Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Notably, only the reactivation strength of spatial-matching pings correlated with recall performance and was modulated by the location of memorized items, with neural reactivation occurring only when both items and pings were presented horizontally. …”

Solidarity as a transformative practice by Cipollitti, PE

“…I then consider the numerous challenges solidary individuals face when attempting to relate to each other prefiguratively, as equals, within entrenched structures of domination in Chapter 3. …”

Vision-language modelling for radiological imaging and reports in the low data regime by Windsor, R, Jamaludin, A, Kadir, T, Zisserman, A

“…We conclude with a set of recommendations for researchers aiming to train vision-language models on other medical imaging modalities when training data is scarce. To facilitate further research, we will make our code and models publicly available.…”

“…Some individuals, even when heavily exposed to an infectious tuberculosis patient, do not develop a specific T-cell response as measured by interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). …”

Polarity-driven laminar pattern formation by lateral-inhibition in 2D and 3D bilayer geometries by Moore, JW, Dale, TC, Woolley, TE

“…However, they are insufficient for the maintenance of patterning when subjected to substantial morphological perturbations. …”

Tracking people by learning their appearance by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…Experiments suggest that our system 1) can count distinct individuals, 2) can identify and track them, 3) can recover when it loses track, for example, if individuals are occluded or briefly leave the view, 4) can identify body configuration accurately, and 5) is not dependent on particular models of human motion.…”

Animal social networks are robust to changing association definitions by Chan, AHH, Dunning, J, Beck, KB, Burke, T, Chik, HYJ, Dunleavy, D, Evans, T, Ferreira, A, Fourie, B, Griffith, SC, Hillemann, F, Schroeder, J

“…We urge researchers to carefully evaluate the ecological context of their study systems when making methodological decisions. Specifically, researchers in ecology and evolution should carefully consider the biological relevance of an edge in animal social networks, and the implications of adopting different definitions.…”

Interferon-α promotes HLA-B-restricted presentation of conventional and alternative antigens in human pancreatic β-cells by Carré, A, Samassa, F, Zhou, Z, Perez-Hernandez, J, Lekka, C, Manganaro, A, Oshima, M, Liao, H, Parker, R, Nicastri, A, Brandao, B, Colli, ML, Eizirik, DL, Aluri, J, Patel, D, Göransson, M, Burgos Morales, O, Anderson, A, Landry, L, Kobaisi, F, Scharfmann, R, Marselli, L, Marchetti, P, You, S, Ternette, N

“…Lastly, islets of patients with T1D show preferential HLA-B hyper-expression when compared with non-diabetic donors, and islet-infiltrating CD8+ T cells reactive to HLA-B-restricted granule peptides are found in T1D donors. …”

Homogenization of nonlinear blood flow in periodic networks: the limit of small haematocrit heterogeneity by Ben-Ami, Y, Wood, BD, Pitt-Francis, JM, Maini, PK, Byrne, HM
