Sequence-dependent structural properties of B-DNA: what have we learned in 40 years?

John Maddocks, Daiva Petkeviciute, Rahul Sharma, Marco Pasi, Paolo Carloni

The structure of B-DNA, the physiological form of the DNA molecule, has been a central topic in biology, chemistry and physics. Far from uniform and rigid, the double helix was revealed as a flexible and structurally polymorphic molecule. Conformational ch ...

New perspectives for spatial planning in Switzerland: the role of ecosystem services

Rémi Jaligot

Spatial planning deals with the spatial expression of human activities in an integrated way to minimize their negative impacts on the natural and land systems. Rapid land use and land cover changes are important drivers of change of the benefits people der ...

Iterative Classroom Teaching

Pierre Dillenbourg, Volkan Cevher, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Louis Pierre Faucon, Shuqing Teresa Yeo, Kamalaruban Parameswaran

We consider the machine teaching problem in a classroom-like setting wherein the teacher has to deliver the same examples to a diverse group of students. Their diversity stems from differences in their initial internal states as well as their learning rate ...

Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...

Controlling the nonlinear optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles with the phase of their linear response

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Kuang-Yu Yang, Gabriel David Bernasconi

We numerically investigate the second harmonic generation from different plasmonic systems and evidence the key role played in their nonlinear response by the phase at the fundamental wavelength. In the case of a single plasmonic nanorod, the interference ...

From cardiac tissue engineering to heart-on-a-chip: beating challenges

Francesco Piraino

The heart is one of the most vital organs in the human body, which actively pumps the blood through the vascular network to supply nutrients to as well as to extract wastes from all other organs, maintaining the homeostasis of the biological system. Over t ...

Synergy of hyperspectral and microwave remote sensing data to derive bio- and geo-physical parameters for land applications

Jelena Stamenkovic

Retrieval of bio/geophysical variables from remote sensing imagery is an important research field. Due to the development and availability of different EO satellites, especially the ones with hyperspectral sensors, the combined use of radar and optical ima ...

Performance Assessment and Prognosis for Civil Infrastructure Based on Model Falsification Reasoning

Romain Pasquier

Infrastructure facilities are important to the economic growth and quality of life of modern societies. Much infrastructure has been built principally in the second half of the 20th century and several thousand structures are now attaining their design liv ...

Development and application of the adverse outcome pathway framework for understanding and predicting chronic toxicity: I. Challenges and research needs in ecotoxicology

Kristin Schirmer

To elucidate the effects of chemicals on populations of different species in the environment, efficient testing and modeling approaches are needed that consider multiple stressors and allow reliable extrapolation of responses across species. An adverse out ...

Data compression to define information content of hydrological time series

Marc Parlange, Steven Vincent Weijs, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen

When inferring models from hydrological data or calibrating hydrological models, we are interested in the information content of those data to quantify how much can potentially be learned from them. In this work we take a perspective from (algorithmic) inf ...

A Cognitive Reference Based Model for Learning Compositional Hierarchies with Whole-Composite Tags

Alain Wegmann, Anshuman Bahadur Saxena, Ashish Kishore Bindal

A compositional hierarchy is the default organization of knowledge acquired for the purpose of specifying the design requirements of a service. Existing methods for learning compositional hierarchies from natural language text, interpret composition as an ...

Data mining methodologies for supporting engineers during system identification

Sandro Saitta

Data alone are worth almost nothing. While data collection is increasing exponentially worldwide, a clear distinction between retrieving data and obtaining knowledge has to be made. Data are retrieved while measuring phenomena or gathering facts. Knowledge ...

Cryptographic protocol logic: Satisfaction for (timed) Dolev-Yao cryptography

Simon Kramer

This article is about a breadth-first exploration of logical concepts in cryptography and their linguistic abstraction and model-theoretic combination in a comprehensive logical system, called CPL (for Cryptographic Protocol Logic). We focus on two fundame ...

Validation of the performance of a new bidirectional video-goniophotometer

Marilyne Andersen

An accurate knowledge of the directional optical properties of advanced fenestration materials is necessary for them to be adequately integrated in buildings. These properties are expressed by the Bidirectional Transmission (or Reflection) Distribution Fun ...
