Optical fiber technologies for in-vivo light delivery and optogenetics

In optogenetics, light-sensitive proteins are genetically targeted into specific classes of neurons in living animal models (typically mice), making possible to control their neural activity by means of visible light delivered into the brain tissue. In this paper, recent advances…

Parallel Exploration of the Nuclear Chromosome Conformation with NuChart-II

High-throughput molecular biology techniques are widely used to identify physical interactions between genetic elements located throughout the human genome. Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) and other related techniques allow to investigate the spatial organisation of chromosomes in the cell’s natural state.…

TESLA-based Broadcast Authentication

This chapter explores ways to use fast symmetric cryptography to protect vehicular communications, but without direct involvement of RSUs. It focuses on the timed efficient stream loss-tolerant authentication (TESLA) authentication protocol, which is commonly used in securing broadcast and multicast…

Decentralized Control of Linear Switched Nested Systems with l2-induced Norm Performance

This paper considers a decentralized switched control problem where exact conditions for controller synthesis are obtained in the form of semidefinite programming (SDP). The formulation involves a discrete-time switched linear plant that has a nested structure, and whose system matrices…

Multi-focus image fusion method based on Linked twist map (LTM) in shearlet domain

Multi-focus image fusion is the process of producing a single image by combining multiple images taken with different focal distances, the entire view is focused in the resultant image. The fused image has larger depth of field than each of…

PT-symmetry of multimode waveguides: A tool for multichannel communication

The idea of Parity-Time symmetry is to exploit the special eigenvalues of coupled modes experiencing a map of balanced gain and losses. We consider multimode waveguides with transverse PT-symmetry, hence we have N parallel stripe pairs (one gain stripe and…

Collision Detection Queries on moving objects with uncertain velocity

A new type of the spatio-temporal queries is the Collision Detection Query (CDQ for short). In this paper, we focus on efficiently processing the CDQ on moving objects with uncertainty. Given two sets O and Q of objects, each of…

New couple-resolution blocking tag identification protocol in RFID systems with capture effect

In RFID systems, some applications require to identify tags repeatedly. Many protocols have been proposed for this purpose, which quickly reidentify staying tags within communication range of the reader using the information obtained from the previous tag identification process. However,…
