Infrared Activities of Adsorbed Species on Metal Surfaces: The Puzzle of Adsorbed Methyl (CH3)

Rainer Beck, Harmina Vejayan

Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...

Landscape and training regimes in deep learning

Matthieu Wyart, Mario Geiger, Leonardo Petrini

Deep learning algorithms are responsible for a technological revolution in a variety oftasks including image recognition or Go playing. Yet, why they work is not understood.Ultimately, they manage to classify data lying in high dimension – a feat generical ...

A functional model of adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis

Wulfram Gerstner, Olivia Gozel

In adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis, the link between maturation of newborn neurons and their function, such as behavioral pattern separation, has remained puzzling. By analyzing a theoretical model, we show that the switch from excitation to inhibition of ...

Computational Design of Steady 3D Dissection Puzzles

Bailin Deng, Peng Song, Xiaofei Wang

Dissection puzzles require assembling a common set of pieces into multiple distinct forms. Existing works focus on creating 2D dissection puzzles that form primitive or naturalistic shapes. Unlike 2D dissection puzzles that could be supported on a tabletop ...

Bretherton's buoyant bubble

John Martin Kolinski, Wassim Dhaouadi

When a buoyant bubble is inserted into a closed capillary that is slightly smaller than the capillary length, it appears stuck; exactly why this is so is a puzzle that has remained unanswered over the past 50 years. Recent calculations suggest that the bub ...

Solving puzzles of spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries

Andrey Shkerin

We establish a classical analog of the Nambu-Goldstone theorem for spontaneous breaking of spacetime symmetries. It provides a counting rule for independent Nambu-Goldstone fields and states which of them are gapped. We demonstrate that only those symmetry ...

Asymetric Telecollaboration in Virtual Reality

We present a first study where we combine two asymetric virtual reality systems for telecollaboration purposes: a CAVE system and a head-mounted display (HMD), using a server-client type architecture. Experiments on a puzzle game in limited time, alone and ...

Creating Personalized Jigsaw Puzzles

Sabine Süsstrunk, Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani, Cheryl Shaulya Lau, Appu Shaji, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg

Designing aesthetically pleasing and challenging jigsaw puzzles is considered an art that requires considerable skill and expertise. We propose a tool that allows novice users to create customized jigsaw puzzles based on the image content and a user-define ...

Fusion of competing features is not serial

Michael Herzog

How features of an object are bound into a unique percept is one of the puzzling problems in the cognitive and neuro-sciences. In order to investigate the spatio-temporal mechanisms of feature binding, we serially present two verniers with opposite offset ...
