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 ...

On the probabilistic nature of the species-area relation

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan, Andrea Giometto, Jonathan Giezendanner, Silvia Zaoli

The Species-Area Relation (SAR), which describes the increase in the number of species S with increasing area A, is under intense scrutiny in contemporary ecology, in particular to probe its reliability in predicting the number of species going extinct as ...

Exploring the diversity of social preferences: Is a heterogeneous population evolutionarily stable under assortative matching?

Charles Chadi Ayoubi, Boris Thurm

Why do individuals make different decisions when confronted with similar choices? This paper investigates whether the answer lies in an evolutionary process. Our analysis builds on recent work in evolutionary game theory showing the superiority of a given ...

AFM-Based Single Molecule Techniques: Unraveling the Amyloid Pathogenic Species

Giovanni Dietler, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Andrea Cerreta

Background: A wide class of human diseases and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, is due to the failure of a specific peptide or protein to keep its native functional conformational state and to undergo a conformational change into a ...

Stability analysis of ecomorphodynamic equations

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy

In order to shed light on the influence of riverbed vegetation on river morphodynamics, we perform a linear stability analysis on a minimal model of vegetation dynamics coupled with classical one- and two-dimensional Saint-Venant-Exner equations of morphod ...

Ammonia as an in-situ sanitizer: influence of virus genome type on inactivation

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey

Treatment of human excreta and animal manure (HEAM) is key in controlling the spread of persistent enteric pathogens such as viruses. The extent of virus inactivation during HEAM storage and treatment appeared to vary with virus genome type, though the rea ...

Experimental evidence for strong stabilizing forces at high functional diversity of aquatic microbial communities

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt, Francesco Carrara

Unveiling the mechanisms that promote coexistence in biological communities is a fundamental problem in ecology. Stable coexistence of many species is commonly observed in natural communities. Most of these natural communities, however, are composed of spe ...

Light Availability Prevails Over Soil Fertility and Structure in the Performance of Asian Knotweeds on Riverbanks: New Management Perspectives

Thomas Spiegelberger

Asian knotweeds (Fallopia spp.) are considered one of the world's most invasive species. Restoring habitats dominated by these exotic species requires a better understanding of the importance of abiotic factors controlling the invasive knotweeds performanc ...

Dynamical growth behavior of copper clusters during electrodeposition

Giorgio Margaritondo

Ultrahigh resolution full-field transmission x-ray microscopy enabled us to observe detailed phenomena during the potentiostatic copper electrodeposition on polycrystalline gold. We detected two coexisting cluster populations with different sizes. Their gr ...

The influence of competition from herbaceous vegetation and shade on simulated browsing tolerance of coniferous and deciduous saplings

Alexandre Buttler, Charlotte Vandenberghe

The ability of saplings to tolerate browsing (i.e. the ability to persist with reduced biomass and to compensate for biomass loss) is influenced by the level of stress and their growth strategies. Ultimately, insight into species-specific responses of sapl ...

Some results for long-range exclusion processes

Thomas Mountford

We examine the long-range exclusion process introduced by Spitzer and studied by Liggett and answer some of the open questions raised by Liggett. In particular, we show the existence of equilibria corresponding to bounded dual harmonic functions and that t ...
