Collective search by ants in microgravity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 The problem of collective search is a tradeoff between searching thoroughly and covering as much area as possible. This tradeoff depends on the density of searchers. Solutions to the problem of collective search are currently of much interest in robotics

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common condition among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and is the leading cause of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in this population. Growing evidence suggests that social determinants of health (SDOH) influence menstrual bleeding patterns, access to care, and treatment. However, no studies have

Exploiting the Synchronization of Nonlinear Dynamics to Secure Distributed Consensus
IEEE Open Journal of Control Systems, 2023 Distributed cooperative multi-agent operations, which are emerging as effective solutions in countless application domains, are prone to eavesdropping by malicious entities due to their exposure on the network.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Distributed top-k aggregation queries at large [PDF]
, 2009 Top-k query processing is a fundamental building block for efficient ranking in a large number of applications. Efficiency is a central issue, especially for distributed settings, when the data is spread across different nodes in a network.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

The Logic of Events, a framework to reason about distributed systems [PDF]
, 2012 We present a logical framework to reason about distributed systems called the Logic of Events. This logic has been formalized in Nuprl. We developed a suite of tools and tactics in Nuprl to reason about event classes.

Benchmarking hybrid algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation games
, 2011 In this paper, we consider algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation problems (DCOPs). Using a potential game characterisation of DCOPs, we decompose eight DCOP algorithms, taken from the game theory and computer science literatures, into their ...
