Rare events and their impact on velocity diffusion in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model (2008)
Journal Article

A simplified version of the stochastic Fermi-Ulam model is investigated in order to elucidate the effect of a class of rare low-velocity events on the velocity diffusion process and consequently Fermi acceleration. The relative fraction of these even... Read More about Rare events and their impact on velocity diffusion in a stochastic Fermi-Ulam model.

Introduction: Special issue on knowledge and use of the lexicon in French as a second language (2008)

Expression of pro- and anti-angiogenic isoforms of VEGF is differentially regulated by splicing and growth factors (2008)
Journal Article

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA; hereafter referred to as VEGF) is a key regulator of physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Two families of VEGF isoforms are generated by alternate splice-site selection in the terminal exon. Proxim...
