    Abstract Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is the most common pediatric epilepsy affecting 10-18% of all children with epilepsy. It is genetic in origin and the result of dysfunction within the corticothalamocortical (CTC) circuitry. Network dysfunction may arise from multifactorial mechanisms in patients from different genetic backgrounds and thus account for the variability in patient response to currently available anti-epileptic drugs; 30% of children with absence seizures are pharmaco-resistant. This review considers the impact of deficits in AMPA receptor-mediated excitation of feed-forward inhibition (FFI) in the CTC, on absence seizure generation. AMPA receptors are glutamate activated ion channels and are responsible for most of the fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the CNS. In the stargazer mouse model of absence epilepsy, the genetic mutation is in stargazin, a transmembrane AMPA receptor trafficking protein (TARP). This leads to a defect in AMPA receptor insertion into synapses in parvalbumin-containing (PV+) inhibitory interneurons in the somatosensory cortex and thalamus. Mutation in the

    Abstract The vascular flora of Britain and Ireland is a historically well-documented and clearly delimited study system that offers itself to large-scale analyses of ecology and species assemblages. However, such analyses require clean, curated, and taxonomically resolved data, which are often unavailable. In this chapter, we describe how to access and use a key data resource that combines a taxonomically stable species list with genetic data (genome size, chromosome counts, and DNA barcode information), ecological information (such as life-form, realized niche description, and geographic origin) and distribution records. The data resource enables and encourages the study of natural ecological and evolutionary patterns and processes within the vascular flora of Britain and Ireland.

    Abstract We investigate the thermodynamics of a hybrid quantum device consisting of two qubits collectively interacting with a quantum rotor and coupled dissipatively to two equilibrium reservoirs at different temperatures. By modeling the dynamics and the resulting steady state of the system using a collision model, we identify the functioning of the device as a thermal engine, a refrigerator, or an accelerator. In addition, we also look into the device's capacity to operate as a heat rectifier and optimize both the rectification coefficient and the heat flow simultaneously. Drawing an analogy to heat rectification and since we are interested in the conversion of energy into the rotor's kinetic energy, we introduce the concept of angular momentum rectification, which may be employed to control work extraction through an external load.

    Abstract Angiosperm genome sizes (GS) range ~2400-fold and comprise genes and their regulatory regions, repeats, semi-degraded repeats, and 'dark matter'. The latter represents repeats so degraded that they can no longer be recognised as repetitive. In exploring whether the histone modifications associated with chromatin packaging of these contrasting genomic components are conserved across the diversity of GS in angiosperms, we compared immunocytochemistry data for two species whose GS differ ~286-fold. We compared published data for
