Understanding the performance of software is complicated. For several performance metrics, in addition to the algorithmic complexity, one must also consider the dynamics of running a program within different combinations of hardware and software environments. Such dynamical aspects are not visible from the code alone, and any kind of static analysis falls short. For example, in reality, the...

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments are essential for prioritizing conservation needs but are resource intensive and therefore available only for a fraction of global species richness. Automated conservation assessments based on digitally available geographic occurrence records can be a rapid alternative, but it is unclear how reliable these assessments...

We focus on how institutional setting (institutional proximity) and network structure (cognitive and social proximity) influence the geography of international trade.

The roles and interactions of platelets and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver regeneration are unclear, and the trigger that initiates hepatocyte proliferation is unknown. We aimed to identify the key factors released by activated platelets that induce liver sinusoidal endothelial cells to produce interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine implicated in the early phase of liver regeneration....

Le « Facile à lire » (ou FAL) est un concept élaboré dans l’objectif de permettre l’accès à la lecture aux personnes qui sont éloignées de cette pratique. Il a d’abord été pensé pour les personnes ayant un handicap, physique ou cognitif, mais il peut s’étendre à bien d’autres publics qui ne pratiquent pas ou peu la lecture. La section romande de la Fondation Bibliomedia...
