Educational Atlases as Mediators of Spatial Imaginations

Lie Groupoids as Generalized Atlases

Starting with some motivating examples (classsical atlases for a manifold, space of leaves of a foliation, group orbits), we propose to view a Lie groupoid as a generalized atlas for the “virtual structure” of its orbit space, the equivalence between atlases being here the smooth Morita equivalence. This “structure” keeps memory of the isotropy groups and of the smoothness as well. To take the ...

Towards Spatial Description-Based Integration of Biomedical Atlases

Biomedical imaging has become ubiquitous in both, basic research and the clinical sciences. Technology advances, and the resulting multitude of imaging modalities, have led to a sharp rise in the quantity and quality of such images. Whether for epidemiological studies, educational uses, monitoring the clinical progress of a patient or translational science purposes, being able to integrate and ...

Employment status and income as potential mediators of educational inequalities in population mental health

We assessed whether educational inequalities in mental health may be mediated by employment status and household income. Poor mental health was assessed using General Health Questionnaire 'caseness' in working age adult participants (N = 48 654) of the Health Survey for England (2001-10). Relative indices of inequality by education level were calculated. Substantial inequalities were apparent, ...

Chemokines as mediators of angiogenesis.

Chemokines were originally described as cytokines that mediate leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation. Members of a subgroup of chemokines, the CXC family, also play a critical role in both physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis, including in the context of chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and malignancy. A unique feature of this family of cytokines is that, on the basis of their struct...
