Ultra high density imaging arrays in diffuse optical tomography for human brain mapping improve image quality and decoding performance by Zachary E. Markow, Jason W. Trobaugh, Edward J. Richter, Kalyan Tripathy, Sean M. Rafferty, Alexandra M. Svoboda, Mariel L. Schroeder, Tracy M. Burns-Yocum, Karla M. Bergonzi, Mark A. Chevillet, Emily M. Mugler, Adam T. Eggebrecht, Joseph P. Culver

“…HD-DOT grids have smaller inter-optode spacing (~ 13 mm) than sparse fNIRS (~ 30 mm) and therefore provide higher image quality, with spatial resolution ~ 1/2 that of fMRI, when using the several source-detector distances (13–40 mm) afforded by the HD-DOT grid. …”

Effect of Catalytic Cylinders on Autothermal Reforming of Methane for Hydrogen Production in a Microchamber Reactor by Yunfei Yan, Hongliang Guo, Li Zhang, Junchen Zhu, Zhongqing Yang, Qiang Tang, Xin Ji

“…A new multicylinder microchamber reactor is designed on autothermal reforming of methane for hydrogen production, and its performance and thermal behavior, that is, based on the reaction mechanism, is numerically investigated by varying the cylinder radius, cylinder spacing, and cylinder layout. The results show that larger cylinder radius can promote reforming reaction; the mass fraction of methane decreased from 26% to 21% with cylinder radius from 0.25 mm to 0.75 mm; compact cylinder spacing corresponds to more catalytic surface and the time to steady state is decreased from 40 s to 20 s; alteration of staggered and aligned cylinder layout at constant inlet flow rates does not result in significant difference in reactor performance and it can be neglected. …”

Synthesis of Circular Array Antenna for Sidelobe Level and Aperture Size Control Using Flower Pollination Algorithm by V. S. S. S. Chakravarthy Vedula, S. R. Chowdary Paladuga, M. Rao Prithvi

“…The synthesis technique considered here adapts one and two degrees of freedom, namely, amplitude only and amplitude spacing. The effectiveness of the FPA is studied by comparing the results with genetic algorithm (GA) and uniform circular array antenna (UCAA) with uniform spacing. …”

An elementary approach to the homological properties of constant-rank operators by Arroyo-Rabasa, Adolfo, Simental, José

“…We establish that the constant-rank property is a sufficient and necessary condition for the validity of a generalized Poincaré lemma on spaces of homogeneous maps over $\mathbb{R}^d$, and we prove that the existence of potentials on spaces of periodic maps requires a strictly weaker condition than the constant-rank property.…”

Le paysagisme : source et ressource pour l’urbanisme ? by Benoît Romeyer

“…It successively identifies and defines the urban design practises predominantly influenced by the “plant” component, and which involve the notions of the embellishment, re-enchantment and "re-naturing" of open spaces, and the practises that specifically concern the landscape component of the parks, “green and blue” infrastructures, and “extra-urban” spaces of different neighbourhoods, suburbs and garden cities. …”

Global warming and cities. Increasing vegetation and urban planning between the unfinished and the urban landscape by Andrea Sciascia

“…In the course of this in-depth study, this proposal finds an experimental verification through some concrete design experiences that combine the environmental objective while taking care of the quality of living spaces. The projects demonstrate how the twofold objective (containment of global warming and quality of living spaces) remains constant regardless of the scales of intervention, testifying to an overall cultural transformation that takes shape from interior architecture to the territory.   …”
