Statistical Analysis of Compact Single-source Flares Observed by STIX by Michalina Litwicka, Tomasz Mrozek, Arun K. Awasthi, Marek Siarkowski, Marek Stęślicki, Janusz Sylwester, Barbara Sylwester

“…We find the fraction of HXR fluence to SXR flux to be positively correlated with volume while moderately anticorrelated with density. This indicates that tenuous flare loops emit relatively less SXR emission as a response to deposited energy, compared to dense loops.…”

Single domain wall propagation in Co-rich magnetic microwires with graded magnetic anisotropy by P. Corte-León, V. Zhukova, J. M. Blanco, J. Gonzalez, A. Zhukov

“…In such microwires, annealed with a temperature gradient, gradual variation of the hysteresis loops along the microwire length is observed. While inclined hysteresis loops are observed in as-prepared Co-rich microwires, perfectly rectangular hysteresis loops are obtained for microwires annealed at high enough temperature. …”

Novel findings regarding the role of the endocannabinoid system in pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders by Gisela Chelimsky, Lisa Conant, Pippa Simpson, Liyun Zhang, Serge Marchand, Cecilia Hillard, Thomas Chelimsky

“…The higher concentrations of PEA found in the FGID subjects, also occurring in other chronic pain conditions, could reflect a compensatory response due to feedback loops from a downregulated or nonresponsive PPAR system, while the absence of the expected relationship between pain intensity and PEA levels in the FGID group suggests that the PPAR system may not be functioning normally.…”
