Automated Detection of Galactic Rings from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Images by Linn Abraham, Sheelu Abraham, Ajit K. Kembhavi, N. S. Philip, A. K. Aniyan, Sudhanshu Barway, Harish Kumar

“…It is therefore important to catalog and study such features and to correlate them with other basic galaxy properties, the environments in which the galaxies are located, and their interactions with other galaxies. The volume of present and future data on galaxies is so large that traditional methods, which involve expert astronomers identifying morphological features through visual inspection, are no longer sufficient. …”

The Impact of Optical Undersampling on the Ca2+ Signal Resolution in Ca2+ Imaging of Spontaneous Neuronal Activity by Katarina D. Milicevic, Violetta O. Ivanova, Tina N. Brazil, Cesar A. Varillas, Yan M.D. Zhu, Pavle R. Andjus, Srdjan D. Antic

“…Large Ca2+ transients exhibited greater amplitudes and faster temporal dynamics in dendrites compared with somas, potentially due to the higher surface-to-volume ratio of dendrites. In neurons bulk-loaded with OGB1-AM, cell nucleus-mediated signal distortions were observed in every neuron examined (n = 57). …”
