Dealing with the Effects of Sensor Displacement in Wearable Activity Recognition
(MDPI, 2014-06)Most wearable activity recognition systems assume a predefined sensor deployment that remains unchanged during runtime. However, this assumption does not reflect real-life conditions. During the normal use of such systems, ... -
Spinal circuits can accommodate interaction torques during multijoint limb movements
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-11-11)The dynamic interaction of limb segments during movements that involve multiple joints creates torques in one joint due to motion about another. Evidence shows that such interaction torques are taken into account during ... -
Entanglement negativity in the harmonic chain out of equilibrium
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-08)We study the entanglement in a chain of harmonic oscillators driven out of equilibrium by preparing the two sides of the system at different temperatures, and subsequently joining them together. The steady state is constructed ... -
Digital Quantum Rabi and Dicke Models in Superconducting Circuits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-12-15)We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in ... -
Side-Effects of Domestication: Cultivated Legume Seeds Contain Similar Tocopherols and Fatty Acids but Less Carotenoids than Their Wild Counterparts
(Biomed Central, 2014-12-20)BACKGROUND: Lipophilic antioxidants play dual key roles in edible seeds (i) as preservatives of cell integrity and seed viability by preventing the oxidation of fats, and (ii) as essential nutrients for human and animal ... -
Physiological modules for generating discrete and rhythmic movements: Component analysis of EMG signals
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-01-09)A central question in Neuroscience is that of how the nervous system generates the spatiotemporal commands needed to realize complex gestures, such as handwriting. A key postulate is that the central nervous system (CNS) ... -
Self-Organized Criticality, Plasticity and Sensorimotor Coupling. Explorations with a Neurorobotic Model in a Behavioural Preference Task
(Public Library of Science, 2015-02-23)During the last two decades, analysis of 1/f noise in cognitive science has led to a considerable progress in the way we understand the organization of our mental life. However, there is still a lack of specific models ... -
Scalable quantum memory in the ultrastrong coupling regime
(Nature Publishing, 2015-03-02)Circuit quantum electrodynamics, consisting of superconducting artificial atoms coupled to on-chip resonators, represents a prime candidate to implement the scalable quantum computing architecture because of the presence ... -
Humoral Immunity Links Candida albicans Infection and Celiac Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-20)Objective The protein Hwp1, expressed on the pathogenic phase of Candida albicans, presents sequence analogy with the gluten protein gliadin and is also a substrate for transglutaminase. This had led to the suggestion ... -
Quantum Simulation of Dissipative Processes without Reservoir Engineering
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-05-29)We present a quantum algorithm to simulate general finite dimensional Lindblad master equations without the requirement of engineering the system-environment interactions. The proposed method is able to simulate both ... -
A novel brain partition highlights the modular skeleton shared by structure and function
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-06-03)Elucidating the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, both in healthy and pathological conditions, is a key challenge for modern neuroscience. Recent progress in neuroimaging has helped advance our ... -
Energy and momentum transfer in one-dimensional trapped gases by stimulated light scattering
(IOP Publishing, 2015-06-10)In ultracold atoms settings, inelastic light scattering is a preeminent technique to reveal static and dynamic properties at nonzero momentum. In this work, we investigate an array of one-dimensional trapped Bose gases, ... -
