Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Christian Sachse

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...

DNA-protein interactions explored by atomic force microscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas

DNA-protein interactions play an important role in all living organisms on Earth. The advent of atomic force microscopy permitted for the first time to follow and to characterize interaction forces between these two molecular species. After a short descrip ...

Between the Lines: On the Explicit and Implicit in Writing and Building

Matthew Skjonsberg

Narratives employed when writing about a place and building a place have a central theme in common: both weave between the human, personal and emotional experience of place and the physical, spatial and atmospheric place – a dialogue between the inner and ...

Contribution of polymeric materials to progress in xenotransplantation of microencapsulated cells - A review

Sandrine Gerber, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Redouan Mahou, Solène Marcelle Françoise Marie Passemard, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz

Cell microencapsulation and subsequent transplantation of the microencapsulated cells require multidisciplinary approaches. Physical, chemical, biological, engineering, and medical expertise has to be combined. Several natural and synthetic polymeric mater ...

Acoustic Echoes Reveal Room Shape

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu, Ivan Dokmanic, Reza Parhizkar, Andreas Walther

Imagine that you are blindfolded inside an unknown room. You snap your fingers and listen to the room’s response. Can you hear the shape of the room? Some people can do it naturally, but can we design computer algorithms that hear rooms? We show how to com ...

Equivalent Theories of Liquid Crystal Dynamics

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz, Cesare Tronci

There are two competing descriptions of nematic liquid crystal dynamics: the Ericksen-Leslie director theory and the Eringen micropolar approach. Up to this day, these two descriptions have remained distinct in spite of several attempts to show that the mi ...

Asymmetric Multilevel Diversity Coding and Asymmetric Gaussian Multiple Descriptions

Suhas Diggavi, Soheil Mohajerzefreh

We consider the asymmetric multilevel diversity (A-MLD) coding problem, where a set of 2(K) - 1 information sources, ordered in a decreasing level of importance, is encoded into K messages (or descriptions). There are 2(K) - 1 decoders, each of which has a ...
