On the number of regions of piecewise linear neural networks

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon

Many feedforward neural networks (NNs) generate continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) mappings. Specifically, they partition the input domain into regions on which the mapping is affine. The number of these so-called linear regions offers a natural metric ...

Measuring electro-adhesion pressure before and after contact

Herbert Shea, Sylvain Thomas Schaller

Electro-adhesion (EA) is a low-power, tunable, fast and reversible electrically-controlled adhesion method, effective on both conducting and insulating objects. Typically, only the electro-adhesive detachment force, i.e., the force required to separate an ...

Company Town : To Provide and to Separate. An Open Letter to Giorgio Agamben [by] Vittorio Gregotti

Anna Karla De Almeida Milani

This letter, written by the architect Vittorio Gregotti to the philosopher Giorgio Agamben, was originally published in 1997 in the Italian Journal Rassegna, which Gregotti directed from 1979 to 1998. It is perhaps the very first time that a practicing arc ...

Identification of N-glycan positional isomers by combining IMS and vibrational fingerprinting of structurally determinant CID fragments

Thomas Rizzo, Ahmed Ben Faleh, Stephan Warnke, Priyanka Bansal

While glycans are present on the surface of cells in all living organisms and play key roles in most biological processes, their isomeric complexity makes their structural characterization challenging. Of particular importance are positional isomers, for w ...

Analysis of Polycerate Mutants Reveals the Evolutionary Co-option of HOXD1 for Horn Patterning in Bovidae

Denis Duboule

In the course of evolution, pecorans (i.e., higher ruminants) developed a remarkable diversity of osseous cranial appendages, collectively referred to as "headgear," which likely share the same origin and genetic basis. However, the nature and function of ...

More than a border effect. Ordinary politicization and struggles of belonging in a Swiss border municipality

Alexis Gumy, Garance Clément

Can living near a national border have an effect on the politicization of individuals? To answer this question, this article challenges the results put forward by some European Border Studies scholars granting the border a major role in the construction of ...

Arrested phase separation in chiral fluids of colloidal spinners

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We investigate phase separation in a chiral fluid, made of spinning ferromagnetic colloids that interact both via hydrodynamic and dipolar forces and collectively organize into separated circulating clusters. We show that, at high spinning frequency, hydro ...

Real-time Monitoring Reveals Dissolution/Redeposition Mechanism in Copper Nanocatalysts during the Initial Stages of the CO2 Reduction Reaction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Vasiliki Tileli, Tzu-Hsien Shen, Jan Vávra, Dragos-Constantin Stoian

Size, morphology, and surface sites of electrocatalysts have a major impact on their performance. Understanding how, when, and why these parameters change under operating conditions is of importance for designing stable, active, and selective catalysts. He ...

Producing highly complicated materials. Nature does it better

Gervais Chapuis

Through the years, mineralogical studies have produced a tremendous amount of data on the atomic arrangement and mineral properties. Quite often, structural analysis has led to elucidate the role played by minor components, giving interesting insights into ...

BookTubing Across Regions: Examining Differences based on Nonverbal and Verbal Cues

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Dinesh Babu Jayagopi

BookTubers are a rapidly growing community in YouTube who shares content related to books. Previous literature has addressed problems related to automatically analyzing opinions and mood of video logs (vlogs) as a generic category in YouTube. Unfortunately ...

A Universal Assay for Aminopeptidase Activity and Its Application for Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Drug Discovery

Gerardo Turcatti, Elena Goun, Marc Chambon, Arkadiy Bazhin, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, James William Collins

Aminopeptidases, such as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4, CD26), are potent therapeutic targets for pharmacological interventions because they play key roles in many important pathological pathways. To analyze amino-peptidase activity in vitro (including hig ...

Structural Sensitivities in Bimetallic Catalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction Revealed by Ag-Cu Nanodimers

Raffaella Buonsanti, Emad Oveisi, Mounir Driss Mensi, Valeria Mantella, Jianfeng Huang

Understanding the structural and compositional sensitivities of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is fundamentally important for developing highly efficient and selective electrocatalysts. Here, we use Ag/Cu nanocrystals to uncover the key ...

The diversity of moral preferences: Evolutionary foundations and some implications in environmental economics

Boris Thurm

Empirical evidence suggests that there exists substantial heterogeneity in individuals' social preferences. However, there is little theoretical basis supporting this observation and economic models often assume that all individuals are identical. Hence, t ...

Reduced models for parallel magnetic field fluctuations and their impact on pressure gradient driven MHD instabilities in axisymmetric toroidal plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti, Samuel Lanthaler

It is well known that parallel magnetic field fluctuations are connected with finite plasma beta effects. It can therefore be expected that Reduced Models that simplify or neglect the parallel magnetic field may not capture the salient physics of all types ...

Consommations énergétiques et cadres de vie : analyses en termes de modes de vie

Lorris Tabbone

The detailed analysis of energy consumption requires a global approach to behaviour and individual action registers. This makes it possible to investigate the question between the different spheres of activity of people, from housing to habitat and from ha ...

Tailoring Copper Nanocrystals towards C-2 Products in Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice

Favoring the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) over the hydrogen evolution reaction and controlling the selectivity towards multicarbon products are currently major scientific challenges in sustainable energy research. It is known that the morphology of the c ...

Training on the Job: Behavioral Analysis of Job Interviews in Hospitality

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Laurent Son Nguyen, Skanda Muralidhar

First impressions play a critical role in the hospitality industry and have been shown to be closely linked to the behavior of the person being judged. In this work, we implemented a behavioral training framework for hospitality students with the goal of i ...

Controlling the nonlinear optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles with the phase of their linear response

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi, Kuang-Yu Yang

We numerically investigate the second harmonic generation from different plasmonic systems and evidence the key role played in their nonlinear response by the phase at the fundamental wavelength. In the case of a single plasmonic nanorod, the interference ...

Photo-transformation of pedogenic humic acid and consequences for Cd(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II) speciation and bioavailability to green microalga

Pascal Miéville

Humic substances (HS) play key role in toxic metal binding and protecting aquatic microorganisms from metal-induced stress. Any environmental changes that could alter HS concentration and reactivity can be expected to modify metal complexation and thus aff ...
