A NOVEL CHRONIC NERVE COMPRESSION MODEL IN THE RAT

A novel chronic nerve compression model in the rat

Current animal models of chronic peripheral nerve compression are mainly silicone tube models.However, the cross section of the rat sciatic nerve is not a perfect circle, and there are differences in the diameter of the sciatic nerve due to individual differences.The use of a silicone tube with a uniform internal diameter may not provide a reliable

A note on precision-preserving compression of scientific data

Lossy compression of scientific data arrays is a powerful tool to save network bandwidth and storage space.Properly applied lossy compression can reduce the size of a dataset by orders of magnitude while keeping all essential information, whereas a wrong choice of lossy compression parameters leads to the loss of valuable data.An important class of
