Statistical Emulation of Neural Simulators: Application to Neocortical L2/3 Large Basket Cells

Idan Segev, Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit

Many scientific systems are studied using computer codes that simulate the phenomena of interest. Computer simulation enables scientists to study a broad range of possible conditions, generating large quantities of data at a faster rate than the laboratory ...

Doppelganger-based training: Imitating our virtual self to accelerate interpersonal skills learning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Marion Sandy Curdy

Interpersonal skills require mastering a wide range of competencies such as communication and adaptation to different situations. Effective training includes the use of videos in which role models perform the desired behaviours such that trainees can learn ...

The population genetics of crypsis in vertebrates: recent insights from mice, hares, and lizards

Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Stefan Jean Laurent, Kristen Kay Irwin

By combining well-established population genetic theory with high-throughput sequencing data from natural populations, major strides have recently been made in understanding how, why, and when vertebrate populations evolve crypsis. Here, we focus on backgr ...

Insect-Inspired Visual Perception for Flight Control and Collision Avoidance

Julien Jean Denis Nicolas Lecoeur

Flying robots are increasingly used for tasks such as aerial mapping, fast exploration, video footage and monitoring of buildings. Autonomous flight at low altitude in cluttered and unknown environments is an active research topic because it poses challen ...

A Miniaturized Insect Eye Inspired Multi-camera Real-time Panoramic Imaging System

Ömer Cogal

During the last 50 years miniaturization became a key element in human history, since it opens doors for manufacturing new devices that enhances the quality of human life. Camera and imaging systems are following this miniaturization trend as well. Meanwhi ...

Electronic Elements Governing the Binding of Small Molecules to a [Fe]-hydrogenase Mimic

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

[Fe]-hydrogenase, one of three types of hydrogenases, activates molecular hydrogen. Here, using DFT computations, we examine the electronic elements governing the binding of small ligands to a recently synthesized [Fe]-hydrogenase biomimic. Computed reacti ...

Engineering the Regenerative Microenvironment with Biomaterials

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Modern synthetic biomaterials are being designed to integrate bioactive ligands within hydrogel scaffolds for cells to respond and assimilate within the matrix. These advanced biomaterials are only beginning to be used to simulate the complex spatio-tempor ...

Full-duplex Communication and Remote Powering Implementation of an Electronic Knee Implant

Catherine Dehollain, Oguz Atasoy

Full-duplex communication is realized by using ASK modulation for downlink (the channel from controller to the implant) and by using FSK modulation for uplink (from implant to the controller). The ASK modulation is done at the remote powering frequency and ...

Chiral Monodentate Trialkylphosphines Based on the Phospholane Architecture

Nicolai Cramer, Tanguy Jean Daniel Saget, Pavel Alexandrovich Donets

The development of efficient chiral monodentate phosphine ligands lags behind that of the bidentate congeners. This holds especially true for highly electron rich chiral phosphine analogues able to replace the ubiquitous tricyclohexylphosphine and tri-tert ...

Topological Measure Locating the Effective Crossover between Segregation and Integration in a Modular Network

Ali Ajdari Rad

We introduce an easily computable topological measure which locates the effective crossover between segregation and integration in a modular network. Segregation corresponds to the degree of network modularity, while integration is expressed in terms of th ...

Developmental and metabolic brain alterations in rats exposed to bisphenol A during gestation and lactation

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

In recent years, considerable research has focused on the biological effect of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been implicated as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) due to its ability to mimic the action of endogenous estrogenic h ...

Stochastic Chaplygin Systems

Simon Hochgerner

We mimic the stochastic Hamiltonian reduction of Lazaro-Cami and Ortega [18, 19] for the case of certain nonholonomic systems with symmetries. ...

A nonradial coarse-grained potential for proteins produces naturally stable secondary structure elements

Matteo Dal Peraro, Michele Cascella, Davide Alemani

We introduce a nonradial potential term for coarse-grained (CG) molecular simulations of proteins. This term mimics the backbone dipole−dipole interactions and accounts for the needed directionality to form stable folded secondary structure elements. We sh ...

Microlenses on Bragg Reflectors to Create Iridescent Colors

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf

In nature strong colors play an important role in scaring away predators or finding a mate. Often, the strongest and brightest colors arise from coherent scattering and reflection on periodic structures on a length scale of several micro- or nanometers. Un ...
