Geographic environments, daily activities and stress: a study on the space-time fragmentation of exposure patterns
Stress is nearly ubiquitous in everyday life, and imposes a tremendous burden worldwide by acting as a major risk factor of mental disorders, autoimmune, infectious and cardiovascu...
Common Envelope Transients - Progenitors, Precursors, and Properties of their Outbursts
Common envelope evolution (CEE) is a crucial phase in binary evolution, as it is responsible for the formation of many of the most exciting systems in astrophysics, including sourc...
Elucidating the interplay between nuclear compartments and transcriptional dynamics during differentiation
Development is driven by transcriptional programs where specific gene regulatory networks (GRN) control genes on several time scales.However, the extent to which transcriptional dy...
Reconciling Citizens with the Tradeoffs of Democracy: Attitudes Toward Democracy Under Rising Politicization
Democracies involve tradeoffs since all their desirable qualities cannot be simultaneously maximized.Hard choices must be made in order to balance democratic principles such as pop...
Efficient & Selective Ion Pumps based on Ratchet Mechanisms
I propose a novel membrane-like device that utilizes a ratchet mechanism to drive ions selectively up a concentration gradient.This device can serve as a building block for an effi...
Nanocarbon-Ionic Liquid-Interfaces for Catalytic Activation of Nitrogen
Ammonia is one of the most important chemicals in the world.Electrocatalytic reduction of nitrogen (NRR) at ambient conditions is a sustainable alternative for its production to th...
The European Data Union: European Security Integration through Database Interoperability
EU policy-makers are constructing a European Data Union.Its ambition is database interoperability with information stored in autonomous databases becoming interconnected and availa...
Secrecy-Preserving Proofs with Solid Foundations
The traditional notion of a proof offers no secrecy --- proving the validity of a blockchain transaction would reveal its details, proving qualification for a loan would reveal pri...
Into the Sedimentary Matrix: Mapping the Replacement of Neanderthals by early Modern Humans using micro-contextualized biomolecules
The demise of Neandertals and the peopling of Europe by anatomically modern humans (AMH) occurred, geologically speaking, in the blink of an eye. While we know that Neandertals and...
Structuring Quantum Light for Microscopy
Optical microscopy, perhaps the most important tool in biomedical investigation and medical diagnosis, provides structural and functional information about biological specimen in a...
Subtype as a key to reduce heterogeneity of treatment effects in major depressive disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading contributor to disability and suicide. It is the most costly brain disorder in Europe.Although multiple treatments are of proven effica...
Hebrew Philosophical Manuscripts as Sites of Engagement
In the Middle Ages, philosophical activity undertaken in Hebrew was not conducted within an institutionalized environment.There were no universities, regulated curricula, or profes...
Developing an inductive spectrometer for electron paramagnetic resonance detection and imaging at the micron scale using superconducting quantum circuits.
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a powerful spectroscopy method which allows to identify paramagnetic species and quantify their interactions with their environment.Because...
Spins Interfaced with Light for Quantum Silicon technologies
Leveraging the success of the microelectronics and integrated photonics industries, silicon is one of the most promising platforms for developing large-scale quantum technologies.Q...
nanoVAST: a novel, non- viral LNP for precision payload delivery of genome editors and other cargo
Cell-specific cargo delivery is a key remaining problem in the field of RNA-based therapeutics.Thus far, delivery has relied on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) which encapsulate RNA wit...
Powering wearable devices by human heat with highly efficient, flexible, bio-inspired generators
Self-powered wearable electronic devices will be key technologies for future portable electronic systems in the Internet of Everything (IoE).However, their potential is limited bec...
Exploring wooden materials in hybrid printed electronics: a holistic approach towards functional electronics with net zero carbon emissions
Reshaping the life-cycle of electronics, from raw materials to end-of-life, is inevitably one of the fundamental steps to accomplish towards a sustainable economy and society.The a...
Towards Soft Fixture-Based Manipulation Primitives Enabling Safe Robotic Manipulation in Hazardous Healthcare and Food Handling Applications
Fresh food processing is a labour intensive task requiring workers to operate in hazardous environments such as cold rooms while handling delicate produce.Industry KPIs however inc...
Integrating Terrestrial and Aquatic Archaeozoological Studies: Venice and the northern Adriatic lagoons between Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
The InTer AquAS project aims to investigate human-animal-environment relationships at the Roman-early medieval transition along the north-western Adriatic coast; by highlighting el...
ULTRA-ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SECURE NEUROMORPHIC SENSING AND PROCESSING AT THE ENDPOINT
Today only very light AI processing tasks are executed in ubiquitous IoT endpoint devices, where sensor data are generated and access to energy is usually constrained.However, this...
