Text:
INTRODUCTION
In 2015 the first round of seminars dedicated to the history of neurosciences was held, which was coordinated by the FENS History Committee.
Several European scientific institutes have collaborated on five seminars in different cities (Milan, Oxford, Venice, Paris, London) The first of these meetings was organized by the Carlo Besta Neurological Institute in Milan on April 2015.
AIM
The series of seminars wanted to spread an historical-scientific culture among doctors, researchers and the public, through the promotion of the historical heritage regarding neuroscience (archives, museums, libraries), owned by the various biomedical and European academic institutions, giving particular attention to the involvement of students and young researchers because the past is always an example for the future.
The study of History, in fact, not only allows one to know the roots and the starting point of today's medical practices, but also is an incentive and a challenge to develop new scientific research.
METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS
To evaluate the liking of the seminars a questionnaire has been prepared which was given to all participants, translated into different languages.
The questionnaire consisted of five multiple choice and two open questions that have been used to detect not only the approval and the quality of contents of such an initiative, but also the general public opinion towards a discipline with little space in the academic education of young doctors such as history of neuroscience.
RESULTS
The results of the survey show that the project’s satisfaction was really high, both between doctors and researchers, as amongst students and citizens, and that these initiatives contribute to the Continuing Education in Medicine (CEM).

This document summarizes a collaboration between librarians and researchers at University West in Sweden to analyze scientific literature on tinnitus. The librarians helped three researchers examine the state of research on tinnitus by collecting articles between 1946-2013. Using databases and keywords, they identified over 13,000 articles. Analysis found more disciplines were covering tinnitus over time. The collaboration benefited both researchers, who saved time and gained research insights, and librarians, who improved their skills and involvement in the research process. The librarians' early involvement helped them fully understand the researchers' goals.
The basics of medical science that students must know!Sample Assignment
The scientific principles, methods, and techniques of analysing the disease and finding remedies to diagnose them from the body of living organisms is known as medical science. Experts in Australia say that medical science is a wide area of study. It is also considered as an important area that helps to develop or increase the health rate of the world. While studying medical science, students face lots of challenges to improve their academic grades and subject knowledge. Therefore, they take help from the best assignment help experts in Australia.

16_07-11_PR_Traverse Announces Collaboration with SUNY Upstate_FINALJoseph Scaduto
Traverse Biosciences announced a collaboration with SUNY Upstate Medical University on a $164,689 grant from the Department of Defense to evaluate Traverse's drug candidate TRB-N0224 for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There are currently no approved drugs for ARDS, which affects 190,000 Americans annually with a 40% mortality rate. The research will be led by Gary Nieman of SUNY Upstate and aims to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory effects of TRB-N0224 in reducing lung damage from ARDS.
This document discusses how analyzing the large amounts of data being generated from biomedical research can help discover new drugs and diagnostics. Specifically:
- There are now over 300 billion points of data available from sources like gene expression studies and clinical trials. This amount doubles every few years.
- By analyzing relationships within this large biomedical data, researchers have already identified new uses for existing drugs to treat other diseases.
- One Stanford startup, NuMedii, uses computational analysis of biomedical data to match existing drugs to new disease applications, winning their first contract with a pharmaceutical company.
- Continued mining of both existing and new biomedical data repositories has potential to revolutionize drug development and discovery of new
The document discusses recreational drug usage in society. It defines what drugs are and notes they can come in various forms including substances containing nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol. It defines recreational drugs as those used without medical justification for their psychoactive effects. Recreational drugs are often categorized into four major types: stimulants, depressants, opioids, and hallucinogens. Stimulant drugs elevate mood and increase energy and alertness. The document provides background on different types of recreational drugs and their usage.

Eisai employees Natalie Twine and Sarah Leacu conducted an outreach program with 7th grade students at Dr. An Wang Middle School in Lowell, MA to improve perceptions of the pharmaceutical industry. They gave a presentation on their careers in molecular biology and led a DNA extraction activity. This helped students understand disease and cancer treatment. They later hosted 30 students for a tour of Eisai's Andover facility, where students learned about drug development and different career opportunities from employees. The goal was to establish early positive connections and show students that science is accessible and practiced by diverse people to counter negative perceptions formed from media and society.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
BREEDING METHODS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE.pptxRASHMI M G
Plant breeding for disease resistance is a strategy to reduce crop losses caused by disease. Plants have an innate immune system that allows them to recognize pathogens and provide resistance. However, breeding for long-lasting resistance often involves combining multiple resistance genes

1. Supporting tomorrow’s innovators and scientists
Through our longstanding support of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT),
Purdue Pharma (Canada) continues to encourage innovation, discovery and scientific
exploration.
Most recently, Arlene Ali participated as a community judge in the international Three Minute
Thesis (3MT®) competition which began in Australia and now includes students from UOIT.
In addition, we continue to support the Faculty of Science’s Purdue Pharma (Canada)
Distinguished Lecture Series. In March, the series included a lecture from Dr. Justin Du Bois of
Stanford University. Dr. Du Bois’ research may help scientists uncover ways to develop new
pain medications and potential applications for treating nerve injury.
Arlene was on hand to
talk briefly about Purdue
Pharma (Canada). Also
joining her at the lecture
were our colleagues: Ning
Zheng, Daniel Asres, Sonja
Dhani, Liu Yang, and Blake
Roberts (who is a UOIT
graduate). You can find
more information and a
link to the lecture on
demand on the UOIT web
site.
Our support of the students at UOIT is an example of our belief that we have a responsibility
goes beyond the provision of innovative medicines and includes helping to educate and
encourage those who will lead innovation and research in the future.
