Disagreement and fragmentation in growing groups

The arise of disagreement is an emergent phenomenon that can be observed within a growing social group and, beyond a certain threshold, can lead to group fragmentation. To better understand how disagreement emerges, we introduce an analytically tractable m ...

Synthesis of new 1-Vinyl and 1-Alkynyl Triazenes

Carl Thomas Bormann

The recent discovery of an N2O-based synthesis of triazenes in our group has enabled the synthesis and investigation of 1-alkynyl triazenes. Early studies showed their potential for a functional group tolerant synthesis of 1-vinyl triazenes, which is furth ...

Effect of Different Communication Affordances on the Emergence of Collaboration Strategies in an Online Multiplayer Game

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Aditi Kothiyal, Hala Khodr

In a group, the collective dynamics is governed by the inter- actions between individuals, which can manifest differently depending on the available means of communication. In this paper, we compare 3 conditions of communication affordances (global chat, l ...

Exploring Photoredox-Catalyzed (Re)functionalizations with Core-Modified Benziodoxolones

Jérôme Waser, Franck Le Vaillant, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos

Alkynes and nitriles are valuable building blocks in organic synthesis and also have multiple applications in chemical biology and materials science. Due to the high availability of tertiary alcohols, developing methods for their conversion into alkynes an ...

Removing Algorithmic Discrimination (With Minimal Individual Error)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Le Nguyen Hoang

We address for the first time the problem of correcting group discriminations within a score function, while minimizing the individual error. Each group is described by a probability density function on the set of profiles. We first solve the problem analy ...

De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available

Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...

Daily Contributors of Tinnitus Loudness and Distress: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Patrick Karl Alois Neff

BackgroundTinnitus is a heterogeneous condition which may be associated with moderate to severe disability, but the reasons why only a subset of individuals is burdened by the condition are not fully clear. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows a be ...

Subgroups of elliptic elements of the Cremona group

Christian Lucius Urech

The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a description of the struc ...

Uniformly perfect finitely generated simple left orderable groups

Yash Lodha

We show that the finitely generated simple left orderable groups G(rho) constructed by the first two authors in Hyde and Lodha [Finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line. Invent. Math. (2019), doi:10.1007/s00222-01900880- ...

Local excitations in amorphous solids

Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids are structurally disordered. They are very common and include glasses, colloids, and granular materials, but are far less understood than crystalline solids. Key aspects of these materials are controlled by the presence of excitations in w ...

Robust Differentiable SVD

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Wei Wang, Yinlin Hu, Zheng Dang

Eigendecomposition of symmetric matrices is at the heart of many computer vision algorithms. However, the derivatives of the eigenvectors tend to be numerically unstable, whether using the SVD to compute them analytically or using the Power Iteration (PI) ...

Advantages of patient-specific cutting guides with disposable instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty: a case control study

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is most frequently planned using conventional two-dimensional weight-bearing lower limb radiographs and is performed with conventional femoral and tibial cutting guides. Questions have been raised about the accuracy ...

Coherent actions by homeomorphisms on the real line or an interval

Yash Lodha

We study actions of groups by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on R (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at +/-infinity and contain a pair of elements of a certain dynamical type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such ...

Approximating nonabelian free groups by groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We show that for a large class C of finitely generated groups of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line, the following holds: Given a group G of rank k in C, there is a sequence of k-markings (G,S-n), n is an element of N whose limit in the ...

War of Words: The Competitive Dynamics of Legislative Processes

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Victor Kristof

A body of law is an example of a dynamic corpus of text documents that are jointly maintained by a group of editors who compete and collaborate in complex constellations. Our goal is to develop predictive models for this process, thereby shedding light on ...

Walking Speed of Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy: Laboratory Versus Daily Life

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff

The purpose of this pilot study was to compare walking speed, an important component of gait, in the laboratory and daily life, in young individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and with typical development (TD), and to quantify to what extent gait observed in ...

Efficient Verifiable Delay Functions

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We construct a verifiable delay function (VDF). A VDF is a function whose evaluation requires running a given number of sequential steps, yet the result can be efficiently verified. They have applications in decentralised systems, such as the generation of ...
