Bridging Native and Intrinsic Structures of Microhydrated Biomolecules by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...

Statistical Emulation of Neural Simulators: Application to Neocortical L2/3 Large Basket Cells

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Oren Amsalem, Idan Segev

Many scientific systems are studied using computer codes that simulate the phenomena of interest. Computer simulation enables scientists to study a broad range of possible conditions, generating large quantities of data at a faster rate than the laboratory ...

Advancing coordination control of multi-limb robotic tasks: application to bimanual dynamic manipulation and bipedal reactive locomotion

Michael Bosongo Bombile

Bi-manual picking up of objects to toss them on a conveyor belt are dynamic manipulation activities generated daily in the industry. Such repetitive and physically demanding tasks are still done largely by humans for lack of similarly fast, precise, and ro ...

Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism

Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Nagornov

Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation. However, in cann ...

On enforcing the necessary conditions of optimality under plant-model mismatch - What to measure and what to adapt?

Martand Singhal

Industrial processes are run with the aim of maximizing economic profit while simultaneously meeting process-critical constraints. To this end, model-based optimization can be performed to ensure optimal plant operations. Usually, inevitable model inaccura ...

Dynamic Graffiti Stylisation with Stochastic Optimal Control

Sylvain Calinon

We present a method for the interactive generation of stylised letters, curves and motion paths that are similar to the ones that can be observed in art forms such as graffiti and calligraphy. We define various stylisations of a letter form over a common g ...

New antimicrobial surfaces and intravascular catheters for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections

Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an important health issue around the world. The consequences of HAIs incidence include prolonged hospital stays, increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials, higher costs for health systems and for t ...

From cineradiography to biorobots: an approach for designing robots to emulate and study animal locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Robin Thandiackal, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis, Navid Khajeh Mahabadi, Stanislav Yuri Tsitkov

Robots are increasingly used as scientific tools to investigate animal locomotion. However, designing a robot that properly emulates the kinematic and dynamic properties of an animal is difficult because of the complexity of musculoskeletal systems and the ...

JPEG XT: A Compression Standard for HDR and WCG Images [Standards in a Nutshell]

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

High bit depth data acquisition and manipulation have been largely studied at the academic level over the last 15 years and are rapidly attracting interest at the industrial level. An example of the increasing interest for high-dynamic range (HDR) imaging ...

Secret Communication Over Broadcast Erasure Channels With State-Feedback

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

We consider a 1-to-K communication scenario, where a source transmits private messages to K receivers through a broadcast erasure channel, and the receivers feedback strictly, causally, and publicly their channel states after each transmission. We explore ...
