The foreseen important increase of the penetration of distributed renewable energies technologies into the electricity distribution grid is expected to lead to some major challenges. On the one hand, a large and synchronous production could lead in certain ...
Hydropower (HP) is the backbone of the Swiss electricity system providing around 60 % (36 TWh/a) of the total electricity generated on a yearly average. With the planned phase-out of nuclear power plants, HP and other Renewable Energy Sources (RES) will ne ...
A gravitational energy storage device is described where the kinetic energy to recover while braking a vertically moving mass is compensated by an auxiliary storage device based on supercapacitors. The characteristic power surge occurring by a fast decreas ...
In this perspective communication, we briefly sketch the current state of computational (bio)material research and discuss possible solutions for the four challenges that have been increasingly identified within this community: (i) the desire to develop a ...
Data lakes are complex ecosystems where heterogeneity prevails. Raw data of diverse formats are stored and processed, while long and expensive ETL processes are avoided. Apart from data heterogeneity, data lakes also entail hardware heterogeneity. Typical ...
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for generating model neurons. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of descriptions of branches of dendrites of one or more neurons and gener ...
Whole Genome Sequencing is a process in the field of bioinformatics that transforms biological samples of DNA into an electronic dataset of genetic bases. The process consists of two sequential components. First, the laboratory process of sequencing transf ...
Motivation: The majority of genome analysis tools and pipelines require data to be decrypted for access. This potentially leaves sensitive genetic data exposed, either because the unencrypted data is not removed after analysis, or because the data leaves t ...
Amid a data revolution that is transforming industries around the globe, computing systems have undergone a paradigm shift where many applications are scaled out to run on multiple computers in a computing cluster. As the storage and processing capabilitie ...
Consider a stream of status updates generated by a source, where each update is of one of two types: high priority or ordinary (low priority). These updates are to be transmitted through a network to a monitor. However, the transmission policy of each pack ...
