Reduced Training Data for Laser Ultrasound Signal Interpretation by Neural Networks

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Janez Rus

The performance of machine learning algorithms is conditioned by the availability of training datasets, which is especially true for the field of nondestructive evaluation. Here we propose one reconfigurable specimen instead of numerous reference specimens ...

Instabilities in Elastic and Magneto-Elastic Beams and Shells: from Shell Buckling to the Design of a Programmable Braille Reader

Arefeh Abbasi

In this thesis, we conduct a comprehensive investigation into structural instabilities of both elastic and magneto-elastic beams and shells, resulting in a creative proposal to design a programmable braille reader. Methodologically, we combine numerical si ...

Neurogenesis redirects β-catenin from adherens junctions to the nucleus to promote axonal growth

Antonio Herrera Camacho

Here, we show that, in the developing spinal cord, after the early Wnt-mediated Tcf transcription activation that confers dorsal identity to neural stem cells, neurogenesis redirects beta-catenin from the adherens junctions to the nucleus to stimulate Tcfo ...

Hemodynamic effects of a dielectric elastomer augmented aorta on aortic wave intensity: An in-vivo study

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Armando Matthieu Walter, Francesco Clavica, Silje Ekroll Jahren

Dielectric elastomer actuator augmented aorta (DEA) represents a novel approach with high potential for assisting a failing heart. The soft tubular device replaces a section of the aorta and increases its diameter when activated. The hemodynamic interactio ...

From defect to effect: controlling electronic transport in chevron graphene nanoribbons

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics

While bottom-up synthesis allows for precise control over the properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), the use of certain precursor molecules can result in edge defects, such as missing benzene rings that resemble a 'bite'. We investigate the adverse eff ...

Differential impact of TGF beta/SMAD signaling activity elicited by Activin A and Nodal on endoderm differentiation of epiblast stem cells

Pierre Osteil

Allocation of cells to an endodermal fate in the gastrulating embryo is driven by Nodal signaling and consequent activation of TGF beta pathway. In vitro methodologies striving to recapitulate the process of endoderm differentiation, however, use TGF beta ...

Defects in III-N LEDs: experimental identification and impact on electro-optical characteristics

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Camille Haller

III-N light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) are subject of intense investigations, thanks to their high efficiency and great reliability. The quality of the semiconductor material has a significant impact on the electro-optical performance of LEDs: for this reason, ...

PUS3-related disorder: Report of a novel patient and delineation of the phenotypic spectrum

Alessandro Borghesi

PUS3 encodes the pseudouridylate synthase 3, an enzyme catalyzing the formation of tRNA pseudouridine, which plays a critical role in tRNA structure, function, and stability. Biallelic pathogenic variants of PUS3 have been previously associated with severe ...

Evolutionary history expands the range of signaling interactions in hybrid multikinase networks

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

Two-component systems (TCSs) are ubiquitous signaling pathways, typically comprising a sensory histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator, which communicate via intermolecular kinase-to-receiver domain phosphotransfer. Hybrid HKs constitute non-canonic ...

Defect engineered nanostructured LaFeO3 photoanodes for improved activity in solar water oxidation

Xavier Pereira Da Costa, Kevin Sivula, Liang Yao, Mounir Driss Mensi, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Yongpeng Liu

LaFeO3 (LFO) is recognized as a candidate material for solar water oxidation, but its photoelectrochemical response remains modest and stagnant. With the aim of advancing LFO photoanodes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), here, a nanorod array-type e ...

Computational methods for live heart imaging with speed-constrained microscopes

Olivia Mariani

Imaging methods to capture the beating and developing heart inside embryonic animal models such as the zebrafish are a key component for the study of fundamental biological processes such as cardiac birth defects or tissue regeneration. However, live heart ...

The E protein-TCF1 axis controls gamma delta T cell development and effector fate

Freddy Radtke

TCF1 plays a critical role in T lineage commitment and the development of alpha beta lineage T cells, but its role in gamma delta T cell development remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal a regulatory axis where T cell receptor (TCR) signaling controls ...

Capturing Cardiogenesis in Gastruloids

Matthias Lütolf, Romain Guiet, Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Mehmet Ugur Girgin, Giuliana Rossi, Andrea Boni

Organoids are powerful models for studying tissue development, physiology, and disease. However, current culture systems disrupt the inductive tissue-tissue interactions needed for the complex morphogenetic processes of native organogenesis. Here, we show ...

TBX3 acts as tissue-specific component of the Wnt/beta-catenin transcriptional complex

Michel Aguet, Andreas Eduard Moor

BCL9 and PYGO are beta-catenin cofactors that enhance the transcription of Wnt target genes. They have been proposed as therapeutic targets to diminish Wnt signaling output in intestinal malignancies. Here we find that, in colorectal cancer cells and in de ...

Improving delamination resistance through tailored defects

John Botsis, Niels Pichler

Delamination is a well-known damage mode exhibited by laminated composites which has been extensively studied in unidirectional laminates (UD). In this work, a novel strategy consisting of the introduction of a small interlaminar defect to enhance the frac ...

Finite-size corrections of defect energy levels involving ionic polarization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Julia Anna Wiktor, Stefano Falletta

We develop a scheme for finite-size corrections of vertical transition energies and single-particle energy levels involving defect states with built-in ionic polarization in supercell calculations. The method accounts on an equal footing for the screening ...
