Effect of Pulsed Electric Field on the Cations Removal from Salt-Affected Soils to Optimize Energy Use Efficiency in Reclamation by Ahmed Abou-Shady

“…In the current study, soil electrokinetics (SEK) under pulsed-mode electric field operation was used to evaluate and optimize energy use efficiency for reclaiming salt-affected soils, which is one of the electro-agric technology branches that was suggested in 2021 to address the water crisis in arid and semi-arid regions. Under a fixed applied voltage of 5 V, or 1 V/cm, the calcareous, highly salinized soil under investigation was reclaimed. …”

Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial with gamma-band transcranial alternating current stimulation for the treatment of schizophrenia refractory auditor... by Xiaojuan Wang, Xiaochen Zhang, Yuan Chang, Jingmeng Liao, Shuang Liu, Dong Ming

“…Transcranial alternating current stimulation is thought to enhance connectivity between different brain regions by modulating brain oscillations. In this work, we applied a frontal-temporal-parietal 40 Hz-tACS stimulation strategy for treating auditory hallucinations and further explored the effect of tACS on functional connectivity of brain networks. 32 schizophrenia patients with refractory auditory hallucinations received 20daily 20-min, 40 Hz, 1 mA sessions of active or sham tACS on weekdays for 4 consecutive weeks, followed by a 2-week follow-up period without stimulation. …”

Geomorphic imprint of high-mountain floods: insights from the 2022 hydrological extreme across the upper Indus River catchment in the northwestern Himalayas by A. Kashyap, K. L. Cook, M. D. Behera

“…The higher-order reaches of the upper Indus River received an anomalously high amount of precipitation, which, when combined with substantial glacial-melt discharge, contributed to an extreme flood across the high-relief, steep-gradient channels. The flood-affected regions had high mean basin <span class="inline-formula"><i>k</i>_sn</span> (normalized steepness index) values and stream length–gradient (SL) index values, with numerous spikes in their magnitudes along their channel profiles downstream. …”
