We organized a Challenge to unravel the connectivity of simulated neuronal networks. The provided data was solely based on fluorescence time series of spontaneous activity in a network constituted by 1000 neurons. The task of the participants was to compute the effective connectivity between neurons, with the goal to reconstruct as accurately as possible the ground truth topology of the network...

OBJECTIVE A recent study (Lemaire) estimated the life expectancy loss attributable to gun deaths at 103.6 days for the overall U.S. population: 150.7 days for white males and 361.5 days for black males. This study estimates the life expectancy loss attributable to the premature death of individuals who initially survived gun-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) in t...

Lonomia Walker, 1855 is a genus of Lepidoptera belonging to the Saturniidae whose caterpillars have defense system based on scoli connected venom glands, which can cause medical accidents envenomation, thereby making this medically important. In work, camox Lemaire, 1971, recorded for first time in Brazil, more specifically state Amazonas. Photographs male and female genitalia an updated map wi...

Legacy is defined as something handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor. The legacy of a great scientist includes not only their seminal work, but also the people they have mentored and inspired. Immunologist William Erwin Paul, who died on September 18 of this year, left just such a legacy. Bill Paul, as everyone knew him, was an extraordinary scientist, administrator, and...

Our mouth waters when we think of our favourite food, and so does that of a dog. But can we know what a dog is thinking about? An experimental entry to a dog's mind was achieved by Pavlov through a rather convoluted chain of studies performed at the beginning of the century that is now coming to an end. His approach is now common knowledge. If presentation of food is preceded every time by a be...

The crystal structure of the title compound, Tb2Ni7, was redetermined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with previous studies based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Lemaire et al. (1967). C. R. Acad. Sci. Ser. B, 265, 1280-1282; Lemaire & Paccard (1969). Bull. Soc. Fr. Mineral. Cristallogr. 92, 9-16; Buschow & van der Goot (1970). J. Less-Common Met. 22, 419-428], the p...
