The problem of estimating receiver-sender node positions from measured receiver-sender distances is a key issue in different applications such as microphone array calibration, radio antenna array calibration, mapping and positioning using UWB and mapping and positioning using round-trip-time measurements between mobile phones and Wi-Fi-units. Thanks to recent research in this area we have an incre

Many modern drugs contain chiral amine moieties and the need for more efficient processes to synthesize these amines in high optical purity and concentration are greatly demanded by the fine chemical and pharma industry. Amine transaminases (ATA) allow for the direct asymmetric synthesis of optically pure amines from ketone substrates. Although academia and industry have been researching ATAs exte

A receiver receives information from a physical broadcast channel signal, wherein the receiver includes a blind processing and decoding unit that utilizes a hypothesis about how many transmit antennas were used to transmit the signal. Received signal characteristics are detected that indicate how many transmit antennas were used.

In a method and a mobile communications receiver for performing signal measurements, signal measurement data is received from at least one base station during at least part of a measurement period.

The end-point of the cloud trend is that all compu- tational and storage resources leave the homes and move to the cloud. We can be rather certain the future eventually looks like this as IT and telecommunications services are commoditised and the end users’ time, interest and skill to acquire and maintain electronics fade away. The network architecture suitable for such scenario will be analysed

Exogenous granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has emerged as a drug candidate for improving the outcome after peripheral nerve injuries. We raised the question if exogenous G-CSF can improve nerve regeneration following a clinically relevant model - nerve transection and repair - in healthy and diabetic rats. In short-term experiments, distance of axonal regeneration and extent of injury

Fms-like tyrosine kinase (FLT3) is a frequently mutated oncogene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FLT3 inhibitors display promising results in a clinical setting, but patients relapse after short-term treatment due to the development of resistant disease. Therefore, a better understanding of FLT3 downstream signal transduction pathways will help to identify an alternative target for the treatment

In this paper, we present a constraint programming-based approach for optimization of routing and reconfiguration overhead for a class of reconfigurable processor array architectures called weakly programmable. For a given set of different algorithms the execution of which is supposed to be switched upon request at run-time, we provide static solutions for optimal routing of data between processor

Temporal logics have proven effective for correct-by-construction synthesis of controllers for a wide range of robotic applications. Receding horizon frameworks mitigate the computational intractability of reactive synthesis for temporal logic, but have thus far been limited by pursuing a single sequence of short horizon problems to the goal. We propose a receding horizon algorithm for reactive sy

Correct-by-construction synthesis of high-level reactive control relies on the use of formal methods to generate controllers with provable guarantees on their behavior. While this approach has been successfully applied to a wide range of systems and environments, it scales poorly. A receding horizon framework mitigates this computational blowup, by decomposing the global control problem into sever

Following the recent detection of an auroral signal on Uranus (Lamy et al. [2012]. Geophys. Res. Lett. 39, 7105) during HST/STIS observation performed in November 2011, we analyzed the associated HST/STIS FUV spectral images obtained in 2011 and 2012. Our purpose was to extract any possible H2 emission produced in the upper atmosphere of the planet. To interpret these data, we adapted a version of

Context. The prediction of the Planck-constrained primordial lithium abundance in the Universe is in discordance with the observed Li abundances in warm Population II dwarf and subgiant stars. Among the physically best motivated ideas, it has been suggested that this discrepancy can be alleviated if the stars observed today had undergone photospheric depletion of lithium. Aims. The cause of this d
