    Bayesian inference of kinetic schemes for ion channels by Kalman filtering

    Jan L Münch, Fabian Paul ... Klaus Benndorf
    For analyzing time-dependent patch-clamp or patch-clamp fluorometry data of ion channels in terms of Markovian models, the superiority of Bayesian filtering with respect to traditional deterministic approaches is demonstrated enabling more reliable quantification of the parameters.

    The geometry of robustness in spiking neural networks

    Nuno Calaim, Florian A Dehmelt ... Christian K Machens
    Spiking neural networks become robust to various perturbations of their parameters if their voltages are confined to a lower-dimensional subspace, and both dynamics and robustness can be visualised in this voltage subspace.

    A biophysical threshold for biofilm formation

    Jenna A Moore-Ott, Selena Chiu ... Sujit S Datta
    A biophysical model of the process by which bacteria transition from the motile planktonic state to the immobilized biofilm state yields testable predictions in terms of two dimensionless parameters, one describing nutrient availability and the other describing cellular dispersal.

    Meta-Research: How parenthood contributes to gender gaps in academia

    Xiang Zheng, Haimiao Yuan, Chaoqun Ni
    Gender gaps in academic achievement are in fact "parenthood gender gaps", with mothers experiencing higher levels of work-family conflict, and receiving lower levels of partner support, than fathers.

    Inferring characteristics of bacterial swimming in biofilm matrix from time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy

    Guillaume Ravel, Michel Bergmann ... Simon Labarthe
    A new mathematical method has been developed, implemented and validated for the analysis of time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy images to characterize the swimming behavior of bacterial swimmers moving in the exogenous matrix of pathogenic biofilms.
