Indikator yang dikodekan secara genetik (GEI) telah muncul sebagai alat transformatif untuk perekaman aktivitas populasi neuron yang spesifik terhadap jenis sel dan bersifat kronis. Sejak kemunculan indikator Ca2+ prototipe pertama (Cameleons) pada tahun 1997, bidang ini telah mengalami evolusi yang luar biasa. Kemajuan ini ditandai dengan lompatan signifikan dalam kinerja indikator serta pener…
What do climate models predict for the rainfall where you live? What about evaporation or runoff? Should your local community consider constructing new dams or do the existing water storages appear adequate? What about the availability of water for irrigation farming? Do the predictions differ between different climate models or do all the models basically predict the same changes in water avai…
