Artery of Percheron Infarction as an Unusual Cause of Korsakoff’s Syndrome by Yongxing Zhou, Derrick Fox, Abhishek Anand, Amal Elhaj, Arushi Kapoor, Faranak Najibi, Han Kim, Roger Weir, Annapurni Jayam-Trouth

“…Neuroradiological data indicated that the intralaminar and dorsomedial nuclei in bilateral thalami were infarcted by occlusion of the artery of Percheron. We believe that ours is one of few reported cases of Korsakoff syndrome in a patient with infarction involving the territory of the artery of Percheron. …”

De Garengeot’s Hernia: Two Case Reports with Correct Preoperative Identification of the Vermiform Appendix in the Hernia by Zhaosheng Jin, Muhammad Rafiz Imtiaz, Henry Nnajiuba, Suzette Samlalsingh, Akinyede Ojo

“…Routine diagnostic imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and standard CT have previously shown little success in identifying de Garengeot’s hernia preoperatively. We believe this to be the first documented case of CT with concurrent oral and intravenous contrast being used to confidently and correctly diagnose de Garengeot’s hernia prior to surgery. …”

A generic self-learning emotional framework for machines by Alberto Hernández-Marcos, Eduardo Ros

“…Validation through an emotional attribution survey, where human observers rated their pleasure-arousal-dominance dimensions, showed high statistical agreement, distinguishability, and strong alignment with experimental psychology accounts. We believe that the framework’s generality and cross-disciplinary language defined, grounded on first principles from Reinforcement Learning, may lay the foundations for further research and applications, leading us toward emotional machines that think and act more like us.…”

Recent Advances in Graphene-Assisted Nonlinear Optical Signal Processing by Jian Wang, Xiao Hu

“…The graphene-assisted four-wave mixing (FWM) based wavelength conversions have been experimentally demonstrated. So, we believe that the potential applications of graphene also lie in nonlinear optical signal processing, where the combination of its unique large χ(3) nonlinearities and dispersionless over the wavelength can be fully exploited. …”

Broadening the spectrum of conflict and coexistence: A case study example of human-wolf interactions in British Columbia, Canada. by Ethan D Doney, Beatrice Frank, Douglas A Clark

“…The research findings highlight three main principles: (1) that conflict and coexistence are contextual and should be understood as such, (2) that coexistence requires collaborative processes that pay attention to equity and inclusivity, and (3) that there are frameworks or tools that can help facilitate discussions toward practical outcomes of coexistence projects. We believe that this paper helps to disambiguate coexistence and reinforce that coexistence requires focused attention to the well-being of people as much as wildlife.…”

First principle investigation of Cr doping effect on the stability of NiFe2O4 by Tianhao Rui, Yulin Lan, Congyi Li, Haibin Zhang, Xiaojing Liu

“…The calculation results suggested that the effect of Cr impurity on NiFe2O4 structural stability is site-dependent and provides theoretical evidence that explains the experimental observation of suppressed NiFe2O4-rich CRUD growth on Cr-coated nuclear fuel. We believe that lattice mismatch induced by Cr doping may lead to stress and dislocations, which suppressed further growth of NiFe2O4. …”

Social Strata Differentials in Reproductive Behavior among Agricultural Families in the Krummhörn Region (East Frisia, 1720-1874) by Kai Willführ, Charlotte Störmer

“…From 1820 onwards, high crop prices were associated with increased child (but not infant) mortality and with extended inter-birth intervals. We believe this period-sensitive response to changes in the crop price was the result of a social transition that took place during our study period, in which relations between the classes went from being based on communal “table fellowships” (Tischgemeinschaft) to being based on capitalist employer/employee arrangements.…”
