GELEX: Generative AI-Hybrid System for Example-Based Learning

Paola Mejia Domenzain, Aybars Yazici, Tanja Christina Käser Jacober, Jibril Albachir Frej

Traditional example-based learning methods are often limited by static, expert-created content. Hence, they face challenges in scalability, engagement, and effectiveness, as some learners might struggle to relate to the examples or find them relevant. To a ...

Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14

Kathrin Tomasek

A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability of the pathogen to evade the host's immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and establish pe ...

Travel Time and Source Variation Explain the Molecular Transformation of Dissolved Organic Matter in an Alpine Stream Network

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Amber Joy Ulseth

Streams and rivers are important components of the carbon cycle as they transport and transform dissolved organic matter (DOM). Using high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, we studied the spatial distribution of DOM at ...

Consolidation of database check constraints

Nikola Obrenovic

Independent modeling of various modules of an information system (IS), and consequently database subschemas, may result in formal or semantic conflicts between the modules being modeled. Such conflicts may cause collisions between the integrated database s ...

Appearance of polished 18 karat gold surfaces: linking aesthetics to surface features

Leili Batooli

Impeccable appearance of surfaces is a key constraint in high-end jewelry and watch manufacturing. Based on long tradition in the industry, appearance of products is assessed by trained individuals through visual inspection in designated intervals on the p ...

Capturing the spatiotemporal dynamics of self-generated, task-initiated thoughts with EEG and fMRI

Rolf Gruetter, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Lucie Bréchet

The temporal structure of self-generated cognition is a key attribute to the formation of a meaningful stream of consciousness. When at rest, our mind wanders from thought to thought in distinct mental states. Despite the marked importance of ongoing menta ...

A phase-change memory model for neuromorphic computing

Irem Boybat Kara, Evangelos Eleftheriou, Abu Sebastian

Phase-change memory (PCM) is an emerging non-volatile memory technology that is based on the reversible and rapid phase transition between the amorphous and crystalline phases of certain phase-change materials. The ability to alter the conductance levels i ...

An Indicator-Based Approach for Analyzing the Resilience of Transitions for Energy Regions. Part I: Theoretical and Conceptual Considerations

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Susan Marie Mühlemeier

The transition of our current energy system from a fossil-based system to a system based on renewables is likely to be one of the most complex and long-term societal transitions in history. The need for a fundamental system transformation raises the questi ...

Augmenting Learning Activities with Contextual Information Scent

Nan Li

Students often have information needs while carrying out a multitude of learning activities at universities. When information is needed for investigating a problem, the student may interrupt the work and switch to an information seeking task. As Internet c ...

Metabolic modeling and experimental studies on carbon and energy metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Muhittin Emre Özdemir

Tuberculosis is an ancient human disease affecting millions of people every year. The common causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a peculiar pathogen that can persist in the host tissues for decades. Many of the key attributes of M. tuberculosis ...

New Impossible Differential and Known-Key Distinguishers for the 3D Cipher

Jorge Nakahara

The contributions of this paper are new 6-round impossible-differential (ID) and 9.75-round known-key distinguishers for the 3D block cipher. The former was constructed using the miss-in-the-middle technique, while the latter with an inside-out technique. ...

'Glocal' Robustness Analysis and Model Discrimination for Circadian Oscillators

Martin Hasler, Marc Hafner

To characterize the behavior and robustness of cellular circuits with many unknown parameters is a major challenge for systems biology. Its difficulty rises exponentially with the number of circuit components. We here propose a novel analysis method to mee ...

Evaluating automated parameter constraining procedures of neuron models by experimental and surrogate data

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Thomas Berger, Felix Schürmann, Idan Segev

Neuron models, in particular conductance-based compartmental models, often have numerous parameters that cannot be directly determined experimentally and must be constrained by an optimization procedure. A common practice in evaluating the utility of such ...
