Performance Analysis of Cardioid and Omnidirectional Microphones in Spherical Sector Arrays for Coherent Source Localization by Chibuzo Joseph Nnonyelu, Meng Jiang, Marianthi Adamopoulou, Jan Lundgren

“…Modal strength analysis demonstrates that cardioid microphones in open spherical sectors enhance nonzero-order strengths and eliminate the nulls associated with spherical Bessel functions. We find that the spatial resolution of spherical cap arrays depends on the array’s maximum order and the limiting polar angle, but is independent of the microphone gain pattern. …”

Calcium homeostasis and cone signaling are regulated by interactions between calcium stores and plasma membrane ion channels. by Tamas Szikra, Peter Barabas, Theodore M Bartoletti, Wei Huang, Abram Akopian, Wallace B Thoreson, David Krizaj

“…Exposure to MRS 1845 resulted in approximately 40% reduction of light-evoked postsynaptic currents in photopic horizontal cells without affecting the light responses or voltage-operated Ca(2+) currents in simultaneously recorded cones. The spatial pattern of store-operated calcium entry in cones matched immunolocalization of the store-operated sensor STIM1. …”

Spatio-temporal variation and influencing factors of carbon emissions from land use change in Xilingol region of Inner Mongolia, China by Anting Du, Siqin Tong, Jinyuan Ren, Gang Bao, Xiaojun Huang, Yuhai Bao, Dorjsuren Altantuya, Chunlan Li

“…The results yielded three key findings: (1) built-up areas expanded by 2.4 times, becoming the dominant carbon source, while the high- and moderate-coverage grasslands declined significantly; (2) LUCE exhibited the distinct spatiotemporal patterns, remaining stable and low from 1990 to 2000 but increasing rapidly from 2000 to 2020, with the spatial distribution demonstrating the “east-high, west-low; south-high, and north-low” pattern and the emissions consistently concentrated in or near Xilinhot City; and (3) the influence of drivers shifted over time, with the biological disturbances becoming increasingly prominent, while the impacts of urbanization, industrialization, and economic factors declined after 2000. …”

Spatiotemporal Variability and Drivers of Cropland Non-Agricultural Conversion Across Mountainous County Types: Evidence from the Qian-Gui Karst Region, China by Qingping Lu, Siji Zhu, Zhaofu Xiao, Guifang Zhu, Jie Li, Jiahao Cui, Wen He, Jun Sun

“…Specifically, the growth rate of the CNAC area was the highest in apparent mountainous (110.36%) and quasi-mountainous counties (100.5%), followed by semi-mountainous counties (95.28%), while entirely mountainous (40.89%) and pure hilly counties (37.68%) experienced the lowest growth, revealing distinct regional disparities. (2) Spatially, CNAC exhibited a pattern of “high in the north and south, low in the central region”, and the overall level of CNAC displayed significant regional imbalances, with extreme grades distributed in provincial capitals, high and medium grades concentrated in prefecture-level city districts, and light and low grades mainly located in counties and districts (accounting for more than 55.56% of the total number of research units in the two time periods). (3) There was significant spatial heterogeneity in the driving effect of factors influencing CNAC. …”
