Cycle In Cycle Generative Adversarial Networks for Keypoint-Guided Image Generation

Yan Yan, Wei Wang, Gaowen Liu

In this work, we propose a novel Cycle In Cycle Generative Adversarial Network (C2GAN) for the task of keypoint-guided image generation. The proposed C2GAN is a cross-modal framework exploring a joint exploitation of the keypoint and the image data in an i ...

Active contraction of cardiac cells: a reduced model for sarcomere dynamics with cooperative interactions

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Francesco Regazzoni

We propose a reduced ODE model for the mechanical activation of cardiac myofilaments, which is based on explicit spatial representation of nearest-neighbour interactions. Our model is derived from the cooperative Markov Chain model of Washio et al. (Cell M ...

Wearable System with Integrated Passive Microfluidics for Real-Time Electrolyte Sensing in Human Sweat

Erick Antonio Garcia Cordero

Wearable systems embodied as patches could offer noninvasive and real-time solutions for monitoring of biomarkers in human sweat as an alternative to blood testing, with applications in personalized and preventive healthcare. Sweat is considered to be a bi ...

Streaming Robust Submodular Maximization: A Partitioned Thresholding Approach

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Jakub Tarnawski

We study the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint k, with two additional twists: (i) elements arrive in a streaming fashion and (ii) m items from the algorithm’s memory might be removed after th ...

The creativity trap : semantic and pragmatic study of creative capitalism

Mischa-Sébastien Piraud

The urban order has fashioned a new grammar. In literal terms, the theories of the creative class, creative economy and creative city function as a unit that is both descriptive and prescriptive; they have the advantage of taking into account the utility o ...

TimeRank: A dynamic approach to rate scholars using citations

Giovanni Colavizza, Massimo Franceschet

Rating has become a common practice of modern science. No rating system can be considered as final, but instead several approaches can be taken, which magnify different aspects of the fabric of science. We introduce an approach for rating scholars which us ...

The genomic landscape of human cellular circadian variation points to a novel role for the signalosome

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Konstantin Popadin, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin

The importance of natural gene expression variation for human behavior is undisputed, but its impact on circadian physiology remains mostly unexplored. Using umbilical cord fibroblasts, we have determined by genome-wide association how common genetic varia ...

The Ligand Aspect Ratio as a Decisive Factor for the Self-Assembly of Coordination Cages

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Philip Pattison, Euro Solari, Konstantin Zhurov, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Giacomo Cecot, Matthew David Wise, Alba Finelli

It is possible to control the geometry and the composition of metallasupramolecular assemblies via the aspect ratio of their ligands. This point is demonstrated for a series of iron- and palladium-based coordination cages. Functionalized clathrochelate com ...

Determining The Potential Of Salinity Gradient Energy Source Using An Exergy Analysis

Arash Emdadi

Mixing of fresh (river) water and salty water (seawater or saline brine) in a control fashion would produces an electrical energy known as salinity gradient energy (SGE). Two main conversion technologies of SGE are membrane-based processes; pressure retard ...

A heterometallic macrocycle as a redox-controlled molecular hinge

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Clément Schouwey, Marcus Papmeyer

The ability to modify the structure of nanoscopic assemblies in a controlled fashion is an important prerequisite for the creation of functional supramolecular systems. Here, we describe a heterometallic Pt2Cu2-macrocycle which behaves as a molecular hinge ...

Distributionally Robust Multi-Item Newsvendor Problems with Multimodal Demand Distributions

Daniel Kuhn, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto

We present a risk-averse multi-dimensional newsvendor model for a class of products whose demands are strongly correlated and subject to fashion trends that are not fully understood at the time when orders are placed. The demand distribution is known to be ...

When crowding of crowding leads to uncrowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

In object recognition, features are thought to be processed in a hierarchical fashion from low-level analysis (edges and lines) to complex figural processing (shapes and objects). Here, we show that figural processing determines low-level processing. Verni ...
