Global Neural Activities Changes under Human Inhibitory Control Using Translational Scenario by Rupesh Kumar Chikara, Li-Wei Ko

“…In the battlefield scenario, the signs of fixation, go and stop were replaced by images of a sniper scope, a target and a non-target. The battlefield scenario is a shooting game between the enemy and the soldiers. …”

Accelerating genomic workflows using NVIDIA Parabricks by Kyle A. O’Connell, Zelaikha B. Yosufzai, Ross A. Campbell, Collin J. Lobb, Haley T. Engelken, Laura M. Gorrell, Thad B. Carlson, Josh J. Catana, Dina Mikdadi, Vivien R. Bonazzi, Juergen A. Klenk

“…We benchmarked six variant calling pipelines, including two germline callers (HaplotypeCaller and DeepVariant) and four somatic callers (Mutect2, Muse, LoFreq, SomaticSniper). Results We achieved up to 65 × acceleration with germline variant callers, bringing HaplotypeCaller runtimes down from 36 h to 33 min on AWS, 35 min on GCP, and 24 min on the NVIDIA DGX. …”

Prediction of Human Inhibition Brain Function with Inter-Subject and Intra-Subject Variability by Rupesh Kumar Chikara, Li-Wei Ko

“…In present study, we used a battleground scenario where a sniper-scope picture was the background, a target picture was a go signal, and a nontarget picture was a stop signal. …”

Overpressure Exposure From .50-Caliber Rifle Training Is Associated With Increased Amyloid Beta Peptides in Serum by Bharani Thangavelu, Christina R. LaValle, Michael J. Egnoto, Jeffrey Nemes, Angela M. Boutté, Gary H. Kamimori

“…This pilot study evaluated the amplitude of traumatic brain injury (TBI)–associated biomarkers in serum as a consequence of repeated OP exposure from .50-caliber rifle use over training multiple days.Objective: To determine the acute temporal profile of TBI-associated serum biomarkers and their relationship with neurocognitive decrements or self-reported symptoms among participants exposed to low-level, repeated OP from weapons used in a training environment.Methods: Study participants were enrolled in .50-caliber sniper rifle training and exposed to mild OP (peak pressure 3.8–4.5 psi, impulse 19.27–42.22 psi-ms per day) for three consecutive days (D1–D3). …”

Freinet en España (1926-1939) - Freinet in Spain (1926-1939) by José Luis Hernández Huerta, José María Hernández Díaz, España

“…Thus, the incipient freinet’s spanish movement was taking shape and, in a little time, this had a battalion of sniper teachers, who wanted to apply those ideas, a solid organization and a promising future truncated by the beginning of the civil war. …”
