The ascetic twist

Ascetic convolutional codes

Ascetic convolutional codes contain fewer edge labels than other convolutional codes. This is advantageous in several practical situations. Selecting an ascetic code over a non-ascetic code carries no severe penalty, in terms of trade-off of minimum distance, code rate and complexity.

ASCETiC: Adapting Service lifeCycle towards EfficienT Clouds

Reducing energy consumption is increasingly gaining attention in the area of Cloud computing, as means to reduce costs and improve corporate sustainability image. ASCETiC is focused on providing novel methods and tools to support software developers to optimise energy efficiency and minimise the carbon footprint resulting from developing, deploying and running software in Clouds. At the same ti...

TWIST 1 ( twist homolog 1 ( Drosophila ) )

The 20.9 kDa protein encoded by TWIST1 gene is a highly conserved transcription factor that belongs to the family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins. In vertebrates, it is involved in embryonic development through the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) during neural crest migration, also it regulates mesoderm determination, myogenesis, and morphogenesis (Hebrok et al....

Quasiparticles do the twist

One of the most memorable lessons of an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics is that identical particles can have two types of “statistics.” An exchange of two identical bosons leaves the many-particle wave function unchanged, while an exchange of two identical fermions introduces a minus sign. The consequences of this minus sign are profound in all areas of physics. Moreover, it has long ...
