A Whale's Tail - Finding the Right Whale in an Uncertain World

Explainable machine learning and uncertainty quantification have emerged as promising approaches to check the suitability and understand the decision process of a data-driven model, to learn new insights from data, but also to get more information about th ...

Hexachlorobenzene exerts genotoxic effects in a humpback whale cell line under stable exposure conditions

Kristin Schirmer, Jenny Maner

Humpback whales, like other polar wildlife, accumulate persistent organic pollutants. In Southern hemisphere populations, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) dominates the contaminant profiles. HCB is linked to a variety of health effects and is classified as a group ...

Establishment of the first humpback whale fibroblast cell lines and their application in chemical risk assessment

Kristin Schirmer

This paper reports the first successful derivation and characterization of humpback whale fibroblast cell lines. Primary fibroblasts were isolated from the dermal connective tissue of skin biopsies, cultured at 37 degrees C and 5% CO2 in the standard mamma ...

Listening to Distances and Hearing Shapes

Ivan Dokmanic

A central theme of this thesis is using echoes to achieve useful, interesting, and sometimes surprising results. One should have no doubts about the echoes' constructive potential; it is, after all, demonstrated masterfully by Nature. Just think about the ...

Sulfide-binding hemoglobins: effects of mutations on active-site flexibility

Majed Chergui

The dynamics of Hb I (HbI) from the clam Lucina pectinata, from wild-type sperm whale (SW) myoglobin, and from the L29F/H64Q/V68F triple mutant of SW, both unligated and bound to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), have been studied in mol. dynamics simulations. Featu ...

Optic-flow-based steering and altitude control for ultra-light indoor aircraft

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Our goal is to demonstrate the ability of bio-inspired techniques to solve the problem of piloting an autonomous 40-grams aircraft within textured indoor environments. Because of severe weight and energy constraints, inspiration has been taken from the fly ...

Analysis of steady-state shallow cell solidification in metal matrix composites

Andreas Mortensen

The influence of capillarity on the near-plane front solidification of metal matrix composites is examined by analysis of the one-sided solidification of a binary alloy in a planar interstice of constant width in the limit of low Peclet number. We assume t ...
