Towards a Radio-guided Surgery with Decays: Uptake of a somatostatin analogue (DOTATOC) in Meningioma and High Grade Glioma
Francesco Collamati, Alessandra Pepe, Fabio Bellini +19
A novel radio guided surgery (RGS) technique for cerebral tumors using radiation is being developed. Checking the availability of a radio-tracer that can deliver a …
Charge photogeneration in few-layer MoS2
Tetiana Borzda, Christoph Gadermaier, Natasa Vujicic +12
The two-dimensional semiconductor MoS2 in its mono- and few-layer form is expected to have a significant exciton binding energy of several 100 meV, leading to the consensus that ex…
Spanning the full Poincaré sphere with polariton Rabi oscillations
D. Colas, L. Dominici, S. Donati +11
We propose theoretically and demonstrate experimentally a generation of light pulses whose polarization varies temporally to cover selected areas of the Poincaré sphere with tunabl…
Optical conductivity renormalization of graphene on SrTiO due to resonant excitonic effects mediated by Ti 3\textit{d} orbitals
Pranjal Kumar Gogoi, Paolo E. Trevisanutto, Ming Yang +10
We present evidence of a drastic renormalization of the optical conductivity of graphene on SrTiO resulting in almost full transparency in the ultraviolet region. These finding…
A Flexible and Robust Large Scale Capacitive Tactile System for Robots
Perla Maiolino, Marco Maggiali, Giorgio Cannata +2
Capacitive technology allows building sensors that are small, compact and have high sensitivity. For this reason it has been widely adopted in robotics. In a previous work we prese…
Kohn-Sham Kinetic Energy Density in the Nuclear and Asymptotic Regions: Deviations from the Von Weizsäcker Behavior and Applications to Density Functionals
F. Della Sala, E. Fabiano, L. A. Constantin
We show that the Kohn-Sham positive-definite kinetic energy (KE) density significantly differs from the von Weizsäcker (VW) one at the nuclear cusp as well as in the asymptotic reg…
Gaze Stabilization for Humanoid Robots: a Comprehensive Framework
Alessandro Roncone, Ugo Pattacini, Giorgio Metta +1
Gaze stabilization is an important requisite for humanoid robots. Previous work on this topic has focused on the integration of inertial and visual information. Little attention ha…
Trade-Offs in Exploiting Body Morphology for Control: from Simple Bodies and Model-Based Control to Complex Bodies with Model-Free Distributed Control Schemes
Matej Hoffmann, Vincent C. Müller
Tailoring the design of robot bodies for control purposes is implicitly performed by engineers, however, a methodology or set of tools is largely absent and optimization of morphol…
The local phase transitions of the solvent in the neighborhood of a solvophobic polymer at high pressures
Yu. A. Budkov, I. I. Vyalov, A. L. Kolesnikov +3
We investigate local phase transitions of the solvent in the neighborhood of a solvophobic polymer chain which is induced by a change of the polymer-solvent repulsion and the solve…
Reverse Engineering of Middleware for Verification of Robot Control Architectures
Ali Khalili, Lorenzo Natale, Armando Tacchella
We consider the problem of automating the verification of distributed control software relying on publish-subscribe middleware. In this scenario, the main challenge is that softwar…
Enhancing software module reusability using port plug-ins: an experiment with the iCub robot
Ali Paikan, Vadim Tikhanoff, Giorgio Metta +1
Systematically developing high--quality reusable software components is a difficult task and requires careful design to find a proper balance between potential reuse, functionaliti…
Gradient-dependent upper bound for the exchange-correlation energy and application to density functional theory
L. A. Constantin, E. Fabiano, A. Terentjevs +1
We propose a simple gradient-dependent bound for the exchange-correlation energy (sLL), based on the recent non-local bound derived by Lewin and Lieb. We show that sLL is equivalen…
Inferring metabolic phenotypes from the exometabolome through a thermodynamic variational principle
Daniele De Martino, Fabrizio Capuani, Andrea De Martino
Networks of biochemical reactions, like cellular metabolic networks, are kept in non-equilibrium steady states by the exchange fluxes connecting them to the environment. In most ca…
Capturing spatial interdependence in image features: the counting grid, an epitomic representation for bags of features
Alessandro Perina, Nebojsa Jojic
In recent scene recognition research images or large image regions are often represented as disorganized "bags" of features which can then be analyzed using models originally devel…
Polariton Induced Enhanced Emission from an Organic Dye under Strong Coupling Regime
Dario Ballarini, Milena De Giorgi, Salvatore Gambino +10
Exciton-polaritons in semiconductors are quasi-particles which have recently shown the capability to undergo phase transition into a coherent hybrid state of light and matter. The…
Nonlocality in metallo-dielectric multilayers: numerical tools and physical analysis
Jessica Benedicto, Rémi Pollès, Cristian Ciracì +3
We provide theoretical and numerical tools to quantitatively study the impact of nonlocality arising from free electrons in metals on the optical properties of metallo-dielectric m…
In Situ Calibration of Six-Axes Force Torque Sensors using Accelerometer Measurements
Silvio Traversaro, Daniele Pucci, Francesco Nori
This paper proposes techniques to calibrate six-axis force-torque sensors that can be performed in situ, i.e., without removing the sensor from the hosting system. We assume that t…
Partial Force Control of Constrained Floating-Base Robots
Andrea Del Prete, Nicolas Mansard, Francesco Nori +2
Legged robots are typically in rigid contact with the environment at multiple locations, which add a degree of complexity to their control. We present a method to control the motio…
Prioritized Optimal Control
Andrea Del Prete, Francesco Romano, Lorenzo Natale +3
This paper presents a new technique to control highly redundant mechanical systems, such as humanoid robots. We take inspiration from two approaches. Prioritized control is a wides…
Inertial Parameter Identification Including Friction and Motor Dynamics
Silvio Traversaro, Andrea Del Prete, Riccardo Muradore +2
Identification of inertial parameters is fundamental for the implementation of torque-based control in humanoids. At the same time, good models of friction and actuator dynamics ar…
