The effect of the environment on the structure, morphology and star formation history of intermediate-redshift galaxies

Pascale Jablonka

With the aim of understanding the effect of the environment on the star formation history and morphological transformation of galaxies, we present a detailed analysis of the colour, morphology and internal structure of cluster and field galaxies at 0.4

In the pursuit of the fear engram: identification of neuronal circuits underlying the treatment of anxiety disorder

Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Fear and other anxiety disorders are extraordinarily robust and difficult to treat. Among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders are exposure-based therapies, during which a patient is repeatedly confronted with the originally fear-eliciting s ...

Impact of neutral density fluctuations on gas puff imaging diagnostics

Paolo Ricci, Christoph Wersal

A three-dimensional turbulence simulation of the SOL and edge regions of a toroidally limited tokamak is carried out. The simulation couples self-consistently the drift-reduced two-fluid Braginskii equations to a kinetic equation for neutral atoms. A diagn ...

The consequences of not accounting for background selection in demographic inference

Jeffrey David Jensen, Gregory Bruce Ewing

Recently, there has been increased awareness of the role of background selection (BGS) in both data analysis and modelling advances. However, BGS is still difficult to take into account because of tractability issues with simulations and difficulty with no ...

An Approximate Markov Model for the Wright-Fisher Diffusion and Its Application to Time Series Data

Jeffrey David Jensen, Anna Ferrer Admetlla

The joint and accurate inference of selection and demography from genetic data is considered a particularly challenging question in population genetics, since both process may lead to very similar patterns of genetic diversity. However, additional informat ...

Coalescent inferences in conservation genetics: should the exception become the rule?

Valeria Montano

Genetic estimates of effective population size (Ne) are an established means to develop informed conservation policies. Another key goal to pursue the conservation of endangered species is keeping the connectivity across fragmented environments, to which g ...

The Impact of Linked Selection in Chimpanzees: A Comparative Study

Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer

Levels of nucleotide diversity vary greatly across the genomes of most species owing to multiple factors. These include variation in the underlying mutation rates, as well as the effects of both direct and linked selection. Fundamental to interpreting the ...

An experimental evaluation of drug-induced mutational meltdown as an antiviral treatment strategy

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Matthieu Foll, Sebastian Matuszewski, Hyunjin Shim

The rapid evolution of drug resistance remains a critical public health concern. The treatment of influenza A virus (IAV) has proven particularly challenging, due to the ability of the virus to develop resistance against current antivirals and vaccines. He ...
