The bacterial flagellum is essential for motility, adhesion and colonization in pathogens such as Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter jejuni. Its extracellular structure comprises the hook, hook–filament junction, filament and filament cap. [...]

A model for NMDA-receptor-mediated synaptic currents in leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, first proposed by Wang (J Neurosci, 1999), has been widely studied in computational neuroscience. The model features a fast rise in the NMDA conductance upon spikes in a pre-synaptic neuron followed by a slow decay. [...]

Carbonyl sulfide (OCS) is a major precursor of stratospheric sulfate aerosols and a proxy for terrestrial photosynthesis. In recent years, sulfur-isotope measurements (δ34S) of OCS emerged as an approach to constrain the OCS budget. [...]

Software development and data curation or analysis share many of their issues: keeping track of the evolution of files – ideally with information on how, why, when, and by whom – , organizing collaboration with multiple people, keeping track of known issues and other TODOs, discussing changes, making versions available to others, automating tasks, and more. Often you will even have to write code as part of a data project, blurring the line between the two even more. [...]
