Modulation of Astrocytes on Mode Selection of Neuron Firing Driven by Electromagnetic Induction by Zhongquan Gao, Zhixuan Yuan, Zuo Wang, Peihua Feng

“…But electromagnetic induction shows its strong ability of inhibition of neuron firing, which is also illustrated in the bifurcation diagram. Indeed, the combination of the two factors and appropriate choice of parameters show the great potential to control disorder of neuron firing like epilepsy.…”

Three-Dimensional Location and Mapping Analysis in Mobile Robotics Based on Visual SLAM Methods by Gustavo A. Acosta-Amaya, Juan M. Cadavid-Jimenez, Jovani A. Jimenez-Builes

“…However, in many cases, a model of the environment or map is not available to execute this task. Indeed, navigation requires a permanent estimation of the location for a map, which is not available for unknown environments. …”

L’aqueduc de Fontanières : un cinquième aqueduc romain à Lyon ? by Jean-Yves Barbier

“…Gabut had already rightly observed at the end of the 19th century, that the water would indeed have flowed from south to north towards Lyon/Lugdunum, rendering obsolete prior interpretations of an extension of the Brévenne aqueduct from its arrival at Saint-Irénée towards the south-east. …”

Hiroshima and Nagasaki at 65 – A Reflection by Norimatsu Satoko

“…On countless occasions this year, sixty-five years after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, I have heard and read that hibakusha (atomic-bomb survivors) are dying away, and that we need to eliminate nuclear weapons from the face of the earth, for the future of humanity, to be sure, but also so that their dying wishes are fulfilled. Indeed, hibakusha are not getting any younger. The average age of the 227,565 hibakusha who hold atomic-bomb health books as of March 2010 is 76.73. …”

Prediction of buckling damage of steel equal angle structural members using hybrid machine learning techniques by Nang Xuan Ho, Tien-Thinh Le, The-Hung Dinh, Van-Hai Nguyen

“…The hybrid PSOANN model was adopted because its prediction capability is higher than the traditional technique – i.e. scaled conjugate gradient (SCG). Indeed, ANN trained by PSO delivered better performance in terms of RMSE, MAE, ErrorStD, R2 and Slope in comparison to ANN trained by SCG, for instance. …”

Costimulatory Pathways: Physiology and Potential Therapeutic Manipulation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus by Nien Yee Kow, Anselm Mak

“…While SLE has classically been advocated as a B-cell or T-cell disease, it is unlikely that a particular cell type is more pathologically predominant than the others. Indeed, SLE is characterized by an orchestrated interplay amongst different types of immunopathologically important cells participating in both innate and adaptive immunity including the dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes, as well as traditional nonimmune cells such as endothelial, epithelial, and renal tubular cells. …”

Dynamical Variety of Shapes in Financial Multifractality by Stanisław Drożdż, Rafał Kowalski, Paweł Oświȩcimka, Rafał Rak, Robert Gȩbarowski

“…As an example, based on the long-term records of the S&P500 and NASDAQ—the two world-leading stock market indices—the present study shows that they indeed develop the multifractal features, but these features evolve through a variety of shapes, most often strongly asymmetric, whose changes typically are correlated with the historically most significant events experienced by the world economy. …”

PG102 Upregulates IL-37 through p38, ERK, and Smad3 Pathways in HaCaT Keratinocytes by Hyun-keun Kim, Seonung Lim, Min-Jung Bae, Wonwoo Lee, Sunyoung Kim

“…PG102 increased the expression of IL-37 at both mRNA and protein levels presumably by enhancing the phosphorylation of Smad3, ERK, and p38. Indeed, when cells were treated with specific inhibitors for these signaling molecules, the expression level of IL-37 was reduced. …”

NEW LABOUR 'ETHICAL' FOREIGN POLICY by N. A. Stepanova

“…The article discusses problems and contradictions associated with the attempt of the Labour Party under the leadership of Tony Blair to start a 'new era' in international relations by putting the 'ethical dimension' into the heart of their foreign policy. Indeed, having come to power and possessing great credibility among the British society, New Labour undertook a number of actions, which marked the formal break with the practices of the previous governments. …”

Relationship of Algebraic Theories to Powerset Theories and Fuzzy Topological Theories for Lattice-Valued Mathematics by S. E. Rodabaugh

“…This paper deals with a broad question—to what extent is topology algebraic—using two specific questions: (1) what are the algebraic conditions on the underlying membership lattices which insure that categories for topology and fuzzy topology are indeed topological categories; and (2) what are the algebraic conditions which insure that algebraic theories in the sense of Manes are a foundation for the powerset theories generating topological categories for topology and fuzzy topology? …”
