  • Linguistic laws in biology 

    Semple, Stuart; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon; Gustison, Morgan L. (2022-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Linguistic laws, the common statistical patterns of human language, have been investigated by quantitative linguists for nearly a century. Recently, biologists from a range of disciplines have started to explore the ...
  • Two-step techniques for accurate selection of small elements in VR environments 

    Molina López, Elena; Vázquez Alcocer, Pere Pau (2023-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    One of the key interactions in 3D environments is target acquisition, which can be challenging when targets are small or in cluttered scenes. Here, incorrect elements may be selected, leading to frustration and wasted time. ...
  • Real-time rendering and physics of complex dynamic terrains modeled as CSG trees of DEMs carved with spheres 

    Alonso Alonso, Jesús; Joan Arinyo, Robert; Chica Calaf, Antonio (Elsevier, 2023-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    We present a novel proposal for modeling complex dynamic terrains that offers real-time rendering, dynamic updates and physical interaction of entities simultaneously. We can capture any feature from landscapes including ...
  • Circular (yet sound) proofs in propositional logic 

    Atserias, Albert; Lauria, Massimo (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2023-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    Proofs in propositional logic are typically presented as trees of derived formulas or, alternatively, as directed acyclic graphs of derived formulas. This distinction between tree-like vs. dag-like structure is particularly ...
  • On the spectra of token graphs of cycles and other graphs 

    Reyes Quiróz, Mónica; Dalfó Simó, Cristina; Fiol Mora, Miquel Àngel; Messegué Buisan, Arnau (Elsevier, 2023-09-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    The k-token graph of a graph G is the graph whose vertices are the k-subsets of vertices from G, two of which being adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in G. It is a known result ...
  • Kinetochore component function in C. elegans oocytes revealed by 4D tracking of holocentric chromosomes 

    Pitayu Nugroho, Laras; Aubry, Mélanie; Laband, Kimberley; Geoffroy, Hélène; Ganeswaran, Thadshagine; Primadhanty, Audi; Canman, Julie C.; Dumont, Julien (2023-07-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    During cell division, chromosome congression to the spindle center, their orientation along the spindle long axis and alignment at the metaphase plate depend on interactions between spindle microtubules and kinetochores, ...
  • Automated digital color restitution of mural paintings using minimal art historian input 

    Muñoz Pandiella, Imanol; Andújar Gran, Carlos Antonio; Cayuela Vellido, Begonya; Pueyo Sandez, Francesc Xavier; Bosch Geli, Carles (Elsevier, 2023-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    Digital color restitution aims to digitally restore the original colors of a painting. Existing image editing applications can be used for this purpose, but they require a select-and-edit workflow and thus they do not scale ...
  • Dynamic robotic tracking of underwater targets using reinforcement learning 

    Masmitjà Rusiñol, Ivan; Martín Muñoz, Mario; O’Reilly, Tom; Kieft, Brian; Palomeras Rovira, Narcís; Navarro Bernabé, Joan; Katija, Kakani (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2023-07-26)
    Article
    Open Access
    To realize the potential of autonomous underwater robots that scale up our observational capacity in the ocean, new techniques are needed. Fleets of autonomous robots could be used to study complex marine systems and animals ...
  • Recent PELE developments and applications in drug discovery campaigns 

    Puch Giner, Ignasi; Molina Martínez de los Reyes, Alexis; Municoy Terol, Martí; Pérez Puigdomènech, Carles; Guallar Tasies, Victor (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-12-17)
    Article
    Open Access
    Computer simulation techniques are gaining a central role in molecular pharmacology. Due to several factors, including the significant improvements of traditional molecular modelling, the irruption of machine learning ...
  • An adaptive methodology for the improvement of knowledge acquisition by a multimedia web tool 

    Gabriel Cerna, Pedro Víctor; Pérez Poch, Antoni; Alpiste Penalba, Francesc; Torner Ribé, Jordi (Tempus Publications, 2023-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    Adaptive learning is a method that personalizes the teaching-learning strategies in accordance with the needs and preferences of each student. This article describes the design, the implementation and the tests of a web ...
  • Understanding STEM career choices: a systematic mapping 

    López López, María José; Simó Guzmán, Pep; Marco Gómez, Jordi (Elsevier Ltd, 2023-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    STEM disciplines are considered essential for human development, and they are associated with low unemployment rates and good economic prospects. However, many countries are faced with the problem of too few STEM graduates, ...
  • AI-based glioma grading for a trustworthy diagnosis: an analytical pipeline for improved reliability 

    Pitarch i Abaigar, Carla; Ribas Ripoll, Vicente Jorge; Vellido Alcacena, Alfredo (2023-06-27)
    Article
    Open Access
    Glioma is the most common type of tumor in humans originating in the brain. According to the World Health Organization, gliomas can be graded on a four-stage scale, ranging from the most benign to the most malignant. The ...
