PAR Renaud Luc RICHARDET

In neuroscience, as in many other scientific domains, the primary form of knowledge dissemination is through published articles in peer-reviewed journals. One challenge for modern neuroinformatics is to design methods to make the knowledge from the tremendous backlog of publications accessible for search, analysis and its integration into computational models. In this thesis, we introduce novel...

Make it so ! Jean - Luc

In this paper, we report on a project applying participatory design methods to include people who have experience of social exclusion (in one form or another) in designing possible technologies for e-(local)-government services. The work was part of a project for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in the UK, and was concerned with ‘access tokens’ that can provide personal identification fo...

TEs or not TEs? That is the evolutionary question

Transposable elements (TEs) have contributed a wide range of functional sequences to their host genomes. A recent paper in BMC Molecular Biology discusses the creation of new transcripts by transposable element insertion upstream of retrocopies and the involvement of such insertions in tissue-specific post-transcriptional regulation.

SRON ' s TES Microcalorimeter

The 15-year development of the European interpretation of the Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter is described within this document. In essence, a TES microcalorimeter is a high-resolution cryogenic photon detector that converts temperature changes induced by incoming photons into changes in electrical resistance. Conceptually, the device consists of an absorber, a detector, heat sink...
