water desalination for agriculture, necessity, importance and limitations
today, shortage of fresh water especially in arid and semi-arid regions has caused several difficulties. whatever more than 70 percent of the earth is water, but also high salinity of water resources, caused serious restrictions for human to use these resources. therefore, desalination has attracted all attentions more than any time. between different water consumers in the country, agricultur...
full textLimitations of Bayesian Evidence Applied to Cosmology
There has been increasing interest in applying Bayesian techniques for model selection (such as Bayesian Evidence) to problems in cosmology. A typical example is in assessing whether observational data favour a cosmological constant over evolving dark energy. In this paper, the example of dark energy is used to illustrate limitations in the application of Bayesian Evidence associated with subje...
full textX-Optogenetics and U-Optogenetics: Feasibility and Possibilities
Optogenetics as developed by Dr. Karl Deisseroth and others has been a transformative technology in the area of neuroscience. By stimulating genetically-modified neurons with visible light, modulation of the ionic conduction across the cell membrane can be achieved with very high specificity and precise temporal control. Despite the major influence of this technique, its scope is limited by its...
full textOptogenetics : development and application
In 1979, Francis Crick delineated the major challenges facing neuroscience and called for a technology by which all neurons of just one type could be controlled, “leaving the others more or less unaltered”. A new set of technologies now called optogenetics, synthesizing microbial opsins and solid-state optics, has achieved the goal of millisecond-precision bidirectional control of defined cell ...
full textMolecular epidemiology: assumptions and limitations of commonly applied methods.
An understanding of the epidemiology of a disease (i.e. its aetiology, transmission patterns) is crucial for the development and implementation of effective management practices. This requires sound epidemiological data. It is therefore important that scientists understand the assumptions and limitations of the methods used to gather such data. The aim of this paper is to discuss some of the as...
full textOptogenetics and translational medicine.
Optogenetic tools enable light-mediated control of cellular excitability and signaling in vivo. By manipulating biological processes, scientists can determine the roles played by these processes in intact biological systems, such as the brain. Such cellular-level control has greatly affected basic science. Here, we discuss how optogenetic tools might be translated into clinical impact through i...
