Before getting into the question of core architecture and genetic instability, I'd like to take a few moments to look back at the end of last week's lecture, which I rushed through for lack of time. Let me remind you (DIA IV.2) that in Drosophila, aging …

Seismic tomography, converted waves ('receiver' functions), different types of anisotropy, how they are measured, and their relationship with rheology. Seismic definition of LAB. We first introduced the notion of "birefringence" of shear volume waves in …

Pergamon under the rule of the Roman Republic. …

Our ability to identify different sound sources-to distinguish predators from prey, for example-rests upon the ear's ability to decompose complex sounds into their frequency components. Although the cochlear traveling wave initiates this process, …

Abstract Works of art acquire meaning precisely because they offer an experience that takes us outside, beyond the perimeter of our concrete, known and describable existences, where signs have not yet been turned into symbols and where there is no …

Helga Nowotny is Professor emerita of Social Studies of Science, ETH Zurich, and a founding member of the European Research Council. In 2007 she was elected ERC Vice President and in March 2010 succeeded Fotis Kafatos as President of the ERC. She holds a …

We're going to start this lecture by returning to some of the aspects already mentioned, through the question of the regulatory role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in DNA repair. I will do so with greater emphasis on NHEJ, since neuronal longevity is …

Role of the low viscosity zone in plate tectonics. Formation of the continental lithosphere/cratons We introduced the main seismological tools for studying the lithosphere and asthenosphere, and recalled the properties of surface waves, in particular …
