A Fast Parallel Processing Algorithm for Triangle Collision Detection Based on AABB and Octree Space Slicing in Unity3D by Kunthroza Hor, Nak-Jun Sung, Jun Ma, Min-Hyung Choi, Min Hong

“…Although leveraging CPU for computational speed improvements has gained significant recognition in recent years, this study distinguishes by tracking 3D geometry bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) constructed in a spatial decomposition structure with a focus on Octree-based Axis-Aligned Bounding Box (AABB) structure in 3D scene to compute collision detection to swiftly reject disjoint objects and minimize the number of triangle primitives that need to be processed and then the Möller method is utilized to compute precise triangle primitives, further enhancing the efficiency and precision of the collision detection process. …”

The link between spreading depolarization and innate immunity in the central nervous system by Kadir Oguzhan Soylu, Muge Yemisci, Hulya Karatas

“…Research has established a clear link between SD and the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways, particularly through the release of cytokines like interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α, and the involvement of inflammatory mediators such as cyclooxygenase-2 and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Mechanistically, the opening of pannexin-1 (Panx1) channels and the activation of the (NOD)-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome play critical roles in this process, facilitating the release of inflammatory signals that can exacerbate conditions like migraine. …”
