Comparison of WarpX and GUINEA-PIG for electron positron collisions [PDF]
As part of the Snowmass'21 planning exercise, the Advanced Accelerator Concepts community proposed developing multi-TeV linear colliders and considered beam-beam effects for these machines. Such colliders operate under a high disruption regime with an enormous number of electron-positron pairs produced from QED effects.

Extracting synaptic conductances from single membrane potential traces [PDF]
In awake animals, the activity of the cerebral cortex is highly complex, with neurons firing irregularly with apparent Poisson statistics. One way to characterize this complexity is to take advantage of the high interconnectivity of cerebral cortex and use intracellular recordings of cortical neurons, which contain information about the activity of ...

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most devastating and incurable brain tumor. To better study this disease, a 3D model is developed using a hyaluronic acid‐based hydrogel combined with a multicellular approach. This model recapitulates in vivo brain stiffness, cell‐extracellular matrix and cell‐cell interactions and the tumor's hijacking function with the

Descriptive epidemiology of dermatophytosis in rodents
Rodents are among hosts of dermatophyte that can transfer the disease to human and other animals. A total of 163 rodents including rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters suspecting having dermatophytosis were sampled by scraping skin lesions. Direct microscopic examination, culture, and polymerase chain reaction were done to evaluate dermatophytosis and ...

Correction of beam-beam effects in luminosity measurement in the forward region at CLIC [PDF]
Procedures for correcting the beam-beam effects in luminosity measurements at CLIC at 3 TeV center-of-mass energy are described and tested using Monte Carlo simulations. The angular counting loss due to the combined Beamstrahlung and initial-state radiation effects is corrected based on the reconstructed velocity of the collision frame of the Bhabha ...

Guinea pigs sublethally infected with aerosolized Legionella pneumophila develop humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and are protected against lethal aerosol challenge. A model for studying host defense against lung infections caused by intracellular pathogens. [PDF]
We have employed the guinea pig model of L. pneumophila infection, which mimics Legionnaires' disease in humans both clinically and pathologically, to study humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to L.

In this short paper we examine, with lightness and from a semiotic point of view, the different meanings that can be attributed to the guinea pig.

Bee Better: The Role of Honey in Modern Wound Care
The use of honey as a wound care agent is controversial but paradoxically increasingly popular. Honey possesses relevant antimicrobial properties and can modulate the immune system. The wound healing properties of honey likely depend on its composition and varies across wound types.

Models of the cardiac L‐type calcium current: A quantitative review
We discuss 73 published models of mammalian ICaL and find differences in gating kinetics, electrochemical driving force, and sensitivity to internal calcium concentrations, leading to considerable variability in their predictions. Abstract The L‐type calcium current (ICaL) plays a critical role in cardiac electrophysiology, and models of ICaL are vital

A translation of Maurice Philippson's "Principles of the Electrical Resistance of Living Tissue" [PDF]
The impedance of one cubic centimeter of living tissues of potato and guinea pig were measured from 500 Hz to 3 MHz. In general, the magnitude of the impedance was found to monotonically decrease with increasing frequency. This implies that the membrane of each cell in the tissue acts like a capacitor, which is in parallel with a membrane resistance ...
