The mesoglea buffers the physico-chemical microenvironment of photosymbionts in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea sp

Anders Meibom, Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Michael Kühl

IntroductionThe jellyfish Cassiopea has a conspicuous lifestyle, positioning itself upside-down on sediments in shallow waters thereby exposing its photosynthetic endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) to light. Several studies have shown how the photosymbionts b ...

Understanding multimodality through rhythm of life. An empirical evidence from the Swiss case study

Alexis Gumy, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon

The car dominance car in the urban transport system may contribute to health and environmental troubles. In recent years, multimodality appears as a central issue for public policies as they try to encourage and develop the modal shift in favour of walking ...

Can Fitness Trackers Help Diabetic and Obese Users Make and Sustain Lifestyle Changes?

Pearl Pu Faltings, Yu Chen

Diabetic and obese users given a Fitbit fitness tracker for seven months identified the device's playfulness, practicality, persuasiveness, personalization, and privacy as the top motivators for its use. These results provide insights into designing wearab ...

Strategies for Symbiotic Urban Neighborhoods. Case study in Yverdon-les-Bains (Switzerland)

Sophie Lufkin, Emmanuel Rey, Suren Erkman

The Symbiotic Districts research project examines dimensions influencing energy self-sufficiency at neighborhood scale by integrating parameters related to buildings, infrastructure, mobility, food, goods and services. Transposing industrial ecology tools ...

Comparison of strategies improving local energy self-sufficiency at neighborhood Scale. Case study in Yverdon-les-Bains (Switzerland)

Sophie Lufkin, Emmanuel Rey

Within a context of growing efforts to develop sustainability strategies, one of the main challenges is promoting value creation while using fewer resources. In this perspective, how can we design attractive urban neighborhoods generating endogenous econom ...

Observational constraints on the distribution, seasonality, and environmental predictors of North American boreal methane emissions

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Bowen Zhang

Wetlands comprise the single largest global source of atmospheric methane, but current flux estimates disagree in both magnitude and distribution at the continental scale. This study uses atmospheric methane observations over North America from 2007 to 200 ...

The simplicity of planar networks

Emanuele Strano, Marc Barthélemy

Shortest paths are not always simple. In planar networks, they can be very different from those with the smallest number of turns - the simplest paths. The statistical comparison of the lengths of the shortest and simplest paths provides a non trivial and ...

Modeling perceptual learning: why mice do not play backgammon

Michael Herzog, Elisa Tartaglia, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

Perceptual learning is often considered one of the simplest and basic forms of learning in general. Accordingly, it is usually modeled with simple and basic neural networks which show good results in grasping the empirical data. Simple meets simple. Comple ...

Diversity-oriented synthesis of furo[3,2-f]chromanes with antimycobacterial activity

Stewart Cole

We previously reported the synthesis and the antimycobacterial activity of 4-(7,7-dimethyl-7H-furo[3,2-f]chromen-2-yl)pyridine. From this result, we sought to design simple synthetic accesses to related structures allowing the preparation of a diverse set ...

Evolvability of Neuromodulated Learning for Robots

Dario Floreano, Claudio Mattiussi, Peter Dürr, Andrea Soltoggio

Neuromodulation is thought to be one of the underlying principles of learning and memory in biological neural networks. Recent experiments have shown that neuroevolutionary methods benefit from neuromodulation in simple grid-world problems. In this paper w ...
