Spike timing is precise in the auditory system and it has been argued that it conveys information 006719f about auditory stimuli, in particular about the location of a sound source.However, beyond simple time differences, the way in which neurons might extract this information is unclear and the potential computational advantages are unknown.The co
Abstract Background Policymakers are tasked with both driving the rapid expansion of renewable energy technologies and, additionally channelling the limited national potential of biomass into areas where it can provide the greatest benefit to the energy system.But do current policy instruments promote the use of biomass in these areas? As biomass i
The presence of apolipoprotein (apo) A-IMilano (A-IM) mutant of apoA-I has a marked effect on plasma lipoproteins of A-IM carriers including variable hypertriglyceridemia, increased levels of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), slightly elevated levels of triglyceride-enriched low density lipoproteins (LDL) and greatly reduced levels of high dens
PurposeTo explore the clinical phenotype and genetic defects of families with congenital aniridia.MethodsFour Chinese families with aniridia were enrolled in this study.The detailed ocular presentations of the patients were recorded.Whole exome sequencing (BGI MGIEasy V4 chip) was used to detect the gene mutation.Sanger sequencing was performed to
As the upsurge of information and communication technologies has become the foundation of all modern application domains, fueled by the unprecedented amount of data being processed and exchanged, besides security concerns, there are also pressing privacy considerations that come into play.Compounding this issue, there is currently a documented gap
