Effect of Tunable Dielectric Core on Optical Bistability in Cylindrical Core–Shell Nanocomposites by Shewa Getachew

“…Furthermore, we demonstrated that the magnitude of the imaginary part of the active dielectric core increases as the onset and offset input intensities increase. This indicates that the optical bistability or threshold width range widens as the imaginary part of the dielectric function of the dielectric core increases, thereby enlarging the threshold domain to improve system activation.…”

Regional nutrient emissions and hydrological regime modulate the spatiotemporal patterns of nutrient levels within lake bay by Qiqi Yuan, Zhihui Ren, Ruidong Chen, Qingji Zhang, Jinsong Ma, Lachun Wang

“…A 12 % reduction in river discharge during the dry season resulted in a corresponding decrease in TN and TP loads in the lake bays, with the reduction in TP (1.81 %) greater than that of TN (1.39 %). This study offered insights into nutrient transport and guidance for managing nutrients in lake basins.…”

Uncovering Psychedelics: From Neural Circuits to Therapeutic Applications by Alice Melani, Marco Bonaso, Letizia Biso, Benedetta Zucchini, Ciro Conversano, Marco Scarselli

“…Advanced neuroimaging techniques reveal psychedelics’ capacity to enhance functional connectivity between sensory cerebral areas while reducing the connections between associative brain areas, decreasing the rigidity and rendering the brain more plastic and susceptible to external changings, offering insights into their therapeutic outcome. The most relevant clinical trials of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), psilocybin, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) demonstrate significant efficacy in treating treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety, with favorable safety profiles. …”
