We report on the case of a girl with type 1 Gaucher’s disease, treated from age 9 to 15 with highdose enzyme replacement therapy. This treatment did not avert the development of an extensive mutilating hepatic fibrosis warranting a liver transplantation, which was followed by death. In some cases of Gaucher’s disease, alternative strategies such as fractionated or further increased ERT, gene th...

XX IS SIFT SCALE INVARIANT ? Jean - Michel Morel

This note is devoted to a mathematical exploration of whether Lowe’s Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) [21], a very successful image matching method, is similarity invariant as claimed. It is proved that the method is scale invariant only if the initial image blurs is exactly guessed. Yet, even a large error on the initial blur is quickly attenuated by this multiscale method, when the sc...

We study differential-geometrical structure of an information manifold equipped with a divergence function.A divergence function generates a Riemannian metric and furthermore it provides a symmetric third-order tensor,when the divergence is asymmetric. This induces a pair of affine connections dually coupled to each other withrespect to the Riemannian metric. This is the arising eme...

Michel Labouesse

Michel Labouesse grew up near Paris. He studied maths and physics for a degree in engineering, but subsequently embraced a career in biology. He learned genetics during his PhD with Piotr Slonimski in Gif/Yvette, where he analysed how the nuclear genome controls expression of mitochondrial genes in yeast. He then went on to learn developmental biology of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a...
