Spontaneous blinking and brain health in aging: Large-scale evaluation of blink-related oscillations across the lifespan by Sujoy Ghosh Hajra, Jed A. Meltzer, Prerana Keerthi, Chloe Pappas, Allison B. Sekuler, Cam-CAN Group, Careesa Chang Liu

“…Crucially, these age-related differences were not observed in the behavioral measures of task performance such as reaction time and accuracy, suggesting that blink-related neural responses during the target detection task are more sensitive in capturing aging-related brain function changes compared to behavioral measures alone. …”

Real-World Efficacy of Explainable Artificial Intelligence using the SAGE Framework and Scenario-Based Design by Eleanor Mill, Wolfgang Garn, Chris Turner

“…The first of its kind, it leverages three distinct but complementary frameworks to support a user-centric and context-sensitive, post-hoc explanation for fraud detection. Using the principles of scenario-based design, it amalgamates two independent real-world sources to establish a realistic card fraud prediction scenario. …”

Environmental Performance of Existing Cities and Green Infrastructures—Two Case Studies Compared: Reggio Calabria and Enna, Italy by Celestina Fazia

“…The research identifies two ways to prepare cities to meet the challenges: the first is to optimize the way the urban organism functions by containing CO₂ emissions and consumption of nonrenewable resources by indicating strategies to regenerate the existing city according to an ecosystem approach; the second is to preserve the natural areas of the peri-urban area through graded forms of protection and enhancement by curbing the settlement thrusts of the existing city. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”
