Materials and technologies for soft implantable neuroprostheses

Implantable neuroprostheses are engineered systems designed to restore or substitute function for individuals with neurological deficits or disabilities. These systems involve at least one uni-or bidirectional interface between a living neural tissue and a ...

Parallel execution of parsed query based on a concurrency level corresponding to an average number of available worker threads

Anastasia Ailamaki, Iraklis Psaroudakis

Systems and method for a task scheduler with dynamic adjustment of concurrency levels and task granularity are disclosed for improved execution of highly concurrent analytical and transactional systems. The task scheduler can avoid both over commitment and ...

Validation of an Automatic Metric for the Accuracy of Pronoun Translation (APT)

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Lesly Sadiht Miculicich Werlen

In this paper, we define and assess a reference-based metric to evaluate the accuracy of pronoun translation (APT). The metric automatically aligns a candidate and a reference translation using GIZA++ augmented with specific heuristics, and then counts the ...

The Impact of Big Data and Analytics on CIO Role

Gianluigi Viscusi

The joint consideration of big data and analytics is a relatively recent development, particularly, within the domain of Management of Information Systems (MIS). In recent years there is a dramatic increment of the data produced by digital devices and syst ...

Introduction of a dynamic interpretation of building LCA results: the case of the smart living (lab) building in Fribourg, Switzerland

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha

Although a building lifetime is not predictable, it is an essential data in the yearly impact calculation. Yet, in the assessment of the environmental impacts of building the lifetime is considered as a fixed value. The purpose of this study is to introduc ...

Invasive floating macrophytes reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a small tropical lake

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Floating macrophytes, including water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), are dominant invasive organisms in tropical aquatic systems, and they may play an important role in modifying the gas exchange between water and the atmosphere. However, these systems a ...

Inferring interaction partners from protein sequences

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

Specific protein-protein interactions are crucial in the cell, both to ensure the formation and stability of multiprotein complexes and to enable signal transduction in various pathways. Functional interactions between proteins result in coevolution betwee ...

Approaches to analyze structural issues of the European DEMO Toroidal Field Coil System at an early design stage

Kamil Sedlák

Because of its ambitious goals, the DEMO project faces many technical challenges. The mechanical performance of the superconducting toroidal field coil (TFC) system is mostly determined by the high electromagnetic forces. A structural evaluation of the TFC ...

On Designing An Active Tail For Body-Pitch Control In Legged Robots Via Decoupling Of Control Objectives

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Peter Eckert, Steve Walter Shue Heim

This work explores the use of active tails for steady-state legged-locomotion. Simple models are proposed which capture the dynamics of an idealized running system with an active tail. Analysis suggests that the control objectives of injecting energy into ...
