Toward Forecasting Volcanic Eruptions using Seismic Noise

During inter-eruption periods, magma pressurization yields subtle changes of the elastic properties of volcanic edifices. We use the reproducibility properties of the ambient seismic noise recorded on the Piton de la Fournaise volcano to measure relative seismic velocity variations of less than 0.1 % with a temporal resolution of one day. Our results show that five studied volcanic eruptions were preceded by clearly detectable seismic velocity decreases within the zone of magma injection. These precursors reflect the edifice dilatation induced by magma pressurization and can be useful indicators to improve the forecasting of volcanic eruptions.Comment: Supplementary information: http://www-lgit.obs.ujf-grenoble.fr/~fbrengui/brenguier_SI.pdf Supplementary video: http://www-lgit.obs.ujf-grenoble.fr/~fbrengui/brenguierMovieVolcano.av

Brainhack: a collaborative workshop for the open neuroscience community

International audienceBrainhack events offer a novel workshop format with participant-generated content that caters to the rapidly growing open neuroscience community. Including components from hackathons and unconferences, as well as parallel educational sessions, Brainhack fosters novel collaborations around the interests of its attendees. Here we provide an overview of its structure, past events, and example projects. Additionally, we outline current innovations such as regional events and post-conference publications. Through introducing Brainhack to the wider neuroscience community, we hope to provide a unique conference format that promotes the features of collaborative, open science

Place du PSA dans le dépistage du cancer de la prostate en 2006.

PSA is the best tool for prostate cancer diagnosis. The wide use of PSA with time leads to localized tumour detection with better prognostic factors. The role of PSA for screening is debatable with a doubt on the traditional cut-off of 4 ng/ml. Lowering PSA levels leads to a higher detection rate but also increases the risk of overdiagnosis. Potentially aggressive tumours can not be identified by appropriate PSA cut-off level. Even with low value of PSA < 3 ng/ml, aggressive cancers are diagnosed. The goal is to identify aggressive but still curable diseases with an acceptable accuracy. News strategies for early diagnose are reviewed with the interest of PSA for screening in 2006.English AbstractJournal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
