FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) is an applied nuclear physics experiment that aims at a full characterization of the fragmentation processes interest for Particle Therapy and Radiation Protection in Space. The program foresees set measurements direct inverse kinematics using particle beams targets with composition similar to human tissues spacecraft shielding materials. final goal measurement do...

modern integrated circuits consist of millions of standard cells and routing paths. in nano-scale designs, mis-prediction is a dominant problem that may diminish the quality of physical design algorithms or even result in the disruption of the convergence of the design cycle. in this paper, a new planning methodology is presented in which a master-plan of the chip is constructed at the early le...

We describe an original method for selecting key frames to represent the content of every shot in a video. We aim at spatially sampling in an uniform way the coverage of the scene viewed in each shot. Our method exploits the computation of the dominant image motion (assumed to be due to the camera motion) and mainly relies on geometrical properties related to the incremental contribution of a f...

UNLABELLED CHROMATRA (CHROmatin Mapping Across TRAnscripts) is a visualization tool available as plug-in for the Galaxy platform. It allows detailed yet concise presentations of data derived from ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq experiments by visualizing enrichment scores across genes or other genomic features while accounting for their length and additional characteristics such as gene expression. It in...

MOTIVATION ChIP-seq technology enables investigators to study genome-wide binding of transcription factors and mapping of epigenomic marks. Although the availability of basic analysis tools for ChIP-seq data is rapidly increasing, there has not been much progress on the related design issues. A challenging question for designing a ChIP-seq experiment is how deeply should the ChIP and the contro...

A quantum-mechanical approach to the calculation of electronic noise for nanoscale devices is presented. This method is based on the nonequilibrium Green's-function formalism with electron-phonon scattering mechanisms and takes the effects of the Pauli exclusion principle and the long-range Coulomb interactions into account. As examples the drain current noise characteristics of silicon nanowir...
