From Marshall Plan to “Hilton in the wild”: The Transnational History of a Cooperative Housing Block in Esat, Ankara

This paper concerns the planning, design, and construction history of a postwar multifamily housing block in Ankara, Turkey, viewed from the perspective of the transnational and local networks behind its realization. Built by the Mintrak Building Cooperati ...

A high-cooperativity, nano-optomechanical system comprised of high stress Si3N4

Tobias Kippenberg, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Nils Johan Engelsen

We report the design fabrication and characterization of a monolithic nano-optomechanical transducer comprised of high stress silicon nitride (Si3N4). Our system features a one dimensional Fabry-Perot photonic crystal cavity (Q approximate to 10(5)) integr ...

Cooperative or undifferentiated: Two visions for housing

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

Throughout Europe, the dominant housing production practices of the last century seem to be running out of steam. Housing is looking for a future. The weakening of the power of the state, the instability of the markets and the ecological emergency have led ...

Caching in Heterogeneous Networks With Per-File Rate Constraints

Giuseppe Cocco

We study the problem of caching optimization in heterogeneous networks with mutual interference and per-file rate constraints from an energy efficiency perspective. A setup is considered in which two cache-enabled transmitter nodes and a coordinator node s ...

A Survey on Interdependent Privacy

Kévin Clément Huguenin, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Benjamin Trubert

The privacy of individuals does not only depend on their own actions and data but may also be affected by the privacy decisions and by the data shared by others individuals. This interdependence is an essential aspect of privacy and ignoring it can lead to ...

Transforming scholarship in the archives through handwritten text recognition Transkribus as a case study

Frédéric Kaplan, Sofia Ares Oliveira

Purpose An overview of the current use of handwritten text recognition (HTR) on archival manuscript material, as provided by the EU H2020 funded Transkribus platform. It explains HTR, demonstrates Transkribus, gives examples of use cases, highlights the af ...

Computational support for a scaffolding mechanism of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel

Centrioles are essential for forming cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Successful centriole assembly requires proteins of the SAS-6 family, which can form oligomeric ring structures with ninefold symmetry in vitro. While important progress has been made in ...

A System Implementation and Evaluation of a Cooperative Fusion and Tracking Algorithm based on a Gaussian Mixture PHD Filter

Alcherio Martinoli, Milos Vasic, David Mansolino

This paper focuses on a real system implementation, analysis, and evaluation of a cooperative sensor fusion algorithm based on a Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GM-PHD) filter, using simulated and real vehicles endowed with automotive-grad ...

Analysis of Traffic Performance of a Merging Assistant Strategy Using Cooperative Vehicles

Riccardo Scarinci

Emerging in-car communication technologies continually offer new communication capabilities between vehicles and infrastructure that, together with more accurate positioning systems, can be used to improve the use of current infrastructure. The aim of this ...

Multi-Agent Learning for Resource Allocation Problems

Ludek Cigler

We analyze resource allocation problems where N independent agents want to access C resources. Each resource can be only accessed by one agent at a time. In order to use the resources efficiently, the agents need to coordinate their access. We focus on dec ...

Size-Dependent LCST Transitions of Polymer-Coated Gold Nanoparticles: Cooperative Aggregation and Surface Assembly

Harm-Anton Klok, Dusko Paripovic, Matthew Gibson

Nanoparticles working together. Thermoresponsive polymer-coated nanoparticles are shown to display size dependent, cooperative, lower critical solution temperature behavior. This is exploited to direct the assembly of appropriate nanoparticles onto complem ...

Snapshots of cooperative atomic motions in the optical suppression of charge density waves

Helmuth Berger

Macroscopic quantum phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, ferrimagnetism and ferromagnetism arise from a delicate balance of different interactions among electrons, phonons and spins on the nanoscale(1). The stud ...

Leveraging Social Networks for Increased BitTorrent Robustness

Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

In peer-to-peer content delivery systems, such as BitTorrent, there may exist nodes that are non-cooperative and do not contribute their upload bandwidth to the system while still downloading content from others. The current widely used countermeasures aga ...

A Hamilton-Jacobi Formulation for Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems

Denis Gillet, Sylvain Rudaz, Hajir Roozbehani

Coordination of autonomous non-point agents is studied in this work. Interactions between vehicles together with their internal dynamics have been modeled as a continuous, unconstrained differential game. In particular, collision prediction is shown to be ...

Temperature Dependence of Normal Mode Reconstructions of Protein Dynamics

Paolo De Los Rios, Francesco Piazza

Normal mode (NM) analysis is a widely used technique for reconstructing conformational changes of proteins from the knowledge of native structures. In this Letter, we investigate to what extent NMs capture the salient features of the dynamics over a range ...
