Each battalion of Jäger, Fallschirmjäger and Gebirgsjäger has a " heavy company " of Wiesel weapon-carriers equipped with 20 mm cannon, TOW launchers or 120 mm mortars.

Three companies are consisting of classical mountain infantry, another one is a heavy company which is equipped with the Wiesel AWC for mortar support, tank defence and supporting cannon fire with 20 mm guns.

This trend has had limited uptake in Western forces with only Germany equipping their airmobile division with the similar Wiesel tankette two of which can be carried inside a Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter.

During the visit Elie Wiesel, who together with Bertrand Herz was send to Little camp as 16-year old boys, said, " if these trees could talk.

Roger Wolcott Sperry ( August 20, 1913 – April 17, 1994 ) was a neuropsychologist, neurobiologist and Nobel laureate who, together with David Hunter Hubel and Torsten Nils Wiesel, won the 1981 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work with split-brain research.

However, perhaps his greatest prize was his achievement in attaining the Nobel Prize in cooperation with David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel for Physiology or Medicine.

* Transcript of interview with Elie Wiesel

In September of the same year, he spoke to the UN Security Council with Nobel Prize-winner Elie Wiesel to ask the UN to find a solution to the conflict and to help the people of Darfur.

The 1990s saw the renaissance of a similar concept with the Wiesel of the German Bundeswehr being introduced to provide airborne troops with armoured reconnaissance capability, a function that had already been trialled with Soviet T-27 in World War II.

Current collaborations include flautist Abbie de Quant ( since 1970 ), Duo 4 with pianist Meir Wiesel, the Tamar Piano Trio and ensembles with vocalists such as Bat-Sheva Zeisler and Shimrit Carmi.

Suchar stated he opposed tenure because Finkelstein's " personal and reputation demeaning attacks on Alan Dershowitz, Benny Morris, and the holocaust authors Eli Wiesel and Jerzy Kosinski " were inconsistent with DePaul's " Vincentian " values.

It sold 1, 046 copies over the next 18 months, at $ 3 a copy, but it attracted interest from reviewers, leading to television interviews with Wiesel and meetings with literary figures like Saul Bellow.

It was republished with a new translation by Wiesel's wife, Marion, and a new preface by Wiesel, and by February 13 that year, it was no.

Wiesel wrote in the 1956 Yiddish version: " We believed in God, had faith in man, and lived with the illusion that in each one of us is a sacred spark from the fire of the shekinah, that each one carried in his eyes and in his soul the sign of God.

Naomi Seidman, professor of Jewish culture at the Graduate Theological Union, wrote a comparative analysis of the Yiddish and French texts for a 1996 article in Jewish Social Studies, concluding that Night transforms the Holocaust into a religious event, the abdication of God, with the witness both priest and prophet ; Wiesel himself said that Auschwitz was as important as Mount Sinai.

She told The Jewish Daily Forward that, in re-writing rather than simply translating Un di Velt Hot Geshvign, Wiesel had replaced an angry survivor who regards " testimony as a refutation of what the Nazis did to the Jews ," with one " haunted by death, whose primary complaint is directed against God, not the world, the Nazis.

For example, in the Yiddish, Wiesel writes that, after liberation, some of the male camp survivors run off to " fargvaldikn daytshe shikses " (" rape German shiksas "), whereas in the French, they " coucher avec les filles " (" sleep with girls ").

Wiesel implied that it was after his May 1955 meeting with Mauriac that he began to write.

" But Naomi Seidman notes — as does Wiesel in All Rivers Run to the Sea — that Mark Turkov, Wiesel's publisher in Argentina, was given the Yiddish manuscript in 1954, one year before Wiesel's meeting with Mauriac.

According to Finkelstein, Elie Wiesel characterizes any suggestion that he has profited from the " Holocaust Industry ", or even any criticism at all, as Holocaust denial.

The book received recommendations from Elie Wiesel who wrote in The New York Times Book Review that it was " one of the best ...

It is an emotional presentation inviting meditation on the thought of Elie Wiesel: " Peace is not a gift from God to man, but a gift from man to himself ".

Second row, seventh from left is Elie Wiesel.

Hubel & Wiesel discovered that neurons in the primary visual cortex, the first cortical area to process information coming from the retina, have oriented receptive fields and are organized in columns.

Although Turkov said he would return the manuscript, Wiesel writes that he did not see it again, but later in Rivers, he explains that he " cut down the original manuscript from 862 pages to the 245 of the published Yiddish edition.

The latter lasted until 1944 and in these years more than 20, 000 Jews from Sighet would be sent to Auschwitz ( including the Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, born in Sighet ) and other Nazi extermination camps.

In 1978, Wiesel and Hubel were awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University.

In 2007, both Wiesel and Hubel were awarded the Marshall M. Parks, MD Medal from The Children's Eye Foundation.

Hubel and Wiesel were awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University.

Hubel and Wiesel received the Nobel Prize for two major contributions: 1. their work on development of the visual system, which involved a description of ocular dominance columns in the 1960s and 1970s ; and 2. their work establishing a foundation for visual neurophysiology, describing how signals from the eye are processed by the brain to generate edge detectors, motion detectors, stereoscopic depth detectors and color detectors, building blocks of the visual scene.

Hubel and Wiesel ( e. g., Hubel, 1963 ) advanced the theory that receptive fields of cells at one level of the visual system are formed from input by cells at a lower level of the visual system.

Hubel and Wiesel ( as cited in Clavagnier et al., 2004 ) showed that receptive fields and thus the function of cortical structures, as one proceeds out from V1 along the visual pathways, become increasingly complex and specialized.

In 1978, he was awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University together with David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, who both received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981.

A landmark experiment by David H. Hubel and Torsten Wiesel ( 1963 ) showed that cats which had one eye sewn shut from birth to three months of age ( monocular deprivation ) only fully developed vision in the open eye.
