NIVEL weekcijfers week 14.
Let op: enigszins vertekende cijfers (wellicht iets te laag) door 2e Paasdag.
De 'griepachtige klachten' zijn dalend.

JADES - The small blue bump in GN-z11: insights into the nuclear region of a galaxy at z=10.6
We report the detection of continuum excess in the rest-frame UV between 3000 Å and 3550 Å in the JWST/NIRSpec spectrum of GN-z11, a galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z = 10.603. The shape of the continuum excess resembles a Balmer continuum but has a break around 3546 Å in the rest frame, which is 100 Å bluewards to the Balmer limit at 3646 Å. A Balmer continuum model alone cannot fit the spectrum, implying a different origin for the continuum excess. The absence of the B…

High-fidelity reproduction of visual signals by electrical stimulation in the central primate retina #NeuroTech

High-Fidelity Reproduction of Visual Signals by Electrical Stimulation in the Central Primate Retina
Electrical stimulation of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) with electronic implants provides rudimentary artificial vision to people blinded by retinal degeneration. However, current devices stimulate indiscriminately and therefore cannot reproduce the intricate neural code of the retina. Recent work has demonstrated more precise activation of RGCs using focal electrical stimulation with multielectrode arrays in the peripheral macaque retina, but it is unclear how effective this can be in the cent…

NIVEL weekrapport week 9.
Opnieuw minder griepachtige klachten.
Toch beschouwen RIVM en NIVEL de griepepidemie nog niet als voorbij. Dat moet dan door het percentage aangetroffen influenzavirussen komen, want de aantallen zijn al twee weken ruim onder de epidemische grens *en* dalend.

An integrated heart-torso electromechanical model for the simulation of electrophysiogical outputs accounting for myocardial deformation
When generating in-silico clinical electrophysiological outputs, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) and body surface potential maps (BSPMs), mathematical models have relied on single physics, i.e. of the cardiac electrophysiology (EP), neglecting the role of the heart motion. Since the heart is the most powerful source of electrical activity in the human body, its motion dynamically shifts the position of the principal electrical sources in the torso, influencing electrical potential distributio…

#Covid #Influenza
Ongoing pandemic, update:
The burden of disease by Covid is much higher than the burden by influenza, as evident by UKHSA/NHS SARI Watch data.
Note the scale on the ICU/HDU figures.
