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 propose the use of a high-refractive index glass microsphere in combination with a conventional fluorescence microscope for imaging sub-cellular organelles and biomolecules. The microsphere is placed on a sample that is immersed in water, collects the n ...
Many cellular processes require or depend on mechanical feedback from the cell's micro-environment. For example, the local organization of the actin cytoskeleton is known to adapt to the physical properties of the extracellular matrix. To gain better under ...
Due to high scaling order of MP2 and CCSD(T) methods, it is either difficult or at times even impossible to treat even moderately sized molecular systems with elaborate basis sets such as aug-cc-pVXZ (X = D, T, Q). In the present work, several structures o ...
Many clustering methods are designed for especial cluster types or have good performance dealing with particular size and shape of clusters. The main problem in this connection is how to define a similarity (or dissimilarity) criterion to make an algorithm ...
A waterborne latex-based technique, in which functionalized laponite is attached to PS and acrylic latex particles, is used to prepare films containing up to 50 wt% laponite. At high laponite contents this leads to a cellular arrangement of the laponite-ri ...
Distributed processing over networks relies on in-network processing and cooperation among neighboring agents. Cooperation is beneficial when all agents share the same objective or belong to the same group. However, if agents belong to different clusters o ...
Nanosized TiO2 (nanoTiO2) is one of the most widely used nanomaterials, with applications ranging from paints, self-cleaning coatings, pharmaceuticals, to food and cosmetics. In spite of this massive use of nanoTiO2, its biological activity and toxicity re ...
The development of some solid tumors is associated with overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and often correlates with poor prognosis. Near field scanning optical microscopy, a technique with subdiffraction-limited optical resoluti ...
Transport of individual cells or chemical payloads on a subcellular scale is an enabling tool for the study of cellular com- munication, cell migration, and other localized phenomena. We present a magnetically actuated robotic system capable of fully autom ...
We present a deformable cell culture system based on dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA). Understanding how the mechanical environment can affect cells functions could lead to significant advances in diseases diagnosis and drug development. Most available ...
