The effect of interspike interval statistics on the information gainunder the rate coding hypothesis by Shinsuke Koyama, Lubomir Kostal

“…The question, how much information can be theoreticallygained from variable neuronal firing rate with respect to constantaverage firing rate is investigated.We employ the statistical concept of information based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence,and assume rate-modulated renewal processes as a model of spike trains.We show thatif the firing rate variation is sufficiently small and slow(with respect to the mean interspike interval), the information gaincan be expressed by the Fisher information.Furthermore, under certain assumptions, the smallestpossible information gain is provided by gamma-distributed interspikeintervals.The methodology is illustrated and discussed on severaldifferent statistical models of neuronal activity.…”

Quantum Barnes Function as the Partition Function of the Resolved Conifold by Sergiy Koshkin

“…For the resolved conifold, this function turns out to be the quantum Barnes function, a natural q-deformation of the classical one that in its turn generalizes the Euler gamma function. Our reasoning is based on a new formula for this function that expresses it as a graded product of q-shifted multifactorials.…”

LEGO-Lipophosphonoxin membrane activity is enhanced by presence of phosphatidylethanolamine but hindered by outer membrane by Hana Brzobohatá, Milica Dugić, Viktor Mojr, Nitjawan Sahatsapan, Ivana Kóšiová, Tomáš Křížek, Tereza Dolejšová, Petra Lišková, Lukasz Cwiklik, Dominik Rejman, Radovan Fišer, Gabriela Mikušová

“…LEGO-1–4 permeabilized cytoplasmic membrane of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, LEGO-1 with the longest linker module being the most effective. Gram-positive bacteria were more sensitive to LEGO-LPPO action compared to Gram-negatives, which was manifested as a delayed membrane permeabilization, higher minimal inhibitory concentration and lower amount of LEGO-LPPO bound to the cells. …”
