Fano resonant plasmonic systems: Functioning principles and applications

Olivier Martin, Andrea Lovera, Benjamin Gallinet, Thomas Gerd Siegfried

Using a generalization of Fano formula that includes the intrinsic losses associated with metals, we retrieve the underlying modal structure that produces Fano resonances from the interference between a bright and a dark mode. This knowledge is used to det ...

Mobility, Knowledge and Cooperation: Scientific Diasporas as Agents of Change

Gabriela Tejada Guerrero

The growing knowledge gap between the North and the South shows the need for innovative perspectives in the study of the mobility of scientists and skilled professionals. Today, more than ever, it is obvious that there is a need to recognize the importance ...

Crowdsourcing As A Solution To Distant Search

Christopher Tucci, Allan Afuah

We argue that under certain circumstances crowdsourcing transforms distant search into local search, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of problem solving. Under such circumstances a firm may choose to crowdsource problem solving rather than solve ...

Tailoring the time-dependent recovery of shape memory polymers

John Christopher Plummer, Charly David Azra

On application of heat, shape memory polymers (SMPs) are able to revert to a primary shape from a secondary shape induced by mechanical deformation. It may be desirable to induce shape recovery at controlled rates under quasi-isothermal conditions, e. g. i ...

The fragility of experiential knowledge

Dominique Foray

Abstract of the book: While there is growing recognition that understanding knowledge is at the very heart of economics, little work has thus far been forthcoming representing in a comprehensive and coherent way its fundamental nature and wide-ranging cons ...

Comparison-Based Learning with Rank Nets

Amin Karbasi

We consider the problem of search through comparisons, where a user is presented with two candidate objects and reveals which is closer to her intended target. We study adaptive strategies for finding the target, that require knowledge of rank relationship ...

Where are we in understanding salamander locomotion: biological and robotic perspectives on kinematics

Auke Ijspeert, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

Salamanders have captured the interest of biologists and roboticists for decades because of their ability to locomote in different environments and their resemblance to early representatives of tetrapods. In this article, we review biological and robotic s ...

Budgeted Knowledge Transfer for State-wise Heterogeneous RL Agents

Zeynab Talebpour, Farbod Farshidian

In this paper we introduce a budgeted knowledge transfer algorithm for non-homogeneous reinforcement learning agents. Here the source and the target agents are completely identical except in their state representations. The algorithm uses functional space ...

Quantification of "Fuzzy" Chemical Concepts: A Computational Perspective

Matthew Wodrich, Jérôme Florian Gonthier

Chemists recurrently utilize "fuzzy'' chemical concepts (e.g. atomic charges, the chemical bond, strain, aromaticity, branching, etc.), which lack unique quantitative assessments but, nonetheless, are frequently employed as tools for understanding the intr ...
