Excitatory synapse
other
An excitatory synapse is a synapse in which an action potential in a presynaptic neuron increases the probability of an action potential occurring in a postsynaptic cell.
other
Neurons form networks through which nerve impulses travel, each neuron often making numerous connections with other cells.
other
These electrical signals may be excitatory or inhibitory, and, if the total of excitatory influences exceeds that of the inhibitory influences, the neuron will generate a new action potential at its axon hillock, thus transmitting the information to yet another cell.
other
This phenomenon is known as an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).
other
It may occur via direct contact between cells (i.e., via gap junctions), as in an electrical synapse, but most commonly occurs via the vesicular release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, as in a chemical synapse.
other
The excitatory neurotransmitters, the most common of which is glutamate, then migrate via diffusion to the dendritic spine of the postsynaptic neuron and bind a specific transmembrane receptor protein that triggers the depolarization of that cell.
other
Depolarization, a deviation from a neuron’s resting membrane potential towards its threshold potential, increases the likelihood of an action potential and normally occurs with the influx of positively charged sodium (Na) ions into the postsynaptic cell through ion channels activated by neurotransmitter binding.

Barbara Hepworth Museum
other
The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden in St Ives, Cornwall preserves the 20th-century sculptor Barbara Hepworth's studio and garden much as they were when she lived and worked there.
other
She purchased the site in 1949 and lived and worked there for 26 years until her death in a fire on the premises in 1975.
other
The studio, known as Trewyn Studio, was purchased by Barbara Hepworth in 1949, and is typical of the stone-built houses in St Ives.
other
Her living room is furnished as she left it, while the workshop remains full of her tools and equipment, materials, and part-worked pieces.
other
The museum was opened by her family in 1976, after Barbara had left instructions to this effect in her will.
other
It is the largest collection of her works that are on permanent display.
other
The sculptures featured at the museum (mainly in the secluded garden) were some of her favourites.
other
Her workshop also includes a queue of uncut stones that one visitor has described as "still waiting for their moment in the shadow of her workshop".
other
In 1950 she acquired two huge blocks of Galway limestone which she carved into her Festival of Britain commission, the Contrapuntal Forms.
other
A set of photographs in the museum shows the progress of this project.
other
Wood carving was done in an upstairs room, and the bronze statues she started casting in 1956 had their origins in the plaster prototypes she worked on in the upper of the two outside studios.
other
She was helped in the creation of the garden by her friend, the South African-born composer Priaulx Rainier.
other
Barbara Hepworth died in a fire at this site in 1975, which was caused by one of her cigarettes making some package burn, when she was aged 72.
other
The family passed the museum to the Tate gallery in 1980 and they still manage it.

Torus-based cryptography
other
Torus-based cryptography involves using algebraic tori to construct a group for use in ciphers based on the discrete logarithm problem.
other
This idea was first introduced by Alice Silverberg and Karl Rubin in 2003 in the form of a public key algorithm by the name of CEILIDH.
other
It improves on conventional cryptosystems by representing some elements of large finite fields compactly and therefore transmitting fewer bits.
