(In: Rosenblith, W.A. (Ed.), Sensory Communication, Wiley, New York, pp. 303–317). Based on simple behavioural experiments, Reichardt proposed an elegant computational account of motion processing by the visual system of the Chlorophanus beetle. His proposal has been simplified, elaborated and reinvented on at least one occasion but remains the most influential model of visual motion processing...

Tropical Geometry is a rapidly developing field at the interface of algebraic geometry and polyhedral combinatorics. In [14] and [42] tropical geometry was related to constructing compactifications of certain non-compact algebraic varieties. To a subvariety X of an algebraic torus there exist compactifications X with boundaries D = X\X with desirable properties, and such that the structure of D...

in vivo pharmacological profile of substituted (3-pyridyl)-2-phenylisoxazolidine analogues of nicotine as novel antinociceptives

nicotinic ligands have been studied as novel therapeutic interventions in pain therapeutics since a long time. several nicotinic agonists have been withdrawn from later stages of clinical trials due to lack of efficacy or narrow therapeutic window. these have been documented to act in the central nervous system and produce a wide range of pharmacological effects, including memory enhancing and ...

Microbially produced phytotoxins and plant disease management

Pathogenic fungi and bacteria often damage their host (plants) tissues by producing toxic metabolites, which induced various symptoms such as necrosis, chlorosis, wilting, water soaking and eventually the death of plants. These toxic metabolites also known is one of the weapons used by pathogen inducing disease condition in susceptible host plants. Many pathogens are known to produce toxins bot...
