This paper presents a method to create an illusion of seeing moving objects through occluding surfaces in a video. This illusion is achieved by transferring information from a camera viewing the occluded area. In typical view interpolation approaches for 3D scenes, some form of correspondence across views is required. For occluded areas, establishing direct correspondence is impossible as information...
This study demonstrates the existence of noise assisted transport in the Fenna-Matthew-Olson (FMO) complex, a light-harvesting complex found in photosynthetic green sulphur bacteria. Result shows how local dephasing enhances the transport process in the FMO complex. In addition, the robustness of the mechanism under local disorder reveals that energy transport in nature is not sensitive to the finer...
This paper presents our approach to use social network information in P2P networks in order to efficiently retrieve relevant information by exploiting existing trust relations of the social network links. The novelty of our work is to demonstrate that only a subset of the whole social network is adequate to build an efficient and reliable service. We use our P2P network, which is an adaptation of...
Probabilistic Boolean Networks have served as the main model for studying the application of optimal intervention strategies to favorably affect system dynamics. The errors originating in the data extraction or network inference process prevent the accurate estimation of the state transition probabilities of the network. The mathematical characterization of the uncertainties will enable us to analyze...
The design of effective therapeutic interventions can be formulated as Markov decision processes in the framework of context-sensitive probabilistic Boolean networks, assuming that the states are measurable. The full state of a context-sensitive probabilistic Boolean network is specified by an ordered pair composed of a network context and a gene-activity profile. In practice, however, the network...
Current implementations of real-time collaborative applications rely on a dedicated infrastructure to carry out all synchronizing and communication functions, and require all end nodes to communicate directly with and through the central server. In this paper, we investigate an architecture, in which the most resource intensive functionality of continuous communication among collaborators to disseminate...
Online Social Networks like Facebook, MySpace, Xing, etc. have become extremely popular. Yet they have some limitations that we want to overcome for a next generation of social networks: privacy concerns and requirements of Internet connectivity, both of which are due to web-based applications on a central site whose owner has access to all data. To overcome these limitations, we envision a paradigm...
We present the joint photon-number statistics of a locally photon-subtracted two-mode vacuum squeezed state of light. Comparison to the unsubtracted statistics shows a successful photon subtraction and the expected shift by one photon number.
The errors originating in the data extraction process, gene selection and network inference prevent the transition probabilities of a gene regulatory network from being accurately estimated. Thus, it is important to study the effect of modeling errors on the final outcome of an intervention strategy and to design robust intervention strategies. Two major approaches applied to the design of robust...
Continuous time decentralized indirect adaptive controllers are proposed for a large scale system composed of N interconnected linear subsystems with unknown parameters. Each local adaptive law utilises a normalising signal which is generated using the local input and the outputs of all the subsystems. Sufficient conditions for the closed loop stability of the adaptively controlled large scale system...
