Gauguin, Buffalo Bill, and the Cowboy Hat by Nancy Mowll Mathews

“…In Gauguin’s interpretation of both Buffalo Bill’s gender performativity and of the avant-garde scout, we gain a new appreciation of Cody’s daring embrace of androgyny and rejection of the narrowness of western civilization, all of which makes him more “modernist” than the twentieth-century cowboy mythology has previously led us to believe.…”

Zero-echo time imaging achieves whole brain activity mapping without ventral signal loss in mice by Ayako Imamura, Rikita Araki, Yukari Takahashi, Koichi Miyatake, Fusao Kato, Sakiko Honjoh, Tomokazu Tsurugizawa

“…However, the widely used fMRI with T2*-weighted imaging in rodents has the problem of signal lack in the lateral ventral area of forebrain including the amygdala, which is essential for not only emotion but also noxious pain. Here, we scouted the zero-echo time (ZTE) sequence, which is robust to magnetic susceptibility and motion-derived artifacts, to image activation in the whole brain including the amygdala following the noxious stimulation to the hind paw. …”

The Prevalence of Star-forming Clumps as a Function of Environmental Overdensity in Local Galaxies by Dominic Adams, Hugh Dickinson, Lucy Fortson, Kameswara Mantha, Vihang Mehta, Jürgen Popp, Claudia Scarlata, Chris Lintott, Brooke Simmons, Mike Walmsley

“…To obtain our clump sample, we use a Faster R-CNN object detection network trained on the catalog of clump labels provided by the Galaxy Zoo: Clump Scout project, then apply this network to detect clumps in approximately 240,000 Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxies (originally selected for Galaxy Zoo 2). …”

Savi’s pipistrelle (Hypsugo savii) in Ukraine: analysis of records and evidence of expansion by Igor Polischuk, Igor Zagorodniuk

“…The authors consider registrations of signals of Hypsugo savii as the actual appearance of this bat species, but not in the form of new populations, but as individuals appearing as scouts exploring new territories. Actually, the latter explains the lack of actual findings of this species.…”
