What's all the noise about developmental stochasticity?

Andrew Charles Oates

In October 2010, researchers from diverse backgrounds collided at the historic Cumberland Lodge (Windsor, UK) to discuss the role of randomness in cell and developmental biology. Organized by James Briscoe and Alfonso Marinez-Arias, The Company of Biologis ...

Transactional memory, linking theory and practice

Vincent Gramoli, Srivatsan Ravi

Transactional memory appears promising for democratizing concurrent programming. Its potential lies in producing code that is extensible as atomicity is preserved under composition of transactions. This new abstraction raises several challenges such as the ...

On the use of brain decoded signals for online user adaptive gesture recognition systems

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Andrea Biasiucci, Daniel Roggen

Activity and context recognition in pervasive and wearable computing ought to continuously adapt to changes typical of open-ended scenarios, such as changing users, sensor characteristics, user expectations, or user motor patterns due to learning or aging. ...

Branched Alkanes Have Contrasting Stabilities

Matthew Wodrich, Jérôme Florian Gonthier

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 ...

Alpine Motel

Dieter Dietz

Pamphlet Vol. 06 is based on the Spring 2009 semester-course held by the studio ALICE at EPFL and contains a series of projects developed by the ALICE students for alpine motels along 8 mountain passes in the Valais. ...

Transactional Memory: Glimmer of a Theory

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka

Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming. This paper is an overview of our recent theoretical work on defining a theory of TM. We first recall some TM correctness properties and then overview results on the inherent powe ...

On the in-series and in-parallel contribution of elastin assessed by a structure-based biomechanical model of the arterial wall

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Alkiviadis Tsamis, Gilles Prod'Hom

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 ...

Structural properties of amorphous GeSe2

Alfredo Pasquarello

By using first-principles molecular dynamics within density functional theory, we study the structural properties of amorphous GeSe2 at T = 300 K. The amorphous configurations have been obtained via cooling from the liquid state followed by extensive relax ...

Incremental Learning for Place Recognition in Dynamic Environments

Barbara Caputo, Jie Luo

This paper proposes a discriminative approach to template-based Vision-based place recognition is a desirable feature for an autonomous mobile system. In order to work in realistic scenarios, visual recognition algorithms should be adaptive, i.e. should be ...
