Visualization of four-dimensional X-ray absorption fine structure data using a virtual reality system by Haruo Igarashi, Daiki Kido, Yutaka Ishii, Yasuhiro Niwa, Atsushi Okamoto, Masao Kimura

“…However, understanding and analyzing the geometric and topological aspects of such data pose challenges due to their representation in 4D space, encompassing (x, y, z) coordinates along with the energy (E) axis and often extending to 5D space with the inclusion of time (t) or reaction degree. In this study, we addressed this challenge by developing a new approach and introducing a device named `4D-XASView', specifically designed for visualizing X-ray absorption fine structures (XAFS) data in 4D (comprising 3D space and energy), through a multi-projection system, within the virtual reality (VR) environment. …”

Effects of a synthetic analog of the bovine appeasing pheromone on the overall welfare of dairy calves from birth through weaning by J. Garcia-Alvarez, E. Teruel, A. Cozzi, E. Harris, S.M. Rutter, A. Beaver

“…The use of BAP had a positive effect on ADG after weaning and during group housing and resulted in increased resting time after weaning. Moreover, BAP was associated with a reduction in the activation of the neuroendocrine system evidenced by higher HRV parameters after weaning, including increased standard deviation of beat to beat of normal sinus beats and root mean squares of successive differences. …”
