Combined sewer overflow mitigation through SUDS - A review on modelling practices, scenario elaboration, and related performances.

Hydrologic-hydraulic modelling of urban catchment is an asset for land managers to simulate Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) implementation to fulfil combined sewer overflow (CSO) regulations. This review aims to assess the current practices in modelling SUDS scenarios at large scale for CSO mitigation encompassing every stage of the modelling process from the choice of the equation to the validation of the initial state of the urban system, right through to the elaboration, modelling, and selection of SUDS scenarios to evaluate their performance on CSO. Through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 50 published studies, we found a diversity of choices when modelling the status quo of the urban system.

CA3 hippocampal synaptic plasticity supports ripple physiology during memory consolidation.

The consolidation of recent memories depends on memory replays, also called ripples, generated within the hippocampus during slow-wave sleep, and whose inactivation leads to memory impairment. For now, the mobilisation, localisation and importance of synaptic plasticity events associated to ripples are largely unknown. To tackle this question, we used cell surface AMPAR immobilisation to block post-synaptic LTP within the hippocampal region of male mice during a spatial memory task, and show that: 1- hippocampal synaptic plasticity is engaged during consolidation, but is dispensable during encoding or retrieval.

Dermatologist versus artificial intelligence confidence in dermoscopy diagnosis: Complementary information that may affect decision-making.

In dermatology, deep learning may be applied for skin lesion classification. However, for a given input image, a neural network only outputs a label, obtained using the class probabilities, which do not model uncertainty. Our group developed a novel method to quantify uncertainty in stochastic neural networks.

Genetically-encoded BRET probes shed light on ligand bias-induced variable ion selectivity in TRPV1 and P2X5/7.

Whether ion channels experience ligand-dependent dynamic ion selectivity remains of critical importance since this could support ion channel functional bias. Tracking selective ion permeability through ion channels, however, remains challenging even with patch-clamp electrophysiology. In this study, we have developed highly sensitive bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) probes providing dynamic measurements of Ca and K concentrations and ionic strength in the nanoenvironment of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-1 Channel (TRPV1) and P2X channel pores in real time and in live cells during drug challenges.
