Growth of Different Sizes of Bulbil Iles-iles (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) on Several Planting Media Types by Sumarwoto Sumarwoto, Maryana Maryana

“…The second factor is the type of planting media which consists of three levels: M1 (soil + litter), M2 (soil + cow manure), and M3 (soil + chicken manure).The results showed that medium size and large size bulbil are good to be used as seeds, while the small one can be used as seed only if it has been maintained in special treatment. …”

Concurrent optoacoustic tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of resting-state functional connectivity in the mouse brain by Irmak Gezginer, Zhenyue Chen, Hikari A. I. Yoshihara, Xosé Luís Deán-Ben, Valerio Zerbi, Daniel Razansky

“…The unique blood oxygenation readings and high spatio-temporal resolution at depths provided by functional optoacoustic (fOA) imaging offer an effective means for elucidating the connection between BOLD and hemoglobin responses. Seed-based and independent component analyses reveal spatially overlapping bilateral correlations between the fMRI-BOLD readings and the multiple hemodynamic components measured with fOA but also subtle discrepancies, particularly in anti-correlations. …”
