Sexual reproduction is one of the key features of eukaryotic organisms, essential for survival and evolution of most species. Although the mechanisms of sexual reproduction are largely conserved across all eukaryotes, our ...

Physical reservoir computing is a machine-learning paradigm that aims to harness the natural dynamics of a system to perform a variety of tasks. Quantum reservoir computing is an emerging machine-learning framework that ...

Zielonka introduced the concept of asynchronous automata to model some distributed systems [1]. Asynchronous automata are characterized by the languages they accept- regular trace languages [2][3][4]. A minimal DFA accepting ...

Planarians show high developmental plasticity and many aspects of their physiology are size dependent. The formation of its reproductive system is very unique among organisms as it in develops only after the planaria reach ...

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology, which utilizes optical fibres to monitor vibrations and acoustic signals, has emerged as a powerful tool for applications ranging from structural health monitoring of bridges ...

Despite advancements in drug manufacturing and production, the purity of manufactured drugs and/or chemical compounds remains a critical challenge that requires further investigation. Enzyme engineering has emerged as a ...

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer found in the endodermis of plants, which provides protection against various biotic and abiotic stresses and regulates the nutrient and water uptake in the plants. Despite having a major ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown to capture the syntax, semantics, and structure of programming languages, enabling the generation of accurate code for similar test cases through Few Shot Learning (FSL) and ...

Mammalian inner ear hair cells fail to regenerate once damaged, but other vertebrates such as zebrafish and chick, have the ability to restore lost hair cells. Understanding the developmental and regenerative programs of ...

In this thesis, we study the problem of fairly dividing a set of indivisible items among a group of agents. Envy-free (EF) allocations might fail to exist in this setting, motivating the study of relaxed notions such as ...
