Model-agnostic neural mean field with a data-driven transfer function by Alex Spaeth, David Haussler, Mircea Teodorescu

“…However, existing neural mean-field methods typically either take the limit of small interaction sizes, or are applicable only to the specific neuron models for which they were derived. This paper derives a mean-field model by fitting a transfer function called Refractory SoftPlus, which is simple yet applicable to a broad variety of neuron types. …”

Ultrathin skin-conformable electrodes with high water vapor permeability and stretchability characteristics composed of single-walled carbon nanotube networks assembled on elastome... by Tatsuhiro Horii, Kai Yamashita, Marimo Ito, Kei Okada, Toshinori Fujie

“…Furthermore, the calculated water vapor transmission ratio of the 210-nm-thick SBS nanosheets (268,172 g m−2 (2 h)−1) is greater than that of the filter paper (6345 g m−2 (2 h)−1). The SWCNT 3rd-SBS nanosheets attached to model skin show high tolerances to bending and artificial sweat at different pH values (i.e., the electrical resistance changes ~1.1 times). …”

Status and New Data of the Geochemical Determination of the pp-Neutrino Flux by LOREX by M. K. Pavićević, F. Bosch, G. Amthauer, I. Aničin, B. Boev, W. Brüchle, V. Cvetković, Z. Djurčić, W. F. Henning, R. Jelenković, V. Pejović, A. Weiss

“…To get the mean solar neutrino flux itself, four problems have to be addressed: (1) the geological age of lorandite, (2) the amount of background cosmic-ray-induced 205Pb atoms which strongly depends on the erosion rate of the lorandite-bearing rocks, (3) the capture probability of solar neutrinos by 205Tl and (4) the extraction of lorandite and the appropriate technique to “count” the small number of 205Pb atoms in relation to the number of 205Tl atoms. This paper summarizes the status of items 1 (age) and 3 (neutrino capture probability) and presents in detail the progress achieved most recently concerning the items 2 (background/erosion) and 4 (“counting” of 205Pb atoms in lorandite).…”
