The key contribution of this research lies in the advancement […]

Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a protein on the plasma membrane that forms cup-shaped structures caveolae, which flatten to protect cells under mechanical stress. However, the relationship between the caveolae and other CAV1 structures, scaffolds and dolines, in the process of caveolae formation and flattening is unclear. A challenge is to differentiate caveolae from scaffolds using conventional […]

Quantum information metrics including fidelity, quantum divergences, and the trace norm provide the mathematical foundation for studying and understanding quantum states and processes. As such, quantum information metrics play a crucial role in quantum computing, simulation of quantum systems, and quantum machine learning (including quantum clustering, generative models, and machine learning of, and by, quantum […]

Le projet de stage chez Empenn a pour objectif de modéliser les conséquences des traumatismes crâniens chez les enfants en se basant sur des données d’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Ce stage sera mené par la stagiaire Andjela Dimitrijevic, se concentrant principalement sur l’acquisition de données liées au traumatisme crânien léger (TCC) chez les enfants, […]

The main objective of the current research is to enhance the detection, clustering, and estimation of Extreme Precipitation Events (EPEs) in arid and semi-arid regions. To achieve this goal, we propose a novel framework called Machine-learning-based Clustering-merging algorithms (ML-CMAs) for satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs). Daily precipitation measurements were utilized for training and evaluating EPEs estimation […]
