While Multi-Variate Pattern Analysis techniques based on machine learning have now been regularly applied to neuroimaging data, decoding brain activity is usually performed in highly controlled experimental paradigms. In more realistic conditions, the number, sequence and duration of mental states are unpredictably generated by the individual, resulting in complex and imbalanced fMRI data sets. Moreover, in the case of spontaneous brain activity, the mental states can not be linked to any external or internal stimulation, which makes it a highly difficult condition to decode. This study tests the classification of brain activity, acquired on 14 volunteers using fMRI, during mental imagery, a condition in which the number and duration of mental events were not externally imposed but self-generated. Application of the obtained model on rest sessions allowed classifying spontaneous brain activity linked to the task which, overall, correlated with their behavioural performance to the task.

Finite element investigation of size effects on the mechanical behavior of nickel single crystals

The influence of dimensions on the mechanical behavior of f.c.c. single crystals with dimensions larger than a few micrometers has been the topic of many experimental investigations and controversies during the 1970s and this question is still open. The objective of this article is to shed new light on this point by performing finite element simulations thanks to a strain gradient crystal plasticity model. Based on the model identification for nickel, several single crystal samples with various thicknesses and orientations were tested numerically in tension. The effect of dimensions was then analyzed considering the spatial distribution of dislocation densities. Near loading boundaries, dislocation density gradients appeared perpendicular to the Burgers vector direction of the primary activated slip system which modified the mechanical behavior. These gradients are discussed in terms of boundary conditions, crystal orientation and dislocation interactions with surfaces. [less ▲]

First human retrovirus discovered, HTLV-1 infects approximately twenty million individuals worldwide. HTLV-1 is the causative agent of different diseases among which the most important are the adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and a neurodegenerative disorder called HAM/TSP (Human associated myelopathy/ Tropical spastic paraparesis). We are interested in the mechanisms of transformation by the viral Tax oncoprotein. Recently, we showed that Tax interacts with the minichromosome maintenance MCM2-7 helicase and binds to origins of DNA replication (Boxus et al, 2012 Blood 119:151). Thereby, Tax modulates the spatiotemporal program of origin activation during the S phase of cell cycle. In fact, Tax accelerates S phase progression by inducing early firing of late replication origins. Concomitantly, Tax-MCM2-7 interplay also modulates viral transcription. Together, our data demonstrates that interaction between Tax and MCM2-7 is involved in replication reprogramming and viral transcription. [less ▲]
