Cloud-based LaTeX editors for collaborative academic projects, case study in Overleaf
Cloud-based LaTeX editors like Overleaf have revolutionized document preparation, partic- ularly in STEM fields, by offering intuitive interfaces and extensive formatting capabilities. This work explores the advantages of ...
Love, money, fame, nudge: enabling data-intensive bioscience through digital infrastructure nudging
“Bioscience has emerged as a data-rich discipline, in a transformation that is spreading as widely now as molecular biology in the twentieth century. We look forward to supporting new research careers, where data are valued ...
The challenge of rationally predicting distal activity-enhancing mutations in computational enzyme design
Enzymes exist as an ensemble of conformational states, whose populations can be shifted by substrate binding, allosteric interactions, but also by introducing mutations to their sequence. Tuning the populations of the ...
Use of activity theory to analyse and improve project-based courses
Teaching has long been viewed as both an art and a craft. In this context, we may recognise that there are parts of teaching and education that are hard to quantify and frequently escape rigorous analysis. Pedagogical ...
EPS@ISEP: mapping sustainability
The European Project Semester (EPS) is a project-based learning framework designed to prepare engineering undergraduates for future professional challenges. During one semester, multicultural multidisciplinary teams design, ...
A future-proof design for long-running MPI-based computations in HPC
Support for long-running computations on supercomputers has long been a pain point. To maintain scheduling flexibility, sysadmins set a maximum resource allocation (e.g., 48 hours) for HPC jobs. Sysadmins also often offer ...
inDust Webinar: A quarter century of dust sources detection from space
Since the first use of aerosol optical depth retrieved from space over ocean to infer dust sources by Usar, Prospero and Stowe in 1997 to tomorrow launch (fingers crossed) of the first hyperspectral instrument (Earth Surace ...
Nine practical examples of EPS projects
For over a decade, the Vilanova i la Geltrú City Council has collaborated with the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) to develop projects beneficial to the city. This partnership involves three UPC schools: the School ...
A topological data analysis perspective on viral evolution
COVID-19 is a disease caused by a coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. As the virus has been spreading around the world, millions of viral genomes have been sequenced. Genomes provide an accurate record of variation and evolution ...
Galaxy : beyond the user interface
To enable research to do data intensive analysis, Galaxy is a commonly used research environment which provides a user interface which hides the complexity of using (super)computing clusters and cloud infrastructure. Behind ...
Parallel robust solution of triangular equations
Triangular linear systems are central to the solution of general linear systems, the calculations of eigenvectors, and the solution of Sylvester matrix equations. In the absence of floating-point exceptions, simple ...
Driving knowledge and community engagement through the railway
Railways are a key piece of mobility and play a central role in transport decarbonization. For this reason, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) at Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain, in collaboration with companies ...
Sex and gender differences in brain and mental health: Selected use cases on how to tackle them and sex and gender bias in artificial intelligence for health
Over the last years, sex and gender differences have been studies across several diseases yet a full elucidation and pratical solutions addressing those are still lacking. The Women's Brain Project aims is a non-profit ...
The benefits of the EPS project for museums: a case study of the railway museum of Catalonia
The European Project Semester (EPS) has been a valuable initiative for numerous insti- tutions seeking to integrate interdisciplinary learning with real-world applications. This paper outlines the benefits that the EPS ...
Towards controlled protein design with deep unsupervised models
The design of proteins with specific functions has the potential to tackle biomedical, environmental, and industrial challenges in a biodegradable and cost-effective manner. Traditional protein design approaches have relied ...
Digital transformation and artificial intelligence: using AI to learn about health from opinion and behaviour data
Digital Transformation is a new academic area focusing on transformation of businesses, organisations, and government happening due to massive use and innovation of digital technology. I will present an approach to Health ...
