Long–Term Impairment of Retinal Ganglion Cell Function After Oxygen–Induced Retinopathy by Adam M. Schmitz, Stephanie M. Bumbaru, Laith S. Fakhouri, Dao-Qi Zhang

“…However, immunohistochemistry reveals that the density of retinal ganglion cells remains unchanged in post–OIR mice, indicating that the aforementioned pattern electroretinogram changes are functional. Our data further demonstrate that both light–adapted ex vivo electroretinogram a–waves (cone responses) and in vivo electroretinogram b–waves (ON cone bipolar cell responses) were significantly impaired in post–OIR mice. …”

Functional divergence caused by ancient positive selection of a Drosophila hybrid incompatibility locus. by Daniel A Barbash, Philip Awadalla, Aaron M Tarone

“…Experimentally tractable models are required to identify and test candidate hybrid incompatibility genes. Several Drosophila melanogaster genes involved in hybrid incompatibility have been identified but none has yet been shown to have functionally diverged in accordance with the Dobzhansky-Muller model. …”

Land drainage functioning and hydrological impacts in rural catchments: model development and field experiments by Zimmer, Daniel, Tournebize, Julien, Bouarfa, Sami, Kao, Cyril, Lesaffre, Benoît

“…We also demonstrate that these drain flow rates are a function of the level of water replenishment in the system (classically the water table elevation), of the recharge intensity of the aquifer and of a buffer function related to the swelling or deflation of the water table shape during recharge events. …”

Graded transcendental functions: an application to four-point amplitudes with one off-shell leg by Thomas Gehrmann, Johannes Henn, Petr Jakubčík, Jungwon Lim, Cesare Carlo Mella, Nikolaos Syrrakos, Lorenzo Tancredi, William J. Torres Bobadilla

“…We describe the derivation of canonical differential equation systems and present a method for fixing boundary conditions without the need for a full functional representation. Using multiple numerical reductions, we test the maximal transcendentality conjecture for Hggg and identify a new letter which appears in functions of weight 4 and 5. …”
