Sparsity-Driven Digital Terrain Model Extraction
2020
We here introduce an automatic Digital Terrain Model (DTM) extraction method. The proposed sparsity-driven DTM extractor (SD-DTM) takes a high-resolution Digital Surface Model (DSM) as an input and constructs a high-resolution DTM using the variational framework. To obtain an accurate DTM, an iterative approach is proposed for the minimization of the target variational cost function. Accuracy of the SD-DTM is shown in a real-world DSM data set. We show the efficiency and effectiveness of the approach both visually and quantitatively via residual plots in illustrative terrain types.
Modeling Networks of Probabilistic Memristors in SPICE
2021
Efficient simulation of stochastic memristors and their networks requires novel modeling approaches. Utilizing a master equation to find occupation probabilities of network states is a recent major departure from typical memristor modeling [Chaos, solitons fractals 142, 110385 (2021)]. In the present article we show how to implement such master equations in SPICE – a general purpose circuit simulation program. In the case studies we simulate the dynamics of acdriven probabilistic binary and multi-state memristors, and dc-driven networks of probabilistic binary and multi-state memristors. Our SPICE results are in perfect agreement with known analytical solutions. Examples of LTspice code are…

Low-Power Audio Keyword Spotting using Tsetlin Machines
2021
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven Keyword Spotting (KWS) technologies has revolutionized human to machine interaction. Yet, the challenge of end-to-end energy efficiency, memory footprint and system complexity of current Neural Network (NN) powered AI-KWS pipelines has remained ever present. This paper evaluates KWS utilizing a learning automata powered machine learning algorithm called the Tsetlin Machine (TM). Through significant reduction in parameter requirements and choosing logic over arithmetic based processing, the TM offers new opportunities for low-power KWS while maintaining high learning efficacy. In this paper we explore a TM based keyword spotting (KWS) pipe…
Routing quantum information in spin chains
2013
Two different models for performing efficiently routing of a quantum state are presented. Both cases involve an XX spin chain working as data bus and additional spins that play the role of sender and receivers, one of which is selected to be the target of the quantum state transmission protocol via a coherent quantum coupling mechanism making use of local/global magnetic fields. Quantum routing is achieved, in the first of the models considered, by weakly coupling the sender and the receiver to the data bus. In the second model, strong magnetic fields acting on additional spins located between the sender/receiver and the data bus allow us to perform high fidelity routing.
Recent Progress in FSMA Microactuator Developments
2009
The giant magneto-strain effect is particularly attractive for actuator applications in micro- and nanometer dimensions as it enables contact-less control of large deformations, which can hardly be achieved by other actuation principles in small space. Two different approaches are being pursued to develop ferromagnetic shape memory (FSMA) microactuators based on the magnetically induced reorientation of martensite variants: (1) the fabrication of free-standing epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga thin film actuators in a bottom-up manner by magnetron sputtering, substrate release and integration technologies and (2) the top-down approach of thickness reduction of bulk Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals to foil specime…
Can sad music really make you sad? Indirect measures of affective states induced by music and autobiographical memories
2012
The present study addressed music’s disputed ability to induce genuine sadness in listeners by investigating whether listening to sad music can induce sadness-related effects on memory and judgment. Related aims were to explore how the different mechanisms of music-induced emotions are involved in sadness induced by familiar, self-selected music and unfamiliar, experimenter-selected music, and whether the susceptibility to music-induced sadness is associated with trait empathy. One hundred twenty participants were randomly assigned into four conditions with different tasks: listening to unfamiliar sad or neutral music, or to self-selected sad music, or recalling a sad autobiographical event…
Stimulus Repetition Produces Automatic Facilitation in a Naming Task

Repeated prime-target pairs in a lexical decision task showed improvement across 4 stimulus onset asynchronies for a single subject.
Falkland, the promised islands. Approaches to literature of the war
2018
Resumen: El presente artículo propone, en primer lugar, un acercamiento a la construcción nacional del relato sobre las Islas Malvinas. En segunda instancia se realiza un recorrido por la literatura que aborda la guerra de Malvinas a partir de tres focos narrativos: 1982-1989, 1990-2001 y 2002-2017. La periodización responde a las diferentes generaciones pero también a los procesos sociales que han acompañado una transformación política y cultural en Argentina. Finalmente, y como modo de detectar los principales géneros, tramas y conflictos narrativos que han surgido hasta este momento, se analizan las obras más representativas de cada periodo. Abstract: Firstly, this article proposes an ap…
In vitro generated human memory-like T cells are CD95 type II cells and resistant towards CD95-mediated apoptosis
2006
An adaptive immune response implies expansion of activated T cells and subsequent elimination to maintain homeostasis in a process called activation-induced cell death. Some cells, however, differentiate into memory cells and ensure a strong secondary immune response. To analyze the apoptosis phenotype of memory T cells on a cellular and molecular level, we have established an in vitro model of T cell activation and generation of cells phenotypically and functionally similar to memory cells. These long-term cultured T cells show a CD95-resistant phenotype, although they are still sensitive towards TCR/CD3-mediated apoptosis. Biochemical analysis revealed that these cells shift from CD95 typ…
