The Distortion of Distributed Voting

Voting can abstractly model any decision-making scenario and as such it has been extensively studied over the decades. Recently, the related literature has focused on quantifying the impact of utilizing only limited information in the voting process on the ...

On Decoupling Chemical Reaction Systems : Methods, Analysis and Applications

Sriniketh Srinivasan

Chemical reaction systems act as the basis to get the desired products from raw materials. An in-depth understanding of all the underlying rate processes is necessary for monitoring, control and optimization of chemical reaction systems. Traditional repres ...

Calibration-free imaging through a multicore fiber using speckle scanning microscopy

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Nicolino Stasio

The images produced by multicore endoscopes are pixe-lated, and their resolution is limited by the core-to-core spacing. Lenses can be used to improve the resolution, but this reduces the field of view proportionally. Lensless endoscopy through multicore f ...

Online Collaborative Prediction of Regional Vote Results

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Vincent Etter

We consider online predictions of vote results, where regions across a country vote on an issue under discussion. Such online predictions before and during the day of the vote are useful to media agencies, polling institutes, and political parties, e.g., t ...

Novel Readout Circuit for Memristive Biosensors in Cancer Detection

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Puppo, Ali Zaher

We present a novel circuit for the automated and quick characterization of an array of experimental memristive nanowires that are functionalized as biosensors. Successfully functionalized nanowires will express the concentration of target molecules by hyst ...

Evidence for TiON sputtered surfaces showing accelerated antibacterial activity under simulated solar irradiation

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Michaël Bensimon, Sami Rtimi

New evidence is reported for TiON sputtered polyester surfaces activated by sunlight irradiation leading to the accelerated bacterial inactivation in the minute range. The absorption in Kubelka-Munk units of the TiON film was observed to be directly propor ...

Improved overlap speech diarization of meeting recordings using long-term conversational features

Hervé Bourlard, Sree Harsha Yella

Overlapping speech is a source of significant errors in speaker diarization of spontaneous meeting recordings. Recent works on speaker diarization have attempted to solve the problem of overlap detection using classifiers trained on acoustic and spatial fe ...

MEMS for space

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Sebastian Gautsch, Wilfried Noell

Future space exploration will emphasize on cost effectiveness and highly focused mission objectives. Missions costs are directly proportional to its total weight, thus, the trend will be to replace bulky and heavy components of space carriers, communicatio ...

Revocation Games in Ephemeral Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Maxime Raya

A frequently proposed solution to node misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks is to use reputation systems. But in ephemeral networks - a new breed of mobile networks where contact times between nodes are short and neighbors change frequently - reputations ...
