A Distributed Augmenting Path Approach for the Bottleneck Assignment Problem

We develop an algorithm to solve the bottleneck assignment problem (BAP) that is amenable to having computation distributed over a network of agents. This consists of exploring how each component of the algorithm can be distributed, with a focus on one com ...

Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Christian Sachse, Adrien Christophe Doerig

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...

Evaluation of 30 urban land surface models in the Urban-PLUMBER project: Phase 1 results

Gabriele Manoli, Matthias Roth

Accurately predicting weather and climate in cities is critical for safeguarding human health and strengthening urban resilience. Multimodel evaluations can lead to model improvements; however, there have been no major intercomparisons of urban-focussed la ...

Nucleation, propagation, and scale dependence of laboratory frictional ruptures; implications for earthquake mechanics.

Federica Paglialunga

Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause ground shaking and damage to people and infrastructures. Despite significant progress achieved in understanding how earthquakes start, propagate, and arrest, many aspects of their physics and mechanics remain no ...

Design and manufacture of edible microfluidic logic gates

Dario Floreano, Bokeon Kwak, Shuhang Zhang

Edible robotics is an emerging research field with potential use in environmental, food, and medical scenarios. In this context, the design of edible control circuits could increase the behavioral complexity of edible robots and reduce their dependence on ...

Impact of adherence to a lifestyle-integrated programme on physical function and behavioural complexity in young older adults at risk of functional decline: a multicentre RCT secondary analysis

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu

Context Long-term adherence to physical activity (PA) interventions is challenging. The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise programmes were adapted Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (aLiFE) to include more challenging activities and a behaviour ...

Data-driven Power Electronic Converter Control Design in Power System Applications

Seyed Sohail Madani

In recent years, power systems have evolved in physical and cyber-physical layers. In the physical layer, the changes are motivated by environmental concerns resulting in the integration of new types of generation/demand/storage into the grid. These integr ...

Characterization and prediction of clinical pathways of vulnerability to psychosis through graph signal processing

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maude Schneider, Daniela Maria Zöller, Anjali Bagunu Tarun

Causal interactions between specific psychiatric symptoms could contribute to the heterogenous clinical trajectories observed in early psychopathology. Current diagnostic approaches merge clinical manifestations that co-occur across subjects and could sign ...

The effects of model complexity and size on metabolic flux distribution and control: case study in Escherichia coli

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Georgios Fengos, Tuure Eelis Hameri

Background Significant efforts have been made in building large-scale kinetic models of cellular metabolism in the past two decades. However, most kinetic models published to date, remain focused around central carbon pathways or are built around ad hoc re ...

Performance and Micro-Vibrations in Magnetic Bearings for Space Actuators

Guzmán Borque Gallego

The development of new space missions with novel high-performance and very sensitive payloads for Earth observation or scientific missions has imposed considerably tougher requirements in terms of the satellite's pointing accuracy and stability, and thus o ...
