Large Eddy Simulation of Unstably Stratified Turbulent Flow over Urban-Like Building Arrays by Bobin Wang, Guixiang Cui

“…Mean flow structure inside canopy layer varies with thermal instability, while no large secondary vortex is observed. Turbulent intensities are enhanced, as buoyancy force contributes to the production of turbulent kinetic energy.…”

Le Kivu dans la guerre : acteurs et enjeux by Roland Pourtier

“…In the mean time, the FAR, leaded by Paul Kagame has won the civil war in Rwanda, and the core of the violence vortex has switched to the DRC where a part of the hutu resistant movement has established its bases and from where it keeps assaulting the Rwandan territory. …”

Alignment-induced self-organization of autonomously steering microswimmers: Turbulence, clusters, vortices, and jets by Segun Goh, Elmar Westphal, Roland G. Winkler, Gerhard Gompper

“…Pullers exhibit a strong tendency for clustering and display velocity and vorticity distributions with fat exponential tails; their dynamics is chaotic, with a temporal appearance of vortex rings and fluid jets. Our results show that the collective behavior of autonomously steering microswimmers displays a rich variety of dynamic self-organized structures. …”

Difference equations: From Berry connections to the Coulomb branch by Andrea E. V. Ferrari, Daniel Zhang

“…This action could be quantised to first-order matrix difference equations obeyed by brane amplitudes, and by taking the conformal limit, vortex partition functions. In this article, we elucidate how some of these results may be recovered from a 3d perspective, by placing the 2d theory at a boundary and gauging the flavour symmetry via a bulk A-twisted 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theory (a sandwich construction). …”

Acute Psychological Stress Modulates the Expression of Enzymes Involved in the Kynurenine Pathway throughout Corticolimbic Circuits in Adult Male Rats by Haley A. Vecchiarelli, Chaitanya P. Gandhi, Matthew N. Hill

“…Herein, we examined the effects of an acute psychological stress (120 min restraint) on gene expression patterns of enzymes along the kynurenine pathway over a protracted time-course (1–24 h post-stress termination) within the amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and medial prefrontal cortex. Time-dependent changes in differential enzymes along the kynurenine metabolism pathway, particularly those involved in the production of quinolinic acid, were found within the amygdala, hypothalamus, and medial prefrontal cortex, with no changes seen in the hippocampus. …”

Characterization of Human-Induced Neural Stem Cells and Derivatives following Transplantation into the Central Nervous System of a Nonhuman Primate and Rats by Mengjia Li, Zhengbo Wang, Tianqi Zheng, Tianzhuang Huang, Baoguo Liu, Deqiang Han, Sumei Liu, Bochao Liu, Mo Li, Wei Si, Y. Alex Zhang, Yuyu Niu, Zhiguo Chen

“…Targeted integration of GFP does not affect the proliferation and differentiation capacity of iNSCs. iNSC-GFP can be further differentiated into dopaminergic precursors (DAPs) and motor neuron precursors (MNPs), respectively. iNSCs were engrafted into the motor cortex and iNSC-DAPs into the striatum and substantia nigra (SN) of a nonhuman primate, respectively. …”
