Real-time simulation of organs increases comfort and safety for patients during the surgery. Proper generalized decomposition (PGD) is an efficient numerical method with coordinate errors below 1 mm and response time below 0.1 s that can be used for ...
Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome is commonly treated with minimally invasive laser surgery in fetoscopy. The inter-foetal membrane is used as a reference to find abnormal anastomoses. Membrane identification is a challenging task due to small field ...
The reaction-diffusion equation serves to model systems in the diffusion regime with sources. Specific applications include diffusion processes in chemical reactions, as well as the propagation of species, diseases, and populations in general. In som...

There is still a significant gap between our understanding of neural circuits and the behaviours they compute-i.e. the computations performed by these neural networks (Carandini 2012 , 507-509. (doi:10.1038/nn.3043)). Cellular decision-making process...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer with a high mortality rate and a rising incidence rate in the developed world. Molecular profiling techniques have been used to better understand the variability between tumors and disease models such as cel...
