A (not so) brief history of lunar distances: Lunar longitude determination at sea before the chronometer [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Probing the Dark Ages with Metal Absorption Lines [PDF]

open access: yesMon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 336 (2002) 1021, 2002
Recent observations of high redshift quasars at z~6 have finally revealed complete Gunn-Peterson absorption. However, this at best constrains the volume-weighted and mass-weighted hydrogen neutral fractions to be greater than 10^-3 and 10^-2 respectively; stronger constraints are not possible due to the high optical depth for hydrogen Lyman transitions.

Insights into Age-Related Functional Brain Changes during Audiovisual Integration Tasks: A Comprehensive EEG Source-Based Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The seamless integration of visual and auditory information is a fundamental aspect of human cognition. Although age-related functional changes in Audio-Visual Integration (AVI) have been extensively explored in the past, thorough studies across various age groups remain insufficient. Previous studies have provided valuable insights into agerelated AVI
