Classification of Resting-State Status Based on Sample Entropy and Power Spectrum of Electroencephalography (EEG) by Ahmed M. A. Mohamed, Osman N. Uçan, Oğuz Bayat, Adil Deniz Duru

“…This paper discusses the resting state of the brain with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) by using sixteen channels by the use of conventional frequency bands and entropy of the EEG signal. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and sample entropy (SE) of each sensor are computed as methods of feature extraction. …”

Resolving Rapid Radiation of Voles and Lemmings (Arvicolinae: Cricetinae, Rodentia) with QuaddRAD Sequencing and Transcriptome Analysis by Natalia Abramson, Elizaveta Skalon, Olga Bondareva, Semen Bodrov, Tatyana Petrova, Ivan Dvoyashov

“…Voles and lemmings (subfamily Arvicolinae) remain some of the most difficult groups for disentangling phylogenetic relations owing to recent and very fast explosive radiation. The rapid radiation events are challenging for phylogenetic analysis and produce bushes of various shapes that are impossible to resolve with a straightforward approach using individual loci. …”

A Semi-Analytical Approach for State-Space Electromagnetic Transient Simulation by Min Xiong, Kaiyang Huang, Yang Liu, Rui Yao, Kai Sun, Feng Qiu

“…The approach first derives a high-order semi-analytical solution (SAS) of the grid’s state-space EMT model using the differential transformation (DT), and then evaluates the solution over enlarged, variable time steps to significantly accelerate the simulations while maintaining its high accuracy on detailed fast EMT dynamics. The approach also addresses switches during large time steps by using a limit violation detection algorithm with a binary search-enhanced quadratic interpolation. …”

Effects of High Shearing Rates on the Shear Behavior of Saturated Loess Using Ring Shear Tests by Jianquan Ma, Xiaojie Zhao, Shibo Li, Zhao Duan

“…Monitoring the pore-water pressure during the shearing process revealed that it increased with shear displacement, and a higher excess pore-water pressure was generated within the shear zone during the fast-shearing process. Comparing the particle size distribution of the samples after the test and the original sample showed that the particles were crushed during the shearing process. …”

A Method for Determination of Metals in Hybrid Metal Oxide/Metal-Carbon Nanotubes Catalysts by Joanna Bok-Badura, Agata Jakóbik-Kolon, Agata Łamacz, Krzysztof Karoń

“…Due to the fact that production processes are usually unpredictable and the total amount of metal/metal oxide deposited on the CNTs may only be estimated, the methods for examining the chemical composition are necessary. In this study, fast and simple inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with slurry nebulization was proposed for metal content determination in hybrid CeZrO2/CNT, Ni-CeZrO2/CNT, and Ni/CNT materials. …”

Observations of Blue Corona Discharges in Thunderclouds by Lasse Skaaning Husbjerg, Torsten Neubert, Olivier Chanrion, Krystallia Dimitriadou, Dongshuai Li, Martin Stendel, Eigil Kaas, Nikolai Østgaard, Victor Reglero

“…Analyzing 3 years of measurements by the Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor on the International Space Station, we find that their distribution in rise time falls into two categories. One with fast rise times of 30 μs or less that are relatively unaffected by cloud scattering and emanate from within ∼2 km of the cloud tops, and another with longer rise times from deeper within the clouds. 50% of cells generating shallow events are associated with overshooting tops compared to 34% of cells generating deeper events. …”
