A Deep Learning, Model-Predictive Approach To Neighborhood Congestion Prediction And ControlThe talk explores a technique for effectively representing the congestion state in a neighborhood for the purpose of short-term predictions through a simple scoring mechanism based on the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD). Network state signals emanating from a larger region-wide network are then utilized to predict this score using a ...

Dissecting the Spatiotemporal Subcellular Distribution of the Human ProteomeCompartmentalization of biological reactions is an important mechanism to allow multiple cellular reactions to occur in parallel. Resolving the spatial distribution of the human proteome at a subcellular level increases our understanding of human biology and disease. We have generated a high-resolution map of the subcellular distribution of the human ...

Enzian: making systems software research relevant in the face of custom hardwareAcademic research in rack-scale and datacenter computing today is hamstrung by lack of hardware. Cloud providers and hardware vendors build custom accelerators, interconnects, and networks for commercially important workloads, but university researchers are stuck with commodity, off-the-shelf parts.Enzian is a research computer being developed at ETH Zurich (in collaboration with ...
Our team at the Naval Research Laboratory looks at rate-critical chemical processes where events per second are required for high performance in such technologies as energy storage, energy conversion, (electro)catalysis, and sensing. We then design next-generation systems built around pore - solid nanoarchitectures that seamlessly embody all of the requisite ...
Investigating Innovation Practice: Cross-Disciplinary Studies in International DevelopmentInnovation practice is a transdisciplinary field that aims to create a better world out of an existing one by pooling methods and mindsets of inquiry and creation. Over the past decade, the field has become more accessible to a much broader collection of amateur designers. Development professionals treated design thinking ...
Conversations About Landscape: Heritage and Habitat: Shrimp Fishing in San Francisco BayExplore interwoven stories about the habitat and heritage of San Francisco Bay’s shrimp fisheries.Artist Rene Yung will discuss the culture of Chinese shrimp-fishing villages that ringed San Francisco Bay in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Yung will share her artwork, Written on Water, which she describes as “a ...

taste of science: Construction in the brain, and parents in our genesThe Extreme Architecture of Neurons and OligodendrocytesNeurons are electrically active cells in the brain whose signaling relies on the formation of cellular extensions called axons and dendrites. Axons can reach 1 meter in humans; proteins and cellular machinery can take days to be transported along these axons. In addition, oligodendrocytes ...
