Multi-Modal Data Correspondence for the 4D Analysis of the Spine with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that evolves during adolescence. Combined with static 3D X-ray acquisitions, novel approaches using motion capture allow for the analysis of the patient dynamics. However, as of today, they cannot provide an internal analysis of the spine in motion.

Seaview Version 5: A Multiplatform Software for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses, and Tree Reconciliation.

We present Seaview version 5, a multiplatform program to perform multiple alignment and phylogenetic tree building from molecular sequence data. Seaview provides network access to sequence databases, alignment with arbitrary algorithm, parsimony, distance and maximum likelihood tree building with PhyML, and display, printing, and copy-to-clipboard or to SVG files of rooted or unrooted, binary or multifurcating phylogenetic trees. While Seaview is primarily a program providing a graphical user interface to guide the user into performing desired analyses, Seaview possesses also a command-line mode adequate for user-provided scripts.

Treerecs: an integrated phylogenetic tool, from sequences to reconciliations.

Motivation: Gene and species tree reconciliation methods are used to interpret gene trees, root them and correct uncertainties that are due to scarcity of signal in multiple sequence alignments. So far, reconciliation tools have not been integrated in standard phylogenetic software and they either lack performance on certain functions, or usability for biologists.

Results: We present Treerecs, a phylogenetic software based on duplication-loss reconciliation.

RecPhyloXML: a format for reconciled gene trees.

Motivation: A reconciliation is an annotation of the nodes of a gene tree with evolutionary events-for example, speciation, gene duplication, transfer, loss, etc.-along with a mapping onto a species tree. Many algorithms and software produce or use reconciliations but often using different reconciliation formats, regarding the type of events considered or whether the species tree is dated or not.

CALCULATION OF SKIN DOSE DUE TO BETA CONTAMINATION USING THE NEW QUANTITY OF THE ICRP 116: THE 'LOCAL SKIN DOSE'.

Values of the new protection quantity 'Local Skin Dose' LSD, introduced by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 116, were calculated for 134 β- or β+ emitting radionuclides, using the Monte Carlo code MCNP6. Two types of source geometry are considered: a point source and disc-type surface contamination (the source is placed in contact with the skin). This new protection quantity is compared with the operational quantity H'(0.
