The Calculation of Single-Nucleon Energies of Nuclei by Considering Two-Body Effective Interaction, n(k,ρ), and a Hartree-Fock Inspired Scheme by H. Mariji

“…The nucleon single-particle energies (SPEs) of the selected nuclei, that is, O16, Ca40, and Ni56, are obtained by using the diagonal matrix elements of two-body effective interaction, which generated through the lowest-order constrained variational (LOCV) calculations for the symmetric nuclear matter with the Aυ18 phenomenological nucleon-nucleon potential. …”

Proximate Composition of Thai and Cambodian Ready-to-Eat Insects by N. T. Grabowski, T. Chhay, S. Keo, R. Lertpatarakomol, J. Kajaysri, K. Kang, P. Miech, M. Plötz, J. Mitchaothai

“…In general, the insects mainly consisted of fat (35 to 60%) and protein (25 to 38%), with 2 to 16% nitrogen-free extract, 2 to 15% fibre, 3 to 5% ashes, 0.4 to 1.6% Na, and 0.6 to 1.4% Cl (dry matter base). In this way, this contribution adds to the compositional knowledge about traditional insect-based foodstuffs. …”

Patterns of Dysgraphia in Primary Progressive Aphasia Compared to Post-Stroke Aphasia by Andreia V. Faria, Jenny Crinion, Kyrana Tsapkini, Melissa Newhart, Cameron Davis, Shannon Cooley, Susumu Mori, Argye E. Hillis

“…Using structural imaging techniques, we found that damage to the left extrasylvian regions, including the uncinate, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, and sagittal stratum (including geniculostriate pathway and inferior longitudinal fasciculus), as well as other deep white and grey matter structures, was significantly associated with impairments in access to orthographic word forms and semantics (with reliance on phonology-to-orthography to produce a plausible spelling in the spelling to dictation task). …”

Brain Stroke Detection by Microwaves Using Prior Information from Clinical Databases by Natalia Irishina, Aurora Torrente

“…Nevertheless, the contrast in the conductivity and permittivity values in this situation is significant due to blood high dielectric values compared to those of surrounding grey and white matter tissues. We show that using brain MRI images as prior information about brain's configuration, along with known brain dielectric properties, and the intrinsic regularization by structural inversion, allows successful and rapid stroke detection even in difficult cases. …”
