Retinal Electrophysiology Is a Viable Preclinical Biomarker for Drug Penetrance into the Central Nervous System by Jason Charng, Zheng He, Algis J. Vingrys, Rebecca L. Fish, Rachel Gurrell, Bang V. Bui, Christine T. Nguyen

“…Retinal electrophysiology, when recorded in conscious animals, shows promise as a viable biomarker of drug penetration into the CNS. In contrast, when conducted under anaesthetised conditions confounds can be induced in both cortical and retinal electrophysiological recordings.…”

Quantifying Uncertainty in State Estimation: The MoK-FoBS Method via Interval Analysis by Yuting Chen, Ning Zhou, Ziang Zhang

“…Employing simulation data derived from IEEE testing systems, it is verified through the Monte Carlo method that the MoK-FoBS method can estimate hard boundaries that invariably contain the true state values. In contrast, the true state values may lie outside the uncertainty boundaries estimated by the weighted least squares approach. …”

Digital Twin-Based Modeling of Complex Systems for Smart Aging by Yiyi Deng

“…The fall detection results based on the digital twin selected thresholds are significantly better than the experimental results of the manually set threshold method; the thresholds set by the digital twin can more accurately identify daily behaviors, especially the more violent daily behaviors such as lying down, and the accurate alarm rate of the falling behavior reaches 92.5%. In contrast, the artificially set thresholds have a lower overall recognition rate for human behaviors and are prone to misclassification, with a misclassification rate of 3.8%. …”

Selective inhibition by antiflamrnin-2 of thromboxane B2 release from isolated and perfused guinea-pig lung by Lidia Sautebin, Giuseppe Cirino, Massimo Di Rosa

“…AF-2 (10–100 nM) inhibited leukotriene C4- (LTC4) (3 ng) and antigen-induced (ovalbumin, 1 mg) TXB2 release in normal and sensitized lungs, respectively. In contrast AF-2 (100 nM) did not modify TXB2 release induced by histamine (5 μg) or bradykinin (5 μg) in normal lungs. …”

The Estimation of Reservoir Temperature for Thermal Springs Using the Integrated Multicomponent Geothermometry Method at Changbai Mountain, Northeastern Songliao Basin, China by Jin Na, Bai-zhong Yan, Bao-ming Chi, Bo Feng, Xue Jiang

“…The results show that the geothermal reservoir temperatures of these springs range from 118 to 172°C in the Changbai Mountain volcanic region. In contrast to classic geothermometers, the IMG method can quantify processes affecting the fluid chemical composition and yield reasonable temperatures. …”

Multiplexed transcriptomic analyzes of the plant embryonic hourglass by Hao Wu, Ruqiang Zhang, Karl J. Niklas, Michael J. Scanlon

“…Transcriptomic analyzes reveal an hourglass pattern of gene expression during plant and animal embryogenesis, characterized by the accumulation of evolutionarily older and conserved transcripts during mid-embryogenesis, whereas younger less-conserved transcripts predominate at earlier and later embryonic stages. In contrast, comparisons of embryonic gene expression among different animal phyla describe an inverse hourglass pattern, where expression is correlated during early and late stages but not during mid-embryo development. …”

Broadband Equivalent Circuit Model for a Coplanar Waveguide Line Loaded with Split Ring Resonators by Victor Sanz, Angel Belenguer, Alejandro L. Borja, Joaquin Cascon, Hector Esteban, Vicente E. Boria

“…The traditional circuits that model these devices are only able to characterize the left-handed propagation band, and their response is very similar to the real one within a very limited bandwidth. In contrast, this proposed broadband equivalent circuit is able to portray not only the left-handed propagation band, but also the right-handed one that occurs at higher frequencies. …”
