We investigated three methods for determination of cholinesterase (ChE) in human blood sera, using reference sera, sera of known ChE content, and serum variously diluted with deactivated sera. The methods were the Du Pont aca analyzer, the Pfizer "ChE-tel" method, and the Michel method with and without direct reagent-blank correction. With respect to precision and reproducibility the methods ra...

This paper describes an algorithm that can be applied to cosmic data in MicroBooNE to identify and cluster Michel electron showers and reconstruct their energy using only 2D reconstruction information. It takes into account charge and position information from the collection plane only. An accurate reconstruction of the Michel energy spectrum will be useful as a calibration method in the early ...

A brief story about late Professor Michel Bounias, a member of Advisory Board of Spacetime & Substance, is stated in the present note. His remarkable studies aimed at the understanding the constitution of the real space allow us to consider his findings as an actual breakthrough in the fundamental science. Bounias’ studies shed light on the organization of space arranged as a mathematical latti...

We study differential-geometrical structure of an information manifold equipped with a divergence function.A divergence function generates a Riemannian metric and furthermore it provides a symmetric third-order tensor,when the divergence is asymmetric. This induces a pair of affine connections dually coupled to each other withrespect to the Riemannian metric. This is the arising eme...

Michel Labouesse grew up near Paris. He studied maths and physics for a degree in engineering, but subsequently embraced a career in biology. He learned genetics during his PhD with Piotr Slonimski in Gif/Yvette, where he analysed how the nuclear genome controls expression of mitochondrial genes in yeast. He then went on to learn developmental biology of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a...
