Mega ALPACA to explore multi-PeV gamma-ray sky in the southern hemisphere
International Conference on Rebooting Computing, 2023 To explore the southern gamma-ray sky in the sub-PeV region ALPACA is now under construction near the Chacaltaya mountain in Bolivia. ALPACA is expected to discover various sub-PeV emitters, which are accelerating hadrons beyond PeV energy.

Thousands of Years of Pastoralism Don't Count: Coprophagous Beetles Prefer Exotic Alpaca Dung to That of Cattle. [PDF]
InsectsDung beetles mostly feed on mammal dung. Throughout the European Alps, the dung produced by local domestic ungulates attracts many species of dung beetles, giving rise to rich and diversified communities that play an important role in the Alpine ...

An alpaca nanobody neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by blocking receptor interaction
Nature Communications, 2020 SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells through an interaction between the spike glycoprotein and the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Directly preventing this interaction presents an attractive possibility for suppressing SARS-CoV-2 replication ...

Alpaca: intermittent execution without checkpoints [PDF]
Proc. ACM Program. Lang., 2017 The emergence of energy harvesting devices creates the potential for batteryless sensing and computing devices. Such devices operate only intermittently, as energy is available, presenting a number of challenges for software developers.
