We review the research done in recent years in our group on the effects of nanostructure symmetry, and outline its relevance both for nanostructure physics and for computations of their electronic and optical properties. The exemples of C3v and C2v quantum ...
We prove that amenability of a discrete group is equivalent to dimension flatness of certain ring inclusions naturally associated with measure preserving actions of the group. This provides a group-measure space theoretic solution to a conjecture of Luck s ...
We investigate Farley’s CAT(0) cubical model for Thompson’s group F (we adopt the classical language of F, using binary trees and piecewise linear maps, avoiding the one of diagram groups and pictures). Main results include: in general, Thompson’s group el ...
The integrated approach for the design of solid catalysts for process intensification is presented addressing simultaneously different levels of scale and complexity involved in the development starting from the molecular/nano-scale of the active phase opt ...
Given a principal bundle G hooked right arrow P -> B (each being compact, connected and oriented) and a G-invariant metric h(P) on P which induces a volume form mu(P), we consider the group of all unimodular automorphisms SAut(P, mu(P)) := {phi is an eleme ...

This paper presents a new device for a novel neurorehabilitation strategy for stroke patients suffering from upper limb paralysis. The concept consists in combining illusory movements, induced by tendon vibration on the hand and wrist, with a virtual reali ...

We present a consolidated view of the complexity and challenges of designing studies for measurement of energy metabolism in mouse models, including a practical guide to the assessment of energy expenditure, energy intake and body composition and statistic ...

This paper addresses the problem of discovering conversa- tional group dynamics from nonverbal cues extracted from thin-slices of interaction. We first propose and analyze a novel thin-slice interaction descriptor - a bag of group non- verbal patterns - wh ...

This paper addresses the novel problemof characterizing conversational group dynamics. It is well documented in social psychology that depending on the objectives a group, the dynamics are different. For example, a competitive meeting has a different objec ...

A group of 12 architecture students from EPFL returned from the London Festival of Architecture (19 June-19 July 08), where their contribution, "Overflow", a structure that reacts to tides in the Thames River, was chosen as the best overall project among a ...
