Moyat
Hookworm infections cause a neglected tropical disease (NTD) affecting ~740 million people worldwide, principally those living in disadvantaged communities. Infections can cause high morbidity due to their impact on nutrient uptake and their need to feed o ...
2022Current challenges in understanding the role of enhancers in disease
Enhancers play a central role in the spatiotemporal control of gene expression and tend to work in a cell-type-specific manner. In addition, they are suggested to be major contributors to phenotypic variation, evolution and disease. There is growing eviden ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Autonomous Detection and Deterrence of Pigeons on Buildings by Drones
Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Davide Zambrano, Dominik Natter
Pigeons may transmit diseases to humans and cause damages to buildings, monuments, and other infrastructure. Therefore, several control strategies have been developed, but they have been found to be either ineffective or harmful to animals and often depend ...
2022Mega Event Reinforced Industrial Heritage Transformation: A typological matrix between narratives and practices
Florence Graezer Bideau, Huishu Deng
Mega-events have been considered as a strategy to boost urban development, which shifts targets from expansion outside of the original city fabric to reuse of heritage. The bidirectional dynamic between mega-events and heritage has been emphasized, as the ...
2022Accounting for Optical Generation in the Quasi-Neutral Regions of Perovskite Solar Cells
Jean-Michel Sallese, Farzan Jazaeri, Parnian Ferdowsi, Michael Saliba
Predicting the performance of solar cells though analytical models is important for the theory-guided optimization of these devices. Earlier models neglect the impact of the optical generation in the quasi-neutral regions of a perovskite solar cell. Here, ...
