Theory-guided development of homogeneous catalysts for the reduction of CO2 to formate, formaldehyde, and methanol derivatives

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Matthew Wodrich, Shubhajit Das

The stepwise catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid, formaldehyde, and methanol opens non-fossil pathways to important platform chemicals. The present article aims at identifying molecular control parameters to steer the selectivity to ...

Western listeners detect boundary hierarchy in Indian music: a segmentation study

Martin Alois Rohrmeier

How are listeners able to follow and enjoy complex pieces of music? Several theoretical frameworks suggest links between the process of listening and the formal structure of music, involving a division of the musical surface into structural units at multip ...

KRAB zinc finger protein-mediated control of transposon-embedded regulatory sequences from human germline to early embryos

Alexandra Iouranova

Transposable elements (TEs), also called jumping genes, are genetic elements capable of changing their position within the genome of their host. They make up large fractions of genomes, including 45% of human DNA content, according to current estimates. S ...

How ageing shapes body and space representations: A comparison study between healthy young and older adults

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

To efficiently interact with the external world, the brain needs to represent the size of the involved body parts - body representations (BR) - and the space around the body in which the interactions with the environment take place - peripersonal space rep ...

Life-Cycle Assessment as a decision-support tool for early phases of urban planning: evaluating applicability through a comparative approach

Marilyne Andersen, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Émilie Nault

While ambitious environmental objectives are being set for new constructions in Switzerland, the assessment of urban-scale projects and comparison of their performance to national targets are made possible by a growing number of life-cycle assessment (LCA) ...

Segmentation of Developing Human Embryo in Time-lapse Microscopy

Mathieu Salzmann

Being able to efficiently segment a developing embryo from background clutter constitutes an important step in automated monitoring of human embryonic cells. State-of-the-art automatic segmentation methods remain ill-suited to handle the complex behavior a ...

Merging microfluidics and micro-array concepts: from molecular to nematode-based bioassays

Matteo Cornaglia

Essential in biomedical research is the necessity of gathering statistically relevant data about large populations of specific biological entities, e.g. organisms, cells or molecules, while preserving detailed information about each single entity under in ...

Learning with tensors: a framework based on convex optimization and spectral regularization

Quoc Tran Dinh

We present a framework based on convex optimization and spectral regularization to perform learning when feature observations are multidimensional arrays (tensors). We give a mathematical characterization of spectral penalties for tensors and analyze a uni ...

The intense world theory - a unifying theory of the neurobiology of autism

Henry Markram, Kamila Markram

Autism covers a wide spectrum of disorders for which there are many views, hypotheses and theories. Here we propose a unifying theory of autism, the Intense World Theory. The proposed neuropathology is hyper-functioning of local neural microcircuits, best ...

Perspective on the Development of Lead-free Piezoceramics

Dragan Damjanovic

A large body of work has been reported in the last 5 years on the development of lead-free piezoceramics in the quest to replace lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) as the main material for electromechanical devices such as actuators, sensors, and transducers. I ...

Intrinsic Motivation Systems for Autonomous Mental Development

Frédéric Kaplan

Exploratory activities seem to be intrinsicallyrewarding for children and crucial for their cognitive development. Can a machine be endowed with such an intrinsic motivation system? This is the question we study in this paper, presenting a number of comput ...
