Downsystem grain-size trends and mass balance of an ancient wave-influenced sediment routing system: Middle Jurassic Brent Delta, northern North Sea, offshore UK and Norway by Ikenna C. Okwara, Gary J. Hampson, Alexander C. Whittaker, Gareth G. Roberts

“…Few of the Brent Group sediment routing systems exhibit the downsystem-fining grain-size trend predicted by sediment mass balance theory. Deviations from this reference trend reflect: (1) sparse sampling of channelised fluvial and fluvio-tidal sand bodies in upsystem locations; (2) preferential trapping of sand in underfilled antecedent and syn-depositional, half-graben depocentres in genetic sequences J22 and J32; and (3) nearshore retention of sand by shoaling waves in wave-dominated shoreface and barrier-strandplain systems. …”

Vix (Côte-d’Or) et l’émergence des principautés celtiques : l’hypothèse portuaire et le concept de port of trade by Bruno Chaume

“…However, to suggest that this alone would explain the princely seat phenomenon at the end of the Early Iron Age was risky, not much more than a guess, and further proof is required to substantiate it. Even though Pauli’s theory has its weak points, it incites us to discuss the concept of port of trade, as defined by Polanyi, and to question Luc Baray’s application of this notion to the Celtic princely seats of the Late Hallstatt period, a time when the princely system was at its apogee. …”

Neural activity responsiveness by maturation of inhibition underlying critical period plasticity by Ibuki Matsumoto, Sou Nobukawa, Sou Nobukawa, Sou Nobukawa, Sou Nobukawa, Takashi Kanamaru, Takashi Kanamaru, Yusuke Sakemi, Yusuke Sakemi, Nina Sviridova, Nina Sviridova, Tomoki Kurikawa, Nobuhiko Wagatsuma, Kazuyuki Aihara, Kazuyuki Aihara

“…Accumulating evidence indicates that the maturation of inhibitory circuits, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid and parvalbumin-positive interneurons, plays a crucial role in CPs and contributes to generating gamma oscillations. A previous theory of the CP mechanism suggested that the maturation of inhibition suppresses internally driven spontaneous activity and enables synaptic plasticity to respond to external stimuli. …”
