Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level

Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we ...

Removing Algorithmic Discrimination (With Minimal Individual Error)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Le Nguyen Hoang

We address for the first time the problem of correcting group discriminations within a score function, while minimizing the individual error. Each group is described by a probability density function on the set of profiles. We first solve the problem analy ...

Material surface detection on various body parts: a preliminary study for temperature substitution for upper arm amputees

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur

Experiments have shown that healthy subjects can detect materials solely relying on the material's thermal properties at their fingertip. We are interested in developing a non-invasive temperature display for sensory substitution for patients with arm ampu ...

Discrimination against foreigners in the U.S. patent system

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Inventions of foreign origin are about ten percentage points less likely to be granted a U.S. patent than domestic inventions. An empirical analysis of 1.5 million U.S. patent applications identifies three systematic differences between foreign and domesti ...

Tomography of Large Adaptive Networks under the Dense Latent Regime

Ali H. Sayed, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

This work examines the problem of graph learning over a diffusion network when measurements can only be gathered from a limited fraction of agents (latent regime). Under this selling, most works in the literature rely on a degree of sparsity to provide gua ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Psychosis is Linked to Neural Disconnectivity

Olaf Blanke, Alessandra Griffa, Kim Do, Patric Hagmann, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Silvia Marchesotti, Pierre Progin

Background: Schneiderian first rank symptoms (FRS) are characterized by a diminished demarcation of self-other boundaries, causing misattribution of self-generated thoughts and actions to external sources. We have shown that introducing sensorimotor predic ...

Discrimination of numerical proportions: A comparison of binomial and Gaussian models

Aire Raidvee

Observers discriminated the numerical proportion of two sets of elements (N = 9, 13, 33, and 65) that differed either by color or orientation. According to the standard Thurstonian approach, the accuracy of proportion discrimination is determined by irredu ...

Method and Procedure in Metal Detection and Distinctive Discrimination of Size, Shape, and Location of Hidden Single and Multi-Material Targets

Chafic Abu Antoun

This work provides a procedure and methodology for the design of an electro-magnetic sensor based on induction due to ferromagnetic and pure electrically conduc-tive hidden targets. The electromagnetic sensor is made of one or several excitation coils, whi ...

Temperature-strain discrimination in distributed optical fiber sensing using phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

A method based on coherent Rayleigh scattering distinctly evaluating temperature and strain is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for distributed optical fiber sensing. Combining conventional phase-sensitive optical time-domain domain reflectometry ( ...

Fluorescence lifetime imaging using a single photon avalanche diode array sensor

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic, Samuel Burri

Single photon detectors allows us work with the weakest fluorescence signals. Single photon arrays, combined with ps-controlled gating allow us to create image maps of fluorescence lifetimes, which can be used for in-vivo discrimination of tissue activity. ...
