Atmospheric Aerosols Detection Research with a Dual Field of View Lidar by Lv Lihui, Zhang Tianshu, Liu Cheng, Dong Yunsheng, Chen Zhenyi, Fan Guangqiang, Liu Yang, Liu Wenqing

“…The signal detected by the CCD camera is corrected and finally glued with the signal of the backscatter lidar to retrieve the aerosol extinction coefficient with Fernald algorithm. The aerosol extinction profile and visibilities measured by the dual field of lidar had been compared with the results measured by another general backscatter lidar and a surface aerosol instrument, respectively. …”

Impact of Cell Size Effect on Nutrient-Phytoplankton Dynamics by Tiancai Liao, Hengguo Yu, Chuanjun Dai, Min Zhao

“…In the case of the stochastic model, the stochastic dynamics including the stochastic extinction, persistence in the mean, and the existence of ergodic stationary distribution is found to be largely dependent on cell size and noise intensity. …”

A meta-analysis of the effect of protein synthesis inhibitors on rodent fear conditioning by Carneiro, Clarissa F. D., Amorim, Felippe E., Amaral, Olavo B.

“…We detected robust effects of protein synthesis inhibitors on training and reconsolidation, but not on extinction, possibly due to the lower number of studies on the latter. …”

Hippocampal Regulation of Postsynaptic Density Homer1 by Associative Learning by Nicholas E. Clifton, Darren Cameron, Simon Trent, Lucy H. Sykes, Kerrie L. Thomas, Jeremy Hall

“…We also show for the first time that the two short Homer1 isoforms are regulated after the retrieval and extinction of contextual fear memory, albeit with distinct temporal and spatial profiles. …”

La primatologie comme vecteur d’éducation à la citoyenneté by Patrick Renault, Valérie Ribaute-Maunier

“…Centered around a scientific workshop in High School, pupils are encouraged to have a deeper look at the apes and the reason why they are threatened with extinction. From this new-found knowledge a civic awareness is born in the minds of the pupils and this leads them to share their findings and obtain improvements from decision makers and consumers alike.…”

The generalized Turner-Bradley-Kirk-Pruitt equation by Ray Redheffer

“…Several recent results pertaining to nonlinear equations of ecology are applied to a generalization of the Turner-Bradley-Kirk-Pruitt (TBKP) equation, which illustrates a variety of interesting possibilities as regards persistence and extinction. The chief novelty consists in exploiting the value set of the equation, that is, the set of values taken on by the solution as t increases from 0 to ∞. …”

Présent rétrospectif et détour post-humain chez Clifford Simak et Michel Houellebecq by Juliette Feyel

“…Both novels demonstrate the same kind of narratological device: our time (1950-2005) is portrayed by a narrating voice from beyond humankind’s extinction. The paper interrogates both novelists’ depiction of future times from a posthumanist perspective and reaches the conclusion that Simak appears to hold more antihumanistic views than Houellebecq.…”
