Power Shifts, Emigration, and Population Sorting

Michaël Aklin

We investigate the consequences of a peaceful shift of power from one social group to another. Theoretically, we show that an individual’s decision to stay put or migrate depends on the difference between the political preferences of groups and the change ...

Insect-Inspired Visual Perception for Flight Control and Collision Avoidance

Julien Jean Denis Nicolas Lecoeur

Flying robots are increasingly used for tasks such as aerial mapping, fast exploration, video footage and monitoring of buildings. Autonomous flight at low altitude in cluttered and unknown environments is an active research topic because it poses challen ...

Skilled Indians in Switzerland: Mobility paths and transnational connections

Gabriela Tejada Guerrero

As India has developed into one of the countries of origin with the largest number of skilled personnel and international students, it has been increasingly considered as a priority country in public higher-education and labour-market strategies. Its growi ...

The Environment is Everything That Isn't Me: Molecular Mechanisms and Evolutionary Dynamics of Insect Clocks in Variable Surroundings

Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho

Circadian rhythms are oscillations in behavior, metabolism and physiology that have a period close to 24 h. These rhythms are controlled by an internal pacemaker that evolved under strong selective pressures imposed by environmental cyclical changes, mainl ...

Thermal effects in the Long-Term Monitoring of Bridges

Olivier Burdet

Daily and seasonal temperature variations induce deflections of bridges. The amplitude of these moments is significant in comparison with the yearly increment caused by irreversible long-term deflections. To improve the quality of the interpretation of mon ...

Optic Flow to Steer and Avoid Collisions in 3D

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler

Optic-flow is believed to be the main source of information allowing insects to control their flight. Some researchers have tried to apply this paradigm to small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). So far, none of them has been able to demonstrate a fully aut ...

ON CORRELATING BIRD MIGRATION TRAJECTORY WITH CLIMATE CHANGES

José Antonio Fernandes de Macedo, Janaina Oleinik Moura Rosa

Climate changes are expected to affect bird migration in several aspects including timing changes, breeding and migration orientation. The correlation analysis of several climate conditions (e.g. temperature, wind, humidity, etc) and bird migration traject ...

Tracking retrograde flow in keratocytes: news from the front

Jean-Jacques Meister, Sophie Bohnet

Actin assembly at the leading edge of the cell is believed to drive protrusion, whereas membrane resistance and contractile forces result in retrograde flow of the assembled actin network away from the edge. Thus, cell motion and shape changes are expected ...

Tidal meanders

Andrea Rinaldo

Observational evidence is presented on the geometry of meandering tidal channels evolved within coastal wetlands characterized by different tidal, hydrodynamic, topographic, vegetational and ecological features. New insight is provided on the geometrical p ...
