Scaling as a key conceptual tool for the interpretation of empirical and experimental patterns in ecology and biology

This thesis is concerned with regular patterns found in ecology and biology, their linkages and the statistical description of their fluctuations around average trends. Among such patterns, often conforming to power laws, well-known examples include the Sp ...

Machine-learning predictor of nerve fiber firing rate allows the automatic optimization of electrical stimulation protocols

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Gabriele Marino

Computational models have been widely employed to study the electrical stimulation of the nervous system. Still, most applications either study fundamental mechanisms underlying stimulation, or address qualitative scientific questions. When quantitative qu ...

Inferring species interactions in ecological communities: a comparison of methods at different levels of complexity

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt, Francesco Carrara

Natural communities commonly contain many different species and functional groups, and multiple types of species interactions act simultaneously, such as competition, predation, commensalism or mutualism. However, experimental and theoretical investigat ...

Event-based sampled ECG morphology reconstruction through self-similarity

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Tomas Teijeiro Campo, Silvio Zanoli

Background and Objective: Event-based analog-to-digital converters allow for sparse bio-signal acquisition, enabling local sub-Nyquist sampling frequency. However, aggressive event selection can cause the loss of important bio-markers, not recoverable with ...

High-order accurate well-balanced energy stable adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the shallow water equations with non-flat bottom topography

Junming Duan, Zhenying Zhang

This paper proposes high-order accurate well-balanced (WB) energy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the shallow water equations (SWEs) with non flat bottom topography. To enable the construction of the ES schemes on moving mesh ...

A Practical Wave Optics Reflection Model for Hair and Fur

Mengqi Xia

Traditional fiber scattering models, based on ray optics, are missing some important visual aspects of fiber appearance. Previous work [Xia et al. 2020] on wave scattering from ideal extrusions demonstrated that diffraction produces strong forward scatteri ...

L'habitant et la cohabitation dans les modèles de l'espace habité

André Ourednik

The notion of habiter (inhabiting in both a transitive and intransitive sense), developed in the course of the second half of the 20th century, made it possible to place the human individual in the center of spatial theories. Of phenomenological inspiratio ...

A Large-Scale Characterization of How Readers Browse Wikipedia

Robert West, Tiziano Piccardi, Akhil Arora

Despite the importance and pervasiveness of Wikipedia as one of the largest platforms for open knowledge, surprisingly little is known about how people navigate its content when seeking information. To bridge this gap, we present the first systematic large ...
