T h e proposal to divide manic depressive illness into separate bipolar (alternating mania and depression) and unipolar (recurrent depression or recurrent mania) psychoses was first brought-forward by Leonhard (1959), but it was Angst (1966) who first produced convincing evidence in support of the divison. Perris (1968) was able to show that bipolar illness started on average of fifteen years e...

Chord chroma representations have proven quite successful for chords detection from audio as they allow to infer chord labels1. These chroma representations, and more specifically Harmonic Pitch Class Profiles (HPCPs), can also be derived from chords in symbolic notation (e.g. [E2 G#3 B3 E4]). Paiement et al.2 have shown how the Euclidian distance between HPCPs matches perceptual closeness of c...

The ampA gene plays a role in Dictyostelium discoideum cell migration. Loss of ampA function results in reduced ability of growing cells to migrate to folic acid and causes small plaques on bacterial lawns, while overexpression of AmpA results in a rapid-migration phenotype and correspondingly larger plaques than seen with wild-type cells. To help understand how the ampA gene functions, second-...

Methods 66 consecutive patients who fulfilled inclusion criteria underwent two CMRs: 2-4 days (baseline) and 6 months (follow-up) after the AMI, comprising SSFP images for analysis of left ventricular functions and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI (0.1 mmol/Kg; DOTAREM, GUERBET, Roissy, France) for infarct analysis using a threshold method. Of 132 CMRs, 6 (4 from baseline) were non-diagnos...
