Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
We give an overview of our recent work on ultrafast dynamics of chemical (organic dyes, metal-complexes, colloidal quantum dots), and biological (retinal and haem proteins) systems in the liquid phase, studied with a variety of ultrafast optical techniques ...
Adaptive filtering is a topic of immense practical and theoretical value, having applications in areas ranging from digital and wireless communications to biomedical systems. This book enables readers to gain a gradual and solid introduction to the subject ...
(Z)-(3,3-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)methyllithium can be readily generated by treatment of (Z)-3-bromomethylene-2,2-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane with Me3CLi. At -75 Deg, the organometallic intermediate is configurationally stable and reacts with ...
N-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]pyrrole was found to be amenable to selective a-metalation. Trapping with a variety of electrophilic reagents afforded the expected products with moderate to high yields. Derivs. formed by treatment of the organometallic intermed ...
We compare the lifetimes of series systems with different allocations of active redundancy using a variety of stochastic comparisons. It is assumed that only one spare can be allocated to each component of the system. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights rese ...
A highly enantioselective and diastereoselective inverse electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between a variety of alpha,beta-unsatd. aldehydes and Et vinyl ether is described. The reaction is catalyzed by a chiral tridentate chromium(III) Schiff ba ...
Silyl enol ethers of esters, ketones, as well as allylstannane and allylsilanes react with sulfur dioxide activated with t-BuMe2SiOSO2CF3 to give silyl sulfinates that can be reacted in the same pot with a variety of electrophiles generating the correspond ...
Let B be a positive quaternion algebra, and let O subset of B be an Eichler order. There is associated, in a natural way, a variety X = X(O) the connected components of which are indexed by the ideal classes of O and are isomorphic to spheres. This variety ...
This paper provides an overview of the SWARM-BOTS project, a robotic project sponsored by the Future and Emerging Technologies program of the European Community (IST-2000-31010). The paper illustrates the robot hardware, and the results of experimental wor ...
