THE DECADE OF SUPER-RESOLUTION MICROSCOPY OF THE PRESYNAPSE

The Decade of Super-Resolution Microscopy of the Presynapse

The presynaptic compartment of the chemical synapse is a small, yet extremely complex structure.Considering its size, most methods of optical microscopy are not able to resolve its nanoarchitecture and dynamics.Thus, its ultrastructure could only be studied by electron microscopy.In the last decade, new methods of optical superresolution microscopy

When Policy Meets Practice: The Dilemma for Guidance on Risk Assessment Under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety

The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties (COP-MOP) to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity decided years ago to undertake the development of guidance on risk assessment of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology, in order to assist the Parties to the pr

System Optimum Fuzzy Traffic Assignment Problem

This paper focuses on converting the system optimum traffic assignment problem (SO-TAP) to system optimum fuzzy traffic assignment problem (SO-FTAP).The SO-TAP aims to minimize the total system travel time on road network between the specified origin and destination points.Link Dust Mop Handles travel time is taken as a linear function of fuzzy lin

Primary processing neuropils associated with the malleoli of camel spiders (Arachnida, Solifugae): a re-evaluation of axonal pathways

Abstract Background Arachnids possess highly specialized and unorthodox sense organs, such as the unique pectines of Scorpiones and the malleoli of Solifugae.While the external morphology, numbers, and shapes of sensory organs are widely used in taxonomic studies, little is known about the internal anatomy of these organs and their associated Clock
