We study the trigonometric degree of pairs of embedded cubature rules for the approximation of two-dimensional integrals, where the basic cubature rule is a Fibonacci lattice rule. The embedded cubature rule is constructed by simply doubling the points which results in ...

ABSTRACT In this work, the position of contemporary microbiology is considered from the perspective of scientific success, and a list of historical points and lessons learned from the fields of medical microbiology, microbial ecology and systems biology is presented. In...

ovel social, civic or entertainment opportunities might emerge when spatially distributed public displays become interlinked in meaningful ways. Yet little is still known about the effect of intrinsic design dimensions, such as how multiple displays should be spatially ...

The manual configuration and management of a modern network infrastructure is an increasingly complex task. This complexity is caused by factors including heterogeneity, a high degree of change and dependencies between configuration parameters. Due to increasing complex...

Semantic knowledge has been adopted recently for SMT preprocessing, decoding and evaluation, in order to be able to compare sentences based on their meaning rather than on mere lexical and syntactic similarity. Little attention has been paid to semantic knowledge in the...

This study, requested by the European Commission, addresses the challenge of multiple disciplinary interactions in Horizon 2020 projects, specifically in those with relevance to the Digital Agenda for Europe. It makes a series of recommendations that are aimed at improv...

Disconjugate oculomotor adaptation is driven by the need to maintain binocular vision. Since binocular vision in Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) patients is normal in half of their horizontal field of gaze (i.e., sound-side of gaze), we wondered whether oculomotor adapt...

The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary resulted in one of the most abrupt global warming events in the past 100 m.y., presenting an analogue to current global warming. Here, we present high-resolution geochemical, micropaleontological,...

Systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is implicated in increasing mortality in patients with alcoholic hepatitis but the underlying mechanisms are not well characterised. The objective of this study was to characterise neutrophil function, LPS and cytokine concentrations wi...

Currently, nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) in monotherapy are favored as prophylaxis against hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation. However, in patients at risk of renal failure, renal safety of NAs is of concern. We investigated the safety and efficacy of subc...
