The drive to develop cartilage implants for the treatment of major defects in the musculoskeletal sys-tem has resulted in a major research thrust towards developing biomaterial devices for cartilage repair. Investigational devices for the restoration of ar ...
Merocyanine photoacids are molecular photoswitches that can be used to regulate acid-base reactions reversibly. Despite their growing impact across multiple research areas including materials science and nanotechnology, the effect of temperature on their f ...
We generalize the fixed-point property for discrete groups acting on convex cones given by Monod in [23] to topological groups. At first, we focus on describing this fixed-point property from a functional point of view, and then we look at the class of gro ...
This paper uses an evidence-based approach to assess the difficulties faced by developing country scientists in accessing the scientific literature. I compare backward citations patterns of Swiss and Indian scientists in a database of 43'150 scientific pap ...
Background: Noninvasive brain stimulation has been successfully applied to improve stroke impairments in different behavioral domains. Yet, clinical translation is limited by heterogenous comes within and across studies. It has been proposed to develop and ...
The advent of online publishing greatly facilitates the dissemination of scientific results. This revolution might have led to the untimely death of many traditional publishing companies, since today's scientists are perfectly capable of writing, formattin ...
The first chapter of this thesis, coauthored with Annamaria Conti, seeks to add an economic contribution to the current debate on using university licensing contracts to improve access to medicines in developing countries. We build a simple model in which ...
