We present a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) framework for generically extracting the relevant features of a given task and for addressing the problem of generalizing the acquired knowledge to different contexts. We validate the architecture through a s ...
Bond separation reactions of highly branched alkanes are used to assess (de)stabilizing interactions associated with various 1,3-nonbonded substituent patterns. While n- and singly methylated alkanes show positive bond separation energies (BSEs), which inc ...
Vascular smooth muscle is a major structural element of the arterial wall. We examined the effects of cytoskeleton destruction, after administration of Cytochalasin D, on the biomechanical properties of porcine common carotids. Compared to untreated, maxim ...
This paper investigates the mechanical behaviour and the load-carrying mechanisms of reinforced concrete slabs by means of shear fields. The suitability of various shear fields obtained from different approaches (elastic and plastic theory) is investigated ...
Switzerland is currently involved in a dynamic process of territorial change at a local level. This movement is anti- cyclical to the situation in most of the Western European countries, which carried out a policy of territorial reforms during the 1970’s. ...
Earlier experimental work on decellularized arteries revealed the existence of significant residual stresses within the arterial wall, which are released upon chemical removal of vascular smooth muscle in normal arteries causing substantial radial expansio ...
Adaptive filtering is a topic of immense practical and theoretical value, having applications in areas ranging from digital and wireless communications to biomedical systems. This book enables readers to gain a gradual and solid introduction to the subject ...
It has been acknowledged that river morphology and hydrology have been intensively altered due to the anthropic demands in floodplain land use and management, flood protection, promotion of navigability or energy production. Rivers were transformed in wate ...
This review sums up the activity in the field of in situ product removal in whole cell bioprocesses over the last 20 yr. It gives a complete summary of ISPR operations with microbial cells and cites a series of interesting ISPR applications in plant and an ...
Iontophoretic delivery of a homologous series of cationic ALA esters, into and through the skin, has been detd. and compared to that of the zwitterionic parent drug. The roles of electrorepulsion and electroosmosis have been deduced. ...
