neural omnivideo fusing world knowledge into smart videospecific models

the field of computer vision has made unprecedented progress in applying deep learning dl to images nevertheless expanding this progress to videos is dramatically lagging behind due to two key challenges i video data is highly complex and diverse requiring order of magnitude more training data than images and ii raw video data is extremely high dimensional these challenges make the processing of entire video pixelvolumes at scale prohibitively expensive and ineffective thus applying dl at scale to video is restricted to short clips or aggressively subsampled videoson the other side of the spectrum videospecific modelsa single or a few neural networks trained on a single videoexhibit several key properties i facilitate effective video representations eg layers that make video analysis and editing significantly more tractable ii enable longrange temporal analysis by encoding the video through the network and iii are not restricted to the distribution of training data nevertheless the capabilities applicability and robustness of such models are hampered by having access to only lowlevel information in the videowe propose to combine the power of these two approaches by the new concept of neural omnivideo models dlbased frameworks that effectively represent the dynamics of a given video coupled with the vast knowledge learned by an ensemble of external models we are aimed at pioneering novel methodologies for developing such models for video analysis and synthesis tasks our approach will have several important outcomesgive rise to fundamentally novel effective video representationsgo beyond stateoftheart in classical video analysis tasks that involve longrange temporal analysisenhance the perception of our dynamic world through new synthesis capabilitiesgain profound understanding of the internal representation learned by stateoftheart largescale models and unveil new priors about our dynamic

computational microscopy of cells

as an integral part of cell architecture cell membranes are central to cell functioning comprising a heterogeneous mixture of proteins and lipids cell membranes are constantly adapting their structural organization to regulate cellular processes malfunction at the level of lipidprotein interaction is implicated in numerous diseases and hence understanding cell membrane organization at the molecular level is of critical importance unfortunately our current understanding is limited which is due to the lack of methods for studying these fluctuating nanoscale assemblies in vivo at the required spatiotemporal resolution an important tool for studying cellular processes is through molecular simulation denoted computational microscopy computational microscopy has been used to study small membrane patches in isolation but until now cell membranes have not been simulated in their natural context i intend to apply computational microscopy at the wholecell level to study complex membrane structures and their function within the cellular environment this requires challenging methodological innovations at the crossroads of biology life sciences physics and chemistry in this project i will use advanced computational microscopy to study the interplay of membranes with their surroundings in a realistic cellular environment the main goal is to establish a framework for the simulation at molecular resolution of entire cells and cell organelles
describing and characterizing grain boundaries in zrnb alloys

stress corrosion and macroscopic growth of cladding materials used in nuclear reactors are topics of technological interest as the reduction in co2 and use of green energy is one of the core objectives of the european union under irradiation material deterioration is influenced by point defects produced in large quantity and grain boundaries gbs in this context investigating their interactions is of fundamental importance which implies identifying the nature of the gbs therefore in this project the main objective will be to generate classify and characterize gbs in zirconium alloys used as cladding tubes by resorting to relevant modelling tools at the atomic scale molecular statics and dynamics since this type of information is lacking for zirconium alloys and is difficult to obtain experimentally a second goal of the project will be the specific study of the nb alloying effect due to the technological interest of this element through i the determination of its segregation energy and tendency in the vicinity of the gbs and ii the influence of its gb segregation on the deformation mechanisms of zirconium alloys due to the expected large amount of numerical data generated mainly due to the multiplicity of the gbs investigated a statistical analysis will be performed to assess the relevance of the descriptors used to characterize the gbs and to establish correlations with the gb properties
embryonic control of trends and variation in avian colour patterns

most animals display striking patterns ie spatial arrangement of characters in typical geometries natural patterns vary extensively but also display trends within given taxa a major biological challenge is to identify the patternforming events that shape this typical phenotypic landscape here we propose to study the mechanisms responsible for the formation and evolution of the avian colour pattern ie the spatial distribution of colour across the plumage we test the provocative idea that despite enormous apparent diversity variation in avian colour patterns is in fact very limited due to early developmental constraints most variation resulting from colour choice changes in a common template to test this hypothesis we designed a stepwise approach organised in 4 specific research objectives first we will identify broadly shared and groupspecific colour domains in the avian plumage by performing a quantitative survey across the entire bird phylogeny second we will pinpoint the embryonic origin of these colour domains by constructing a lineage map of the developing skin third we will identify positional cues controlling the establishment of embryonic blueprints of the future colour pattern by performing comparative expression analyses and functional tests in species displaying relevant pattern variation fourth we will uncover changes in mechanisms through which embryonic blueprints implement the pattern in the late skin by pinpointing genetic loci coevolving with pattern changes and testing their effect in an ex vivo system in each objective our methodology opportunistically uses nonmodel species of birds and robust functional testing performed in multiple species together this proposal represents the largest comparative study of developmental processes undertaken in natural populations of birds results will provide a comprehensive understanding of the developmental mechanisms underlying trends and variation in natural patterns

collaborative development and dissemination of workflows and techniques for using correlative light electron and xray microscopy to progress research into the understanding and treatment of diseases

correlative multimode imaging is the only way to reveal a composite view of a biological sample with the multidimensional information about its macro meso and microscopic structure dynamics function and chemical composition that is required in order to understand biomedical processes and diseasesproject clexm addresses an urgent need to demonstrate promote and disseminate the benefits of this technique in the fields of disease and drug therapy research and especially to earlycareer researchers the premise of project clexm is that there is a growing need for disease and drug therapy researchers to understand the linkages between structural and functional changes that occur in a cell and to be able to observe these from the cellular micrometre to the molecular nanometre scale correlative light and electron microscopy clem is the current stateoftheart for achieving this but the technique is extremely complex and slow clexm postulates that the integration of a third imaging modality soft xray tomography sxt into clem will make it easier and faster for researchers to correlate cellular structure with cellular function correlative light electron and xray microscopy clexm can be combined in a number of ways and the benefits will be demonstrated in a number of different use cases this would be too difficult and too much to achieve as a single research project or as a single msca postdoctoral fellowship however it lends itself to be most easily achieved as a network of complementary individual projects under an msca doctoral network actionthe overarching objective of project clexm is to provide highlevel training in the field of correlative multimode imaging to a new generation of doctoral candidates to provide them with the transferrable skills necessary for thriving careers in a highgrowth area that will aid researchers in their quest to understand disease and to develop effective therapies
planar capacitors for high temperature and midfrequency operation

capacitors are ubiquitous in any electronic device with aluminium and tantalum electrolytic capacitors used whenever larger capacitances are required however they suffer from reliability issues especially when operating at high temperatures a temperature increase of 10 c halves their life in the case of tantalum there is an additional concern it is considered a critical raw material that generates environmental and societal concerns and it has been gaining a lot of attention from capacitor manufacturers in the search for an alternative technology solution pcap project brings an alternative to aluminium and tantalum electrolytic capacitors planar electric double layer capacitors pedlcs with enhanced performance at mid frequencies and high temperature edlcs are energy storage devices with a much larger dc capacitance than capacitors and excellent cyclability but current technology behave as resistors at frequencies greater than 1 hz under the right conditions we have proven that they can operate at higher frequencies 1200 hz while maintaining the merits of edlcs large capacitance and extended lifetime moreover when thermally stable ionic liquids are used as electrolyte they can operate at temperatures above 200 c in the pcap project a trl7 prototype bipolar capacitor that can operate at 250 c with an operating life of more than 1000 h at this temperature and a rated voltage above 40 v will be manufactured this prototype will be used as a minimum viable product to validate the device in applications where reliability and hightemperature are required such as mining and electric vehicles the main project goal is to reach a precommercial stage with a clear roadmap for upscaling production and start pilot testing during the project our long term vision is to further miniaturise the technology and provide a tantalumfree solution for smartphones tablets and printed circuit boards used in all electronic equipment
