Neural plasticity in early potters: Shape analysis and TMS-EEG co-registration trace the rise of a new motor skill. by Vanessa Forte, Luisa Sartori, Antonino Visalli, Mustafa Yildirim, Gaspare Galati, Massimo Vidale, Emanuela Faresin, Antonino Vallesi

“…Coiling, one of the most widespread neolithic techniques, requires precise hand movements and the ability to regulate finger pressure to shape the clay without deformation. In a pilot study involving intensive training in neolithic pottery, we used TMS-EEG co-registration to monitor a group of participants and we examined the shape of the artefacts they made before and after training. …”

Application and Demand Model of 5G Communication Technology in Hydrology by LIU Yunshan, LIU Xunhua, GUO Dongrong

“…In the context of hydrological modernization,the existing communication technology is unable to support the ever-increasing requirements.At present,the application of 5G in many fields has achieved good results.However,there is no in-depth analysis and research on its application situation in the hydrological industry and the demand of the hydrological industry based on 5G.Depending on the analysis of the station network,informatization status and communication technology application regarding hydrology in Ganzhou,the pilot application of 5G in Ganzhou demonstrates that 5G communication technology has obvious advantages over the current communication technology in terms of high-definition video surveillance,hydrological factors monitoring and software system.The analysis of hydrological demand based on 5G yields that demand points for 5G are mainly reflected in hydrological monitoring,equipment technology,video surveillance,software system,hydrological services and Internet of Things related to hydrology,hydrological management and other scalable business.The connection between demand points is also established to build a demand model of 5G-based intelligent hydrology.Noteworthily,the mature application of 5G in the hydrological field to support intelligent hydrology still suffers from some problems,such as low industrialization of support equipment,high cost,small signal coverage and difficult talent training.The next research direction is also proposed in this paper.…”

The Impact of Debate Lessons, Powered by Generative AI, on Student Learning by Seow Yongzhi

“…Student speakers were assigned for each debate, and all students formed teams to do research with the help of AI tools such as Chat GPT and Microsoft CoPilot. Through student preparatory work, student survey data, and teacher observations, I find that debates are powerful devices to build excitement and spark joy amongst students but require a high degree of preparatory work and active student management by the teacher to achieve desired knowledge outcomes. …”

Elimination of metoclopramid by the adsorption process (GAC) and ozone process by Oussama Khemis, Gabriel Racovițeanu, Elena Vulpașu

“…This study investigated the reduction of a pharmaceutical substance metoclopramid during two simultaneous processes (ozone process and adsorption process) applied in a large-scale drinking water treatment pilot with two different EBCTs (3 minutes and 6 minutes), and the initial concentrations used were 1.6 mg/l, 0.8 mg/l, and 0.4 mg/l. we chose ozonation, which produces many hydroxyl radicals to decompose the pharmaceutical substance metoclopramide to eliminate it, and for the adsorption process, we chose granular activated carbon with a high capacity for adsorption.…”
