SCRAPPER Regulates the Thresholds of Long-Term Potentiation/Depression, the Bidirectional Synaptic Plasticity in Hippocampal CA3-CA1 Synapses by Hiroshi Takagi, Mitsutoshi Setou, Seiji Ito, Ikuko Yao

“…Here, we recorded the induction of long-term potentiation/depression (LTP/LTD) in CA3-CA1 synapses in E3 ubiquitin ligase SCRAPPER-deficient hippocampal slices. Compared to wild-type mice, Scrapper-knockout mice exhibited LTDs with smaller magnitudes after induction with low-frequency stimulation and LTPs with larger magnitudes after induction with tetanus stimulation. …”

Aestheticising the Blackfoot Valley (Montana, USA), or How to Reconcile the Mining Frontier and the Eco-Frontier by Sylvain Guyot, Gabrielle Saumon

“…An entirely private, site-specific art project (Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in the Wild) creates the possibility of offering an alternative resource to be shared by eco-gentrifiers and a local population adjusting to a post-extractive order, and indeed its site-specific works resonate with both the valley’s mining past and its untamed nature. …”

La gestion de la santé animale en butte avec la montagne corse : répondre aux enjeux sanitaires et territoriaux du secteur porcin sur parcours by Marie Gisclard, Bastien Trabucco, François Charrier

“…Faced with the multiplication of emerging diseases, public policy standards on animal health consider that the maintenance of free-range areas presents a risk of emergence because they allow interactions between wild and domestic animals. Focusing on pig farming, this article examines the contradictions between these standards and the issues specific to Corsican pastoral farming and looks at the development of local public policy in response to these contradictions. …”

Inhibition of Carrageenan-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation by PPAR Agonists Is Dependent on Hepatocyte-Specific Retinoid X Receptor Alpha by Yu-Jui Yvonne Wan, Mostafa Z. Badr

“…Because retinoid X receptors are obligate heterodimer partners of PPARs, we investigated the impact of deleting hepatocyte-specific RXRα on the antiedema effect of PPAR agonists. In wild-type mice (WT), pretreatment with the PPARα agonist perfluorooctanoic acid diminished carrageenan-induced paw edema by 66±10%. …”

Multialgorithmic Frameworks for Human Face Recognition by Radhey Shyam, Yogendra Narain Singh

“…The robustness of proposed multialgorithmic frameworks of face recognition system is tested on publicly available databases, for example, AT & T (ORL) and Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW). The experimental results show a significant improvement in recognition accuracies of the proposed frameworks of face recognition system in comparison to their individual methods. …”

Revisiting two hypotheses on the “domestication syndrome” in light of genomic data by A. S. Wilkins

“…Domesticated mammals of many different species share a set of physical and physiological traits that are not displayed by any of their wild progenitors. This suite of traits, now termed the “domestication syndrome” (DS), has been a puzzle since Charles Darwin discovered it. …”

Building for speech: designing the next-generation of social robots for audio interaction by Angus Addlesee, Ioannis Papaioannou

“…Robots need better speakers, a greater number of high-quality microphones, quieter motors, and quieter fans to enable human-robot spoken interaction in the wild. If a robot was designed to meet these requirements, researchers could create SDSs that are more accessible, and able to handle multi-party conversations in populated environments. …”

Mathematical modeling predicts that endemics by generalist insects are eradicated if nearly all plants produce constitutive defense by Suman Chakraborty, Shalu Dwivedi, Stefan Schuster

“…Sufficient data are also available to conclude that plant defenses act as deterrent and repellent to attacking herbivores, particularly deleterious generalist insects. In the wild, generalist species are usually not endemic, meaning they are not restricted to certain plant species in a region. …”
