Oncomodulin (OM) is a small, acidic calcium-binding protein first discovered in a rat hepatoma and later found in placental cytotrophoblasts, the pre-implantation embryo, and in a wide variety of neoplastic tissues. OM was considered to be exclusively an oncofetal protein until its recent detection in extracts of the adult guinea pig's organ of Corti. Here we report that light and electron micr...

The need to bridge between the unstructured data on the Document Web and the structured data on the Web of Data has led to the development of a considerable number of annotation tools. However, these tools are hard to compare due to the diversity of data sets and measures used for evaluation. We will demonstrate GERBIL, an evaluation framework for semantic entity annotation that provides develo...

A frustrating reality of neuroscience is the tendency of neurons to respond in different ways to repeated presentations of identical stimuli. This variability might arise from several different sources, but to some extent, particularly at the level of sensory transduction, it is noise in the purest sense. In principle, the effects of noise can be mitigated by either averaging across time or acr...
