Urban sustainability assessment through spatial lenses: turning the spotlight on the local neighbourhood unit

With global environmental change and quality of life issues at the forefront of international discussions today, urban development strategies and policies are often framed around various sustainability or liveability goals. Regardless of the sustainability ...

Phase Transformation-Induced Interfacial Debonding of Silica Inclusions in Iron

Andreas Mortensen, David Hernandez Escobar, Julie Nathalie S Gheysen, Alejandra Inés Slagter

We document that in unstressed, undeformed, samples of pure iron containing silica inclusions precipitated by melt deoxidation, the iron matrix and a small fraction of the silica inclusions are locally separated at room temperature by a void. Thermal cycli ...

Design and Simulation of a Wide-Bandwidth CMUTs Array with Dual-Mixed radii and Multi Operating Modes

Yu Bai, Yihe Zhao, Zhengwen Jiang, Jie Li, Zichen Liu

A capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) array with dual-mixed radii is designed to improve bandwidth and realize multi-modes operating for immersed ultrasonic applications. The two-size (TS) CMUT array is composed of two sub-arrays with d ...

Turbulence in the scrape-off layer of double-null tokamak configurations

Carrie Fiona Beadle

Understanding the turbulent dynamics in the outermost region of the tokamak is essential to predict and control the heat and particle loads to the vessel wall, a crucial problem for the entire fusion program. In this thesis, the problem is approached via t ...

Sequential metric dimension for random graphs

Patrick Thiran, Gergely Odor

In the localization game on a graph, the goal is to find a fixed but unknown target node v* with the least number of distance queries possible. In the j-th step of the game, the player queries a single node v_j and receives, as an answer to their query, th ...

Transposable Elements and Their KRAB-ZFP Controllers Regulate Gene Expression in Adult Tissues

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Gabriela Ecco, Julien Léonard Duc, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Andrea Coluccio, Michaël Imbeault, Helen Mary Rowe

KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress with their cofactor KAP1 through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a ...

Extended Intermolecular Interactions Governing Photocurrent-Voltage Relations in Ternary Organic Solar Cells

Ursula Röthlisberger, Simone Meloni, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Negar Ashari Astani, Feng Gao, Beatrice Beyer

Efficient organic solar cells are based on (electron) donor-acceptor heterojunctions. An optically generated excited molecular state (exciton) is dissociated at this junction, forming a charge-transfer (CT) state in an intermediate step before the electron ...

Unraveling the KRAB/KAP1 control of transposable elements in pluripotent and somatic cells

Gabriela Ecco

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences able to change position in the genome, and represent more than 40% of mammalian genetic material. TEs can have positive or detrimental effects on the host, being both important motors of evolution and genomic t ...

Multiple source multiple destination topology inference using network coding

Christina Fragouli

In this paper, we combine network coding and tomographic techniques for topology inference. Our goal is to infer the topology of a network by sending probes between a given set of multiple sources and multiple receivers and by having intermediate nodes per ...

Phase synchronization for classification of spontaneous EEG signals in brain-computer interfaces

Elly Gysels

By directly analyzing brain activity, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow for communication that does not rely on any muscular control and therefore constitute a possible communication channel for the completely paralyzed. Typically, the user performs d ...
