On a Finite-Size Neuronal Population Equation

Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz, Eva Löcherbach

Population equations for infinitely large networks of spiking neurons have a long tradition in theoret-ical neuroscience. In this work, we analyze a recent generalization of these equations to populations of finite size, which takes the form of a nonlinear ...

Housing, street and health: a new systemic research framework

Paola Viganò, Stéphane Joost, Dusan Licina, Anna Pagani, Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon, Mathias Lerch, Catarina Wall Gago, Derek Pierre Christie, Idris Guessous

As the world’s population grows in cities, urban dwellers spend a large amount of time inside their home, making housing health ever more important. Critical for residents’ health, the interactions between indoor residential environments and outdoor enviro ...

Cortical ensembles orchestrate social competition through hypothalamic outputs

Hao Li

Most social species self-organize into dominance hierarchies(1,2), which decreases aggression and conserves energy(3,4), but it is not clear how individuals know their social rank. We have only begun to learn how the brain represents social rank(5-9) and g ...

Mycobacterium leprae diversity and population dynamics in medieval Europe from novel ancient genomes

Stewart Cole, Charlotte Avanzi, Philippe Busso

Background Hansen's disease (leprosy), widespread in medieval Europe, is today mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions with around 200,000 new cases reported annually. Despite its long history and appearance in historical records, its origins ...

Symptom Prediction and Mortality Risk Calculation for COVID-19 Using Machine Learning

Nahal Mansouri, Sahand Jamal Rahi

Background: Early prediction of symptoms and mortality risks for COVID-19 patients would improve healthcare outcomes, allow for the appropriate distribution of healthcare resources, reduce healthcare costs, aid in vaccine prioritization and self-isolation ...

Fast screening of covariates in population models empowered by machine learning

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Nadia Terranova

One of the objectives of Pharmacometry (PMX) population modeling is the identification of significant and clinically relevant relationships between parameters and covariates. Here, we demonstrate how this complex selection task could benefit from supervise ...

Inference methods for the study of interacting biological oscillators in single-cells

Colas Noé Droin

Biological oscillators are pervasive in biology, covering all aspects of life from enzyme kinetics reactions to population dynamics. Although their behaviour has been intensively studied in the last decades, the recent advances of high-throughput experimen ...

Thinking like a consumer: Linking aquatic basal metabolism and consumer dynamics

Tom Ian Battin, Marta Boix Canadell, Janine Rüegg

The increasing availability of high‐frequency freshwater ecosystem metabolism data provides an opportunity to identify links between metabolic regimes, as gross primary production and ecosystem respiration patterns, and consumer energetics with the potenti ...

Effects of altered river network connectivity on the distribution of Salmo trutta: Insights from a metapopulation model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Alexia Maria Gonzalez Ferreras

Network connectivity is a key feature of rivers that affects patterns and processes in lotic ecosystems. Few studies have considered how changes in river reach connectivity might affect ecosystem attributes at a whole river network scale. The use of popula ...

Comparative analysis of time-based and quadrat sampling in seasonal population dynamics of intermediate hosts of human schistosomes

Andrea Rinaldo, Theophile Mande, Francisco Javier Perez Saez

Background Despite their importance for designing and evaluating schistosomiasis control trials, little attention in the literature has been dedicated to sampling protocols for the parasite's snail intermediate hosts since their first development. We propo ...

Population modelling of the He II energy levels in tokamak plasmas: I. Collisional excitation model

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Cristian Sommariva, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Alessandro Pau, Philippe Janson, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà, Pamela Solange Valdés Undurraga, Andrea Salmi, Javier García Hernández, Semin Kwak, Jose Felix Vega Stavro, Hugo Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Riccardo Vannucci, Yao Zhou, Henri Weisen, Richard Pitts, Davide Galassi, Sun Hee Kim, Yann Camenen, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Jan Horacek, Liang Yao, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Federico Nespoli, David Pfefferlé, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Bernhard Sieglin, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Hamish William Patten, Otto Asunta, Samuel Lanthaler, Robin Humphry-Baker, Fernando Cortes Salazar, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Alexis Gérald Page, Daniel Scott Alessi, Luca Carraro, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Tao Xu, Mario Joe Lehmann, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Arnout Lodewijk M Beckers, Matthew Brown, Michael Oliver Reinke, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa, Wei Tang, Stefano Mattei, Lenke Horváth, Magalie Diane Bassan, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa, Petre Alexandru Arion, Candice Megan T Young, Vlad Trifa, Stéphanie Prior, Lyne Moser, Daniel Molina Romero, Philippe Jean Buchs, Justin Robert Young, Paulo Giovane Paschoali Pereira Puglia, Partha Dutta

Helium is widely used as a fuel or minority gas in laboratory fusion experiments, and will be present as ash in DT thermonuclear plasmas. It is therefore essential to have a good understanding of its atomic physics. To this end He II population modelling h ...

E-coli-MS2 bacteriophage interactions during solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent post-irradiation period

César Pulgarin, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Stefanos Giannakis, Margaux Océane Voumard

In this study, the effect of MS2 bacteriophage on the inactivation of its Escherichia coli host was evaluated in an effort to recreate some the main factors governing solar disinfection of wastewater (namely microbial growth, infection, photonic flux). As ...

The Demographic History of African Drosophila melanogaster

Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Stefan Jean Laurent

As one of the most commonly utilized organisms in the study of local adaptation, an accurate characterization of the demographic history of Drosophila melanogaster remains as an important research question. This owes both to the inherent interest in charac ...

Stochastic bedload transport in mountain streams

Christophe Ancey

Describing bedload transport as a stochastic process is an idea that emerged in the 1930s with the pioneering work of Einstein. For a long time, the stochastic approach attracted marginal attention, but the situation has radically changed over the last dec ...

Nonclassical statistics from a polaritonic Josephson junction

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We theoretically study the emission statistics of a weakly nonlinear photonic dimer during coherent oscillations. We show that the phase and population dynamics allow to periodically meet an optimal squeezing condition resulting in a strongly nonclassical ...

Two sides of the same coin: A population genetics perspective on lethal mutagenesis and mutational meltdown

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

The extinction of RNA virus populations upon application of a mutagenic drug is frequently referred to as evidence for the existence of an error threshold, above which the population cannot sustain the mutational load. To explain the extinction process aft ...
