Scalp electrode placement accuracy for the canine electroencephalography array by Stephen Everest, Stephen Everest, Myles St-Denis, Robert Dony, Luis Gaitero, Alexander Zur Linden, Miguel A. Cortez, Thomas Parmentier, Fiona M. K. James

“…IntroductionDespite the common occurrence of idiopathic epilepsy amongst neurological conditions in dogs, electroencephalography (EEG), the gold standard for seizure detection, is relatively neglected. The use of EEG in veterinary medicine is rudimentary compared to that in human medicine, particularly with respect to the quantification of EEG electrode placement error, i.e., the accuracy of electrode placement relative to the diverse canine cortical topography.MethodsTherefore, we quantified the intra-observer EEG electrode placement error using a single canine EEG electrode placement array, on virtual models of head and brain created from archived computed tomographic scans of Brachycephalic (n = 5), Mesocephalic (n = 15) and Dolichocephalic (n = 5) dogs from breeds with archetypal skull conformation. …”

Influence of Emergent Vegetation Layout on Flow Pattern in a Rectangular Shallow Basin by Junnan LYU, Yuxuan JIANG, Zhidong YAO, Chen YE, Xufeng YAN

“…Incorporating a vegetation drag term into the momentum equations allows the simulation of flow dynamics influenced by emergent vegetation.Results and Discussions In order to examine the impact of vegetation’s spatial distribution on flow patterns within a shallow basin, five vegetation distribution scenarios are conceptualized: 1) complete coverage, 2) lateral full coverage with variable longitudinal partial coverage downstream of the inlet (LFVLPI), 3) lateral full coverage with variable longitudinal coverage downstream of the outlet (LFVLPO), 4) longitudinal full coverage with variable symmetrical lateral partial coverage (LFVSLP), and 5) localized vegetation coverage near the inlet. …”
