Digital Three-Dimensional Atlas of Quail Development Using High-Resolution MRI by Seth W. Ruffins, Melanie Martin, Lindsey Keough, Salina Truong, Scott E. Fraser, Russell E. Jacobs, Rusty Lansford

“…We present an archetypal set of three-dimensional digital atlases of the quail embryo based on microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (μMRI). The atlases are composed of three modules: (1) images of fixed ex ovo quail, ranging in age from embryonic day 5 to 10 (e05 to e10); (2) a coarsely delineated anatomical atlas of the μMRI data; and (3) an organ system-based hierarchical graph linked to the anatomical delineations. …”

Lipidomic Analysis of Endocannabinoid Signaling: Targeted Metabolite Identification and Quantification by Jantana Keereetaweep, Kent D. Chapman

“…The endocannabinoids N-arachidonoylethanolamide (or anandamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) belong to the larger groups of N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) and monoacylglycerol (MAG) lipid classes, respectively. They are biologically active lipid molecules that activate G-protein-coupled cannabinoid receptors found in various organisms. …”

Beyond nationalism? The inter-war period and some features of the complex transformation of southeastern Europe by Basciani Alberto

“…This essay aims to elucidate the main knots and contradictions in the internal and international life of the countries of Balkan Europe, showing how efforts to change political and social structures encountered enormous obstacles in the intrinsic weakness of those socio-economic structures, but also in the will of important segments of the Balkan ruling classes, especially those who had realised the nationalistic dreams of the decades before the Great War, to reassert the supremacy of their respective power and ethnic groups. …”

Application of diosmin at intrahepatic portal hypertension by G. K. Mirodzhov, S. A. Avezov, M. M. Giyasov, S. G. Mirodzhova

“…Comparative investigation of efficacy of monotherapy by enalapril (10 mg/day) and phlebodia600 (1200 mg/day), and their combination at portal hypertension has been carried out at 35 patients with LC of Child-Pugh classes A and B.Results. Phlebodia-600 more significantly, than enalapril, decreased diameter of portal and splenic veins, but had no essential effect on peripheral blood flow velocity. …”

Hybrid neural networks for continual learning inspired by corticohippocampal circuits by Qianqian Shi, Faqiang Liu, Hongyi Li, Guangyu Li, Luping Shi, Rong Zhao

“…Inspired by this, we develop a corticohippocampal circuits-based hybrid neural network (CH-HNN) that emulates these dual representations, significantly mitigating catastrophic forgetting in both task-incremental and class-incremental learning scenarios. Our CH-HNNs incorporate artificial neural networks and spiking neural networks, leveraging prior knowledge to facilitate new concept learning through episode inference, and offering insights into the neural functions of both feedforward and feedback loops within corticohippocampal circuits. …”

Protection de l’environnement et développement touristique en station : du conflit à l’organisation des proximités by Emmanuelle Marcelpoil, Laurent Langlois

“…Here we revert back to a negotiation process concerning an environmental issue and its consequences in terms of nature and intensity of the proximities between class agents. The challenge for the future is to follow these new inter-linked proximities and discern whether they lead to true environmental governance in the tourist areas concerned such as the resorts.…”
