FFF and GPC/SEC are both well-established techniques for the characterization of macromolecules. The two techniques partially overlap in their application areas and technique capabilities. One strong advantage of the FFF technique is its ability to separate and give valuable information on more complex samples such as colloids and nanoparticle suspensions. Now, these methods can be fully exploited in a single platform from Postnova.
Due to the growing interest in Israel in investigating and separating extra-cellular vesicles, we bring you this seminar which will introduce the FFF and SEC/GPC platforms, as powerful tools for various fields of research. The seminar will include examples from a wide range of applications, with a special focus on biological research. We will also present the advantages of the different detection capabilities including: UV, RI, MALS, Viscometry, DLS and ICP-MS

I discuss phenomenological consequences in collider physics of the Higgs boson arising from enhanced down, up, strange, and charm Yukawa couplings. I highlight a possible induced modification of the charge asymmetry in $W^+ h$ vs.~$W^- h$ production as a result of large, enhanced Yukawa couplings. This motivates a collider study of the same-sign lepton final state, $p p o W^pm h o ell^pm
u ell^pm
u jj$, which can serve as a Standard Model discovery scenario for the $W^pm h$ production mode with 100 fb$^{-1}$ luminosity. We find the prospects of this final state as a probe of nonstandard Yukawa couplings, however, are diminished unless the Higgs couplings to vector bosons are increased beyond the SM expectation or the extra increase in the Higgs width from the enhanced Yukawas is simultaneously mitigated. I also briefly discuss the concomitant effects of new $s$-channel Higgs production from enhanced light quark Yukawa couplings.

As signals progress along the early visual system, they undergo a remarkable transformation. One synapse away from the eye, in Lateral Geniculate Nucleus, responses are still highly repeatable, and they can be predicted fairly well by simple model of image processing. One further synapse away, in Primary Visual Cortex (V1), responses become hugely affected by activity that originates within the brain, which varies from trial to trial, and can be closely related to behavior. For instance, a major factor that controls responses of neurons in the mouse visual cortex is locomotion. In mouse V1, locomotion changes the nature of spatial integration, reducing the strength of lateral interactions. Moreover, locomotion interacts with vision to affect responses during navigation, perhaps to help the animal estimate is own movement. In the parietal visual areas that follow V1 a further factor affecting responses is decision. The activity of neurons in those areas thus reflects the interactions of vision, decision, and navigation. Current efforts in our laboratory are aimed at studying these interactions.

I will review some recent results about the molecular content of galaxies across the Hubble time. Molecular gas is essential to determine the star formation efficiency in galaxies, and understand their evolution. Large progress has been made on galaxy at moderate and high redshifts, allowing to interprete the star formation history of the universe: in massive galaxies, the gas fraction was ~5 times higher in the past, and galaxy disks were more unstable and more turbulent. Molecular outflows are now frequently discovered in AGN-hosts, able to quench star formation. AGN feedback is required to reproduce the observed galaxy mass function.
ALMA observations will allow the study of main sequence galaxies at high z with higher spatial resolution and sensitivity.
