Numerical characterization of bump formation in the runaway electron tail

Runaway electrons are generated in a magnetized plasma when the parallel electric field exceeds a critical value. For such electrons with energies typically reaching tens of MeV, the Abrahamâ Lorentzâ Dirac (ALD) radiation force, in reaction to the synch ...

The Drosophila gut response to infection : a systems approach

Maroun Bou Sleiman

Genetic, physiological, and biochemical studies have successfully ascribed functions to genes in diverse processes. However, the majority of our knowledge in biology is qualitative in nature and is usually based on classical screens, where large effects on ...

Characterization of DprE1-Mediated Benzothiazinone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Jérémie Piton, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Jan Lars Rybniker, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Benoit Lechartier, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Andréanne Lupien, Stefanie Boy-Röttger

Benzothiazinones (BTZs) are a class of compounds found to be extremely potent against both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. The potency of BTZs is explained by their specificity for their target decaprenylphosphoryl-D ...

TEMPLE: analysing population genetic variation at transcription factor binding sites

Stefan Jean Laurent, Maria Litovchenko

Genetic variation occurring at the level of regulatory sequences can affect phenotypes and fitness in natural populations. This variation can be analysed in a population genetic framework to study how genetic drift and selection affect the evolution of the ...

Electrochemical Studies of Water Splitting in Organic Media

Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta

The development of new routes towards the generation of environmentally friendly solar fuels, such as molecular hydrogen (H2) for use in fuel cells, is a grand challenge facing the scientific community. In this regard, water splitting represents one of the ...

Phenotypic heterogeneity in metabolic traits among single cells of a rare bacterial species in its natural environment quantified with a combination of flow cell sorting and NanoSIMS

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Martin Ackermann

Populations of genetically identical microorganisms residing in the same environment can display marked variability in their phenotypic traits; this phenomenon is termed phenotypic heterogeneity. The relevance of such heterogeneity in natural habitats is u ...

Multi Terminal Probabilistic Compressed Sensing

Saeid Haghighatshoar

In this paper, the ‘Approximate Message Passing’ (AMP) algorithm, initially developed for compressed sensing of signals under i.i.d. Gaussian measurement matrices, has been extended to a multi-terminal setting (MAMP algorithm). It has been shown that simil ...

Contribution of Genetic Background, Traditional Risk Factors, and HIV-Related Factors to Coronary Artery Disease Events in HIV-Positive Persons

Jacques Fellay

Background. Persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have increased rates of coronary artery disease (CAD). The relative contribution of genetic background, HIV-related factors, antiretroviral medications, and traditional risk factors to CA ...
