On the optimal sampling design for the Graph Total Variation decoder: recovering piecewise-constant graph signals from a few vertex measurements

Compressed Sensing teaches us that measurements can be traded for offline computation if the signal being sensed has a simple enough representation. Proper decoders can exactly recover the high-dimensional signal of interest from a lower-dimensional vector ...

Stability of spatial patterns in water chemistry across temperate ecoregions

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Human activity has polluted freshwater ecosystems across the planet, harming biodiversity, human health, and the economy. Improving water quality depends on identifying pollutant sources in river networks, but pollutant concentrations fluctuate in time. Co ...

Mirrored Langevin Dynamics

Volkan Cevher, Paul Thierry Yves Rolland, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Ali Kavis

We consider the problem of sampling from constrained distributions, which has posed significant challenges to both non-asymptotic analysis and algorithmic design. We propose a unified framework, which is inspired by the classical mirror descent, to derive ...

Tidal Interactions and Mergers in Intermediate-redshift EDisCS Clusters

Pascale Jablonka

We study the fraction of tidal interactions and mergers (TIMs) with well-identified observability timescales (f(TIM)) in group, cluster, and accompanying field galaxies and its dependence on redshift (z), cluster velocity dispersion (sigma), and environmen ...

A Sampling Theory for Non-Decaying Signals

Michaël Unser, Quy Ha Nguyen

The classical assumption in sampling and spline theories is that the input signal is square-integrable, which prevents us from applying such techniques to signals that do not decay or even grow at infinity. In this paper, we develop a sampling theory for m ...

Towards Generalized FRI Sampling with an Application to Source Resolution in Radioastronomy

Martin Vetterli, Thierry Blu, Hanjie Pan

It is a classic problem to estimate continuous-time sparse signals, like point sources in a direction-of-arrival problem, or pulses in a time-of-flight measurement. The earliest occurrence is the estimation of sinusoids in time series using Prony's method. ...

The Pristine survey - III. Spectroscopic confirmation of an efficient search for extremely metal-poor stars

Pascale Jablonka, Marc Gentile

The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the Ca II H&K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely metal-poor stars. In this work, we use the first results of amedium-resolution spe ...

The population genomics of rapid adaptation: disentangling signatures of selection and demography in white sands lizards

Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Stefan Jean Laurent, Nicky Louise Ormond

Understanding the process of adaptation during rapid environmental change remains one of the central focal points of evolutionary biology. The recently formed White Sands system of southern New Mexico offers an outstanding example of rapid adaptation, with ...

Sampling and Reconstruction of Shapes with Algebraic Boundaries

Martin Vetterli, Arash Amini, Mitra Fatemi

We present a sampling theory for a class of binary images with finite rate of innovation (FRI). Every image in our model is the restriction of

\mathds{1}_{\{p\leq0\}}

to the image plane, where

\mathds{1}

denotes the indicator function and

p

is some r ...

Two-photon imaging through a multimode fiber

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Edgar Emilio Morales Delgado

In this work we demonstrate 3D imaging using two-photon excitation through a 20 cm long multimode optical fiber (MMF) of 350 mu m diameter. The imaging principle is similar to single photon fluorescence through a MMF, except that a focused femtosecond puls ...

Qualitative link between work of adhesion and thermal conductance of metal/diamond interfaces

Christian Monachon, Ludger Weber, Efthimios Kaxiras, Georg Schusteritsch

We report Time-Domain ThermoReflectance experiments measuring the Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) of interfaces between diamond and metal surfaces, based on samples consisting of [111] diamond substrates with hydrogen or with sp2 carbon surface terminat ...

Sampling based on timing: Time encoding machines on shift-invariant subspaces

Martin Vetterli, David Gontier

Sampling information using timing is an approach that has received renewed attention in sampling theory. The question is how to map amplitude information into the timing domain. One such encoder, called time encoding machine, was introduced by Lazar and To ...

The role of leptin, melanocortin, and neurotrophin system genes on body weight in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa

Pierre Magistretti, Kai Wang

Objective: Although low weight is a key factor contributing to the high mortality in anorexia nervosa (AN), it is unclear how AN patients sustain low weight compared with bulimia nervosa (BN) patients with similar psychopathology. Studies of genes involved ...

The gradient distribution of Ni ions in cation-disordered Li[Ni1/2Mn3/2]O-4 clarified by muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu SR)

Martin Mansson

Cation-ordered Li[Ni1/2Mn3/2]O-4 with a P4(3)32 space group (CO-LNMO) and "cation-disordered'' (CDO) LNMO are thought to be the state-of-the-art materials for lithium-ion batteries. However, in contrast to CO-LNMO, the crystal structure and electrochemical ...
